I hope you like it!

Rough Fight work in progress!

It's coming along very slowly, but I think it looks pretty darn cool. I still have a few places to fix shots- the robot getting splattered and some other shots liek that as well as placement and positioning and backgrounds. But the exciting thing is that it looks pretty nice.

An experiment with type

I'm playing around with visual cues to let the audience know there's audio happening. It's been interesting. I'll also be showing some "thoughts" in an upcoming scene- We'll see how that plays out.

The big hump.

This is the shot that I've spent the most time on, mainly because I wasn't sure how I was going to pull it off. I had the original background image that I cleaned up, but I wanted the camera to reveal how big the Hypatia really is. After adding all the bunting and getting some needed advice from my friend Mark, I was able to come up with something I'm pretty proud of. I also really like the birds- they really give the scene some kinetics that make it feel more alive and not just a flat picture.

How would you like your own personal blimp?

This is a test I did to see how well I could blend a live action shot I did with an actress/steampunk named Cherie Savoie and the blimp I made for the first establishing shot of Boston. I think it turned out pretty well- Although at four minutes a frame, the sequence took 24 hours to complete. I would like to add a little rock and ease that stop a little more, but as a test, I think this looks awesome.
