I suppose it had to come around - I’ve been dreading the week when I have to do a post on this sequence, mainly because, as yet, I really don’t have a clue how/what we’re going to be doing….
This is the opening of the film, and we’ve been looking at the big fight at the […]

Well, after my last post, I actually looked more into the two blogs packages I mentioned, and have decided to go with WordPress.
The current theme is a very slightly modified version of the default one - I’m going to be playing around with this over the next few days.
The RSS link has also changed - […]

I know this blog has only been around for a month (or less…), but there are some things about blogger.com’s blog system that bug me, and I’ve been thinking about moving over to a different system….
Don’t get me wrong - I think blogger.com is absolutely fantastic - it’s a really easy way for people to […]

I’ve heard a lot of people talking recently about A Scanner Darkly, and the semi-animated look that the film has. (If you haven’t seen the trailer, you can watch it on one of the pages linked to from here)
I don’t know how they did this - I’ve heard rumours that it was rotoscoped by hand, […]

Isn’t it good to have useful friends?
I’ve just commissioned a number of LED tracking markers to be made by a friend of mine who’s an electronic engineer.
He’s doing 10 that have the LED on the battery pack, and another 10 that have about a meter of wire, so there’s room to hide the battery pack […]

Before I start on this one, I’d just like to point out that this WAS about 6 years ago, I was VERY inexperienced, and I KNOW it’s crap….
(When I started looking at the footage for this one earlier this week, I started really regretting saying that I’d do something on it - it looks absolutely […]

I need to get hold of a decent chrome ball for shooting HDRI images - I’m after a proper one, preferably with a handle coming out of the bottom, and half silvered/half grey would be ideal….
Anyone got any idea where I can get hold of one from? Preferably in the UK, but if you know […]

This page may or may not be a little sporadic over the next few minutes… I’m testing out whether I am able to have php code in my templates…
this might all go horribly wrong!
Edit: Well, I don’t think I broke anything, but that experiment was a bit of a failure…. Blogger.com gives you the […]

This week’s Roy’s Odyssey post is the first of the two super-hero ones (well, to be honest, as far as the film goes, it’s the second…)
The opening of the film is, as I believe I have mentioned before, a (deliberately) cliche-filled super-hero fight involving both flying and firing lasers out of eyes/hands. These two effects […]

I’m slowly gathering a small team of people to work on Roy’s Odyssey… All (so far, anyway) are professionals working in London and all are willing to do it for the fun of it! (And no, I’m not getting paid either, nor is the production team)
So far, I’ve got two people who are definately (well, […]
