PUT THE CAMERA DOWN

With new ideas and implementing them into our filming while it was taking place we managed to pull ahead and buy ourselves some more time in post.  We knocked out most if not all of the filming we needed to get done.  Our new ideas would evolve more after effects effects but that's what we agreed on doing.  This made the filming a lot more straight forward and we could get all the shots we needed within a few takes.  It's time for us to take everything into post and go from there.  Stay tuned.

TESTING THE BEAST

The green screen has arrived and it's time to start taking some test shots to see how things will work out.  We spent the day tinkering with lighting and angles to achieve our overall image we want to achieve.  Here's a little picture of what went on for the day.  More pictures and information on how were doing will be posted soon.
