Its getting COLD in the garage as another winter starts to makes its way into the studio.....I have been making alot of progress on the last Fight sequence but its a Monster....here is a pic from the shoot.
I am at about 710 frames and they are battleing their hearts out....I'm very proud to say that this shoot has finally started to show some of that MAGIC....that Ive been waiting for...cant wait to share it.
so...
1rst week of GLD on the market and thanks so much for all the Super KIND emails and personal touches you have shared with us in wrapping up this journey....
Shel Has been sending out DVD's - Gerald replacement heads- Storyboard panels... all week long. So if you havn't recieved yours yet It's in the mail.
we feel so gratefull-blessed to internet know all you guys....
...we are going to be adding a cople of extra special feature videos that we didnt put on the DVD{space issues} for you guys in the next couple of posts....just for fun and education ....so keep an eye out.
for now....here is the sneek peek video I put up of Gerald....just to show some of you a taste of the behind the scenes DVD...this is Geralds early development .
As for ANIMATION....
Here is fight scene MASTER shot 2 which I skipped over the last time I posted{I posted fight 1 and Fight 3}....this is just another in the back and forth battle between the 2 stars of our film.
as you can see its another wire festival....lots of removing but so very cool when they are moving without strings. This was another Hard one to shoot as far as making the puppets perform but it turned out fairly well.
I started a new Dober Maquette - just to have for myself and to use as a professional development piece. I do plan to send it to our investor and friends who worked on the film at some point . I will also be offering it up after the production is over as a collectable.
this is early blocking but it will be pretty cool when its done....He will be holding his pilot helmut.
I will be doing one for flea as well....so we will have a full set.
again guys.....wishing you all thanks from or deepest hearts.
Tricks of the week- Monkeys in the house- Trapeeze Launching from the stairz..I'm such a proud DAD!!!
