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 […]

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, […]

I’ve been a little disorganised (actually, that should read “busy”) this week, so I haven’t had the time to get the footage from The Last Act 2 (that’s the very low-budget bullet-time shot) ready for today’s breakdown, so I’m going to run through Enter The Zombie instead…

It’s wednesday (things have been going so quickly recently!), so that means it’s time for another episode of Roy’s Odyssey VFX prep thoughts….
I’m going to leave the opening sequence alone for now, as I’d like to have more of a chat with the production team before figuring out exactly what we’re going to have to […]

What’s it about?
It’s an action/thriller short about a hit-man who, while on […]

I spoke last week about this new project I’m going to be working on, andmentioned that there were four (so far) main sequences that I would be working on.
Every wednesday, for the next four weeks, I’m going to run through, in more detail, what I expect to have to do for each sequence, and how […]

I mentioned yesterday that the main purpose of this blog was to talk about a short film that I’ve asked to do the VFX on…. So I thought I’d give you a brief run-down of the film and the work that I’m expecting to be doing on it….
The film itself is called Roy’s Odyssey (temp […]
