I know it’s been a little quiet this week - I’d like to apologise for that - things have been changing around a bit at work for me recently, and I’m also moving house this weekend (and so will probably be internet-less at home for a bit… I’ll still be keeping things updated on here, […]

Well, the shoot yesterday went well, except for a couple of small issues….
The plan was to go and get two shots (things changed since my last post on this), that we could use to develop the look of the lasers from the two characters in the opening scene. We decided to go for dynamic shots […]

We’re (planning on) doing a bit of shooting this weekend, to start getting the style for the lasers planned out. I’m planning on shooting three things:

Long shot of person (to give an idea of what the lasers will look like from a distance)
Close shot of person’s head (for the laser coming out of the eyes)
Close […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
