practical effects

So, I’m not a handyman by any stretch of the imagination. My comfort zone is seated squarely in a world where you can just hit undo if you get yourself into a pickle. You have to keep this in mind in order to fully appreciate the situation I found myself in last fall during the pre-production phase of my science fiction short.

yo it's late! here are 6 visual effects clips that I've done this week.(10 megs, divx) Included here is the expanded scene of the headshot posted earlier this week. more info later!!

Here's an animated gif for you to help you decide if 10 megs is worth the download (is it? oh please)

Hey all,

just got the issue in the mail! August issue of Student Filmmakers has a 5 page spread on Deployment Strategy.

While not technically a student film, our movie has been of great interest to aspiring filmmakers and has served (so I've heard) as a testiment to what can be done with enough energy and drive.

Hey dudes, here's episode 2 of our ongoing video blog series! In this episode we meet actor, Einar Gunnar, and the team of GornFX who've been tasked with tackling all the practical effects work for the film. We'll see these guy again in future episodes too. Enjoy!!

Behold the melting Smurf man!! Actually, it's our actor, Einar Gunnar, who's playing the diplomat. In this post, we're documenting Part I of how me make a mold of his head (only to completely destroy it later!!). When done, the mold will have blood, guts, and maybe- if we're all very good- some cow's brain for luck!! Click to see our pics...

hey all, had a productive weekend.


Friday Spent my friday night in a cold, dark, abandoned factory spray painting lockers black for this weekend's shoot. (note to self: spray painting for 2 hours straight makes your index finger numb for 3 days straight)


Saturday The costumes arrived in the mail and the actors at Saturday's rehearsal managed to try them on and they look great! (These are the SWAT BDU's I'm talking about. Battle Dress Uniforms, ok?!)
