Whip Cracks, Power Axes, and Breaking the Edit

Greetings, one and all! Wow, where did the week go…? It feels like just yesterday that I was writing the blog for last week. In retrospect I can see everything we did, it’s just that initially it’s all a blur.


The week started off with finding sound for the big chain lightning effect, then manipulating it to match the timing. On top of things like actual electrical arcs, you can also hear things like whip cracks in the final edit if you really listen.
Next up we went through a series of renders as we tried to finesse the edit in a few places to make things work a little better. Ah, the joys of breaking with your time-tested production pipeline because of a deadline… you end up with four times more work.

Lastly, the team was back again after the holiday, and choreographed a fight scene that fuses a bit of the past and future…






Everyone seemed to be having fun, and at least two of the stunties declared their bit to be “the best,” so I think that’s a win.

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