Thats alot of VFX!



Hey Everybody!

Well, things are still moving along well with this little film. I only have 3 green screens left to deal with! We are slowly plugging all the holes with finished shots.

I have also taken a big step and actually counted how many visual effect shots we have in the our 40 min show. This is something I have avoided since the beginning, cause it would have just stressed me out way to much to actually know....buuuttt... Now that we are getting closer to the end..I decided it was time....so give or take a couple.....the grand total is going to be...

175 shots!

Secretly I was hoping we were going to top 200....but I'm OK with not having 25 more shots to deal with!

We have just over 30 left to complete...Of course they are some of the more challenging ones, but its exciting to start to see that glimmer of light at the end of this very long tunnel.

We are still shooting for a late Jan early Feb completion, and so far we are still on target.

Hope all is well with everyone!


till the next post!

Still going, and going, and going...

Hey everyone!

Yes, Enigma is still moving forward...at a fast pace now! I have officially finished my duties on the Golden Compass, and am taking 3 months off of work on finishing this beast. Everything is moving along smoothly. A large majority of the VFX are done, and just have some of the more difficult ones to finish. We are looking at around late Jan for the completion of the film. Then its off to the festivals! and of course, we are going to throw a huge premiere party as well, probably in Feb. We want to have the DVD put together first so we can hand it out at the party.

I'm going to try to update this blog more, Maybe I will even try to post some shots here. The film is looking good, I can't wait to show it to all of you.

Thanks, till the next post...
