Flight Club

Two men and a child's toy. What could possibly go wrong?

A lot as it turns out.

We convened at a local park to shoot some pretty simple footage for another viral armed with a camera and this bad boy:

We naively assumed that a remote control plane would actually fly and be remotely controllable but clearly that's a stupid assumption. It soon turned out that getting the thing airborne was really difficult and keeping it in the air was nigh on bloody impossible.

After almost three hours of repeatedly recreating the opening scene from Lost in miniature and being laughed at by passing joggers, dog walkers and park based maniacs she finally flew - YES! -  only to land up in the nearest tree - NO!

Back to the drawing board.

Boys With Toys

It's for a thing.

Honest.

You Spin Me Round

If you think you're sick of seeing endless versions of this godforsaken flying saucer, think how I feel.

Still, nice to see it in motion.



Promise I won't bother you about it until the viral itself is finished.  

Telekinetic Josh

So ... we made this little viral as a quick palette cleanser between bouts of UFO related misery.





Not exactly "Carrie" but it only took a couple of hours from start to finish.

Taking a short break from my UFO woes to do some tests with the steadfast Josh Topp:

This is for a different viral - it involves a fork. 

Buttons

Somewhere amongst these buttons...



or these...



or indeed these...



is the button (or combination of buttons) that stops my lovely flying saucer becoming F**KING INVISIBLE when I try and put it into the footage where it's supposed to be.

And yes I have tried turning it on and off again.

Bah.

Crinkly Bottom

Adding bits of texturing now.



The End is in sight.
