I’ve had a few people ask me to post some sort of breakdown of one of the shots that i’ve worked on for Superman. This is a full CG shot with a bunch of elements… CG water, boat, missle, smoke etc… Here’s a link to the shot, and the flow that put it together. I borrowed this idea from Aruna’s blog, so I hope he doesn’t mind This shot was a bit of a nightmare, because it was completely noodled [...]
So begins another project at work. This is the first time I’ve ever worked on a stereo movie, so i’m learning a lot. Having a shot count that’s double what we normally have is worrying me a little bit, but i’m hoping this project will go a bit smoother than the last one.
I’m a little embarrassed to be posting this, but i’m always up for a little public humiliation. heh. I was on the Big Breakfast, er, Breakfast Television the other day doing a promo for my Superman presentation with New Media Manitoba. I was a little nurvous, and totally blanked and forgot to mention where the presentation was and who was hosting it! DOH! I also said “basically” a total of 11 times in the course of 5 mins. Guh. Oh [...]
So I’ve been going through all my old reels, trying to see if there’s anything I can salvage out of them for my current reel.

Unfortunately, alot of the movies I’ve worked on lately haven’t even been released in theaters yet! lol. In any case, while I was digging through all my old backups, I came across one of the first projects I ever [...]
Working on movies is not a glamorous job. It’s a good work environment, but there are times where you want to give it all up and just work as a welder or some trade where you’re not sitting behind a computer for 12+ hours a day. After all was said and done, when I calculated all the overtime accumulated from this movie, I could take a theoretical 3 and a half months off. That’s 560 or so hours of OT. [...]
Well, I finally saw superman returns yesterday at 9:30 am at the pre-screening at Silver City Polo Park. There were people from work there at 6:30 am to make sure they had good seats. lol. I have to say, that the movie didn’t suck as much as I had thought it might. It was entertaining, but definately on the long side. Cutting RK probably was smart, since if it was in, I don’t think a crazy si-fi opening wouldn’t really [...]
