Small Apartments. 

A crime / comedy you should watch. 

Green Screen came.. I did a real quick (too excited) job setting it up. Not even at it’s full width and it takes up half my living room.. 

Kane still more interested in the Gopro. 

I think this screen cap from the Fast 6 Trailer is why this movie is going to be so brilliant.  A Strathclyde Police Officer leaning out of a speeding vehicle while firing a machine gun.  Anyone living in Scotland, especially Glasgow can appreciate how over-the-top-amazing it is!  Also, later in the trailer they stop a massive fuck off plane from taking off by attaching cars to it. It’s outstanding!

This dolly… $99 

Go buy it, go make your films better.

May surprise some people but I’ve used After Effects CS3 up until now.  Always preferred it to CS4 and CS5. Problems with those that I just don’t get in CS3.  It’s done me good for the last 6 years but it’s starting to feel age, so I’m finally upgrading to CS6 for the projects we’re filming next month. Which require a tonne of VFX.

When there’s alcohol, there’s fights. 

I screen capped these from Stargate Studios Backlot Reel. I feel these before an afters are incredibly useful to see exactly how the composite is achieved. 

For those interested in VFX or film, I recommend checking it out.

VFX is an incredibly powerful tool to help tell stories. Software used is available to the public. So if you’re looking to lift film making limitations on your student films, HIGHLY recommend learning the software. 

They work on some of the most popular shows on Television. If you’re a Walking Dead fan, this stuff will surprise you with what’s real and what’s not. 

Operation GFYN

I shouldn’t really be showing this, supposed to be a secret project. 

However, it’s my 100th post on Tumblr. So needed to leave something special. 

Next project’s a first person (short) film set through out the months of the zombie apocalypse…

The basic idea is to take a Gopro and put it in insane situations which you will hopefully not have to experience. 

Pontypool  Came down at 3:30 in the morning to get ready for the gym when my sister and her friend were watching this film.  I was instantly sucked in to it. I don’t think it’s that well known so thought I’d spread the word. If you like film’s about infections this is one you should definitely check it out. If you’re in to infection films where there’s a tonne of gore and bloodshed then you may not like it. There is hardly any here. It takes place in a radio station while riots are going on outside… so, a lot of dialogue.. but it’s intense dialogue! Unlike Killing them softly.   Couple of things though, at points it does have the “WHY IS SHE DOING THAT!?”, horror film moments, and thought the ending could have been better.  Thought it was braw though. Get your Netflix on and peep that shit.

So pumped for this. 

One thing Michael Bay does brilliantly are Crime / Action / Buddy films.
