Under the Bridge

Well, the blog is finally back! We haven't been idle though...After many long and hard decisions our film is settling down at the six minute mark and is as lean as we can get in animatic form. We have a team of animators working classically, a 3d department in place and we begin assist and colour next week. Here's a sneak preview of one of the 98 secnes of 'Reflections'. It's an establishing shot under the Queen's Expressway ( a little artistic licence with the Greenwich sushi bar!) on a rainy night in the winter of 2002. In the final composit, Hasan and Dorit will shelter from the sleet under the bridge while a train thunders overhead. Background art by Ray Forkan, After Effects by Katja Schumann. We're working on a teaser in house so watch this space for more of the same!

Brooklyn

Everything here is a photo op. You put the camera down for two seconds and you miss something. Since I got here I've mostly been in Brooklyn staying with Shivers, but been downtown in Manhattan and out to Hoboken N.J. as well. Was pretty fried yesterday, but happy with some impromptu shots I got just buzzing about town. Today I'm going to head out the East Village to start looking for Dorit and Hassan's hangouts, and whatever texture comes my way in the meantime.
