Scripts, Smoke, and Snow

Greetings, one and all! This week life came to play. We started out the week with yet another round of ship detailing, followed by some non-film work. Then the snows hit, and we lost power for a while, which put a hole right in the middle of the week. So, what did we accomplish? Well, first off, the team on Sunday was smaller than usual, and since life sometimes literally beats up on us, they weren't exactly feeling up to physical activity. So, we pulled out the hard copy of a script I'd been working on for a couple years, and we did a reading.

 

It was an unexpected turn, but one that provided a couple hours of productive fun, and gave me a better understanding of the material. All in all, it was a win.

Despite the power outage, we managed to squeeze in a few more pieces of effects work. Everything from changing the speed of a planetary bombardment for greater weight and impact, to animating the smoke from a blast, to smoothing out a digital camera move.

So, a very different week from what we expected, but progress has been made.

Well, that's about all for this week. Until next time!
