• STORYBOARDS AND GREEN SCREEN

  So, all the storyboards have been drawn out for the VFX list. Here is just a sample of one.

  In this scene, Michelle kicks a guy out of the window. As he hits the glass, the scene will pause as we show the glass cracks growing outwards before the guy smashes out of the window. Michelle hears some more thugs coming through the corridor and launches herself in the air. The camera follows her up before (like a Junkers Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber) stalls, spins around and dives to follow the thug falling from the 20 story building. As the thug crashes through debris, his blood and debris are flying past the camera before he finally hits a dumster below and the junk hits the camera...cut to next shot. Here is how the storyboards look (Click to Enlarge)

  

  

  

  This is just a small segment of the fight scene. Basically, just for the last three shots on the storyboard, next week, we are beginning placements of buildings around Michelle's apartment and of course, distance between her and the walls, Night and time of day to match Lighting scheme of what we shot and a whole bunch of other stuff.

  Last friday, I've never seen more people tired walking out of the studio before. But their look of satisfaction and the work quality is something everybody will be celebrating about this weekend. I wouldn't ask for anybody else than WWFX to handle The Gene Generation. I'm trying to refrain from posting too much stuff to give away the movie, but I'm literally excited by everything they have done.

  ARGH! I need to get some sleep now!
