Empire of the Fun

I may not have been busy recently (I have actually, I've been writing - honest) but Peeder Jigson has been flat out hectic.

Here he is being interviewed in Emipire Magazine.




Yes THE Empire magazine. Me and James Bachman were as surprised as anyone.

I'll stick a proper link up as soon as one appears.

Gallo's Humour

Seeing as I've been so remiss posting anything I thought I'd draw your attention to this:



It's a great interview with George "Midnight Run" Gallo and if you're a writer you can watch it and call it work.

Result.

Out Of It

I have been writing, honest! - a spec script - not even the thing that the tests below are for but I shall return soon.

Road Worrier

Yet more tests to make sure I can make things stay in one place while the camera's moving.

This time, walking down a frickin' road! I bet even Peter Jackson struggles with this. Do you see anybody walking through nondescript streets in South London in Lord of the Rings? No. That's because he can't handle it!.

See that badly lit, fake-ass looking car? It stays in one place.



Few more tests to go, then I should probably write something.

Kernel Of An Idea

Forgot to mention: The latest Peeder Jigson video will be showing at the Kernel Club tonight along with other shorts, with live comedy from friend of Lord Tunley's Will Andrews. It's at the Roxy Bar and Screen.

Attack the Blocks

I know you're thrilled by these motion tracking tests but look: this one has objects that cast shadows AND (crucially) the camera goes round a corner



The blocks only slide a tiny amount, barely noticable.

Please contain your excitement.

I Should Get Out More

What's wrong with this clip of a chess set?



Apart from the kids' toys and homework...

Yes, one of the chess pieces is not really there. I'm getting better at this motion tracking malarkey (mostly by making the movement in the shots easier and easier).

Mouthbreathing spods take note: I'm still using Blender and PFTrack but thinking of switching and trying something else.
