It's been a few months since I left Dinamo and a lot has happened in the meantime. I've updated this site with articles about Grandpa in my Pocket Series 2 and my work on Black Tears, an installation by artist Cecily Brennan. Further articles to come as soon as some of the work is premiered online. Noel Clarke has been terrifically busy and has inked a deal with Icon to develop a slate of projects over the next five years. The feature version of Reign of Death is one of those projects so fingers crossed that we get to make that in the very near future. Nothing's certain in this game but Noel has a drive and ambition that's second to none. Matt Savage, the director, is itching to get started and has been sending me some of the early production art to drool over. My big news of the quarter is that I'm making some new short films. One is already in the can and I'll be filming the other in early May. The premiere will be in late July and I'll be spending the next few months completing the post production and updating this site with lots of pictures and making-of articles. I don't think I'll be able to post the full movie online for a while (in case festivals require some exclusivities) but I'll certainly post clips and breakdowns of the VFX shots. On top of all that, I've now started my own VFX company, Red Wire VFX. Things are still in the embyonic stage but I hope to have it running by the end of the summer to do some really cool jobs. It's been a year since I decided to leave Dinamo and in that time I've done so many things and met so many interesting people that I could never have predicted this career path. Take every opportunity you can - you never know what will happen! |
