Ugh, I can’t believe I have not posted the blog in ages. Me and Keith have been busting our asses to get the Music Video up and running. Things are happening, but with the dateline so close, the stress begins.
Well, just to catch up on things. The pre-visualisation for the Visual FX has been done. So it will take another 4 months of rendering out the textures, adding in elements and correcting gamma .etc. for the final product. This, and we are doing the main scans for the VFX team to work on now. Each frame is approx 16mb. So since we have 24 frames a second, the file size for the movie really adds up really quick. But after months of working on low res compressed footage, it was really nice to see The Gene Generation in all its high res glory (and a million mistakes I made as well).
Here is a previs for one of the shots in the movie. Previs is the process of using simple blocks to time the camera movement and framing for the actual Visual FX. Soon after the process, when I ok everything, the VFX Team will begin to replace the previs with the actual elements of the movie. Here, you can see a low res version of the Aereann Flyer
While we are doing the previs, another team will be building the actual Aereann Flyer and working with me on animating it’s elements. Here is an old copy I have of the Aereann Flyer, still unfinished at this point. But it will give you a good idea of what it will look like in finished details.
Building this thing can be a real time eater. As you can see, the ship is made out of hundreds and thousands of little squares. Each square has to be put together till a coherent shape like the Aereann Flyer comes out. I have troubles making a sphere using squares and these guys are building complex ships like this. *shakes head*
So while the team finishes up on the VFX while I move on the Sound Department, Here’s a little picture from everybody saying thanks for being with us. Next up, me and Lisa Fowle, my talented god-sister who has worked with me on sound for all my films this will be fun
