One finished, another begins

Gorgeous Knight is finally finished!  The film is going through the final touches as we speak, still no exact ETA when it will be shown, but it's all up to the editors and sound crew to make the final adjustments.  Here's a list of scenes that I worked on for the film, in no particular order.

• Final death scene (stop motion)
• Reunite scene (stop motion)
• Escape scene, final shot (stop motion)
• Where's Gorgeous? Locale zoom in/out animation (street to earth to street)
• Opening Chase scene, Jeep fitted with missiles - CG
• Opening Chase scene, missiles firing and destroying an suv.
• Opening Chase scene, final shot with rubble, debris, smoke and fire (motion tracked)
• Gorgeous Knight opening title sequence

As soon as the film can be viewed online I will post a link to the video as well as times for the vfx that I worked on.

And in other news, I got a call from Manny at Fusion Radio yesterday, very surprised to hear back from him. Fusion has been getting bigger and bigger and they just purchased their next door building to be used as a studio.  And they want me to direct and produce an interview/documentary on the band "The Japanese Popstars", this is something that I've been wanting to do for a looooong time.  Short documentaries with music and digital flare... totally my style!  I've also been wanting an excuse to create a new animated intro for this kind of film, I absolutely love the minimalistic yet sexy look of BBC One's Formula 1 graphics when they first introduce the circuit.  I want to take that and turn it into Fusion style.  Because of the work involved (also will be using all my equipment) they are going to pay me $300 to put it all together.  Cheap I know, but it's a start and better than nothing!

The small problem is that the interview is July 8th, the week after my vacation weekend and right smack in the middle of hopefully finalizing the film "Just Add Water" with Paul.  That will be our 4th film for the Land of Lincoln Credit Union's film contest, and has nothing to do with ancient debates or fancy portals! ;)
