I still have a blog?

Wasn’t I supposed to blog every day? Or at least every day I worked on the student film project? Shoot, I keep forgetting. Well, there are actually a reason or two for my absence this time. Firstly, I’ve been ill, still am after a manor of fashion. The same illness has been bothering most of [...]

An extremely early landscape test

My job during the weekend was to create a test for the opening credits/establishing shot which is a rip-off from The Day After Tomorrow. Normally, I would list what still needs to be done in the shot, but since this is such an early test, I’ll sum it up in one word: Everything! We’re not even sure [...]
