I imagined that with all the pictures that were taken of Lewaine and I on Saturday night, that a few would wind up on Flickr.

I was right

So when I am not writing (rewriting??) scripts, or hammering out fx shots, this has been keeping me busy.
A sneak peek at the character design for an animated project.

It’s a rough design, but it’s getting closer…

A peek behind the curtain

So I worked this weekend on compositing footage from the screentests with some FX footage.
This is a very rough cut, but I wanted to put this up as a before scene.

There are actually 4 separate shots combined into this quick clip. This was a quick study in camera matching. Next, I will redo the shots entirely in 3d space, and build up an environment around the scene, instead of it just being a black backdrop.

By next weekend, all the snazzy FX will be added, and the rough spots ironed out.

ok, I have been very busy planning and testing alot of cool stuff for the SAF (the working title of the Short Action Film)

I changed the production company website to be a 3 part venture. A flash based main page, which will contain mostly static data, but it has a link to the blog, and off the blog you can find the discussion forum.

So its been crazy busy, but things will only get more hectic as October approaches and we begin shooting.

From humble beginnings

This is from a story idea that has been in my head for about 20 years now.

Rough draft of something cool. Thing very retro/mod/sci-fi fairytale.

There goes the weekend!

So guess who got a bright shiny new invitation to the Wrath of the Lich King Beta??

There went my weekend!

Here is a quick tease…

Methodology shift!

ARRRGHHH!

I have not found a 3D program that just knocks my socks off yet.

So I have decided I am going to try out the last in the big 3, XSI.

I like what I see so far, and version 7 looks like it has some out of the world features, and the UI for ICE just looks so sweet.

So I am going to do my first 3D short in XSI. I hope to have it released around christmas.
I will post more here about it as I flesh out the concept art and model sheets.
I already have an outline of a story to build into the script.

My latest creation: No time 4 sleep

I have no idea why, but here we are
