Rubber Alphabet

Playing around with cloth and the mental ray materials in 3D Studio Max.

Anyway, here’s the image; click for full size.

Fun Bits Intro Concept

An early concept for a Fun Bits intro & explosion exploration. :)

Jordu Schell – “Fred”

Just recently acquired a new sculpture from the incredibly talented Jordu Schell.
I gotta admit, it’s one of the most detailed and lovingly crafted pieces I’ve seen for a long, long time. The attention to detail on the sculpt and painting is second to none !
Rarely have I ever had a piece that creeps me out as much as this character. To the point that I’ve going to have to display it in my studio and not my house, as the blank stare coming from Fred unnerves me.

Don’t believe me ? Take a look at these images I shot.

Schell Sculpture Studio offers the finest creature and character design available anywhere. The studio has been providing concept art in the industry for over ten years, and owner and head designer Jordu Schell has been in the film and television industry since 1987. His talent as a designer and sculptor is world renowned, and his credits include: “Avatar”, “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian”, “300”, “Hellboy”, “Aliens vs. Predator – Requiem”, “Men in Black”, “The Mist”, “Batman Returns”, “Edward Scissorhands”, “Alien: Resurrection”, “The X-Files Movie”, “Predator II”, “Galaxy Quest”, “Evolution”, “Babylon 5-The Series” (on which he designed an emmy award-winning creature make-up and the first fully digital creature for a television series), and many more.

Merry Xmas from Fun Bits

The xmas card I designed for Fun Bits Interactive (FBi) saw the light of day today on Kotaku.

I did have initial concerns about showing Santa having a body cavity search, but I think it’s quite tastefully done. ;)

The Marvellous Mechanical Mouse Organ

Based upon another illustration I did a ways back, I thought it would be nice to animate this in 3DS Max. It took a day to build, texture and animate but another full day to render it. I just wish I had the processing power to add caustics to the scene, but ho hum.

Oh. And if you think the mouse heart is far too big for the scene, that’s because all of this takes place in a shoe box. ;)

Battersea Power Station

I’ve always held a fascination for Battersea Power Station. Such a grand Art Deco building, but also reminiscent of a dead cow lying on it’s back. :)

Would be nice to pluck it up and place it somewhere where it can be enjoyed more. So, I suggest we tie a lot of balloons to it and float it away somewhere nice. By the Sea perhaps ? Battersea-by-the-sea. Click for skegbigness.

8 ways to be a Zombie in an Independent British Movie.

Invasion of the Not Quite Dead

The Indywood Project was originally launched in Jan 2007 by filmmaker and & entrepeneur AD Lane. Straight out of film school, he had a unique idea for a horror film and began marketing it on the internet.

Learning the hard way, Antony found that noone wanted to take a chance on him or his quirky horror film “Invasion of the Not Quite Dead”. Despite no money coming in to make his movie, Antony never gave up hope and worked full time on the project, spending thousands of hours promoting his film and attempting several different ideas to try and raise his budget independently, non of which was successful.

After being brutally attacked in 2008 and left with a broken bone to the back, Antony lost a lot of confidence and his movie project seem over. Early 2009 saw a new Antony back with a passion to see his film made and in May of 2009 he relaunched his Indywood Project with a crazy idea to fan fund his feature, as a huge fan base had grown over the years. So he began selling pre order producer packages giving film fans a chance to contribute financially and get involved during the production.

In 2009 Antony revolutionised the film community with his producer perks idea, taking a real risk. An idea that is now being used all over the world by hundreds of independant filmmakers. Since 2009 his fundraising site has sold close to 600 pre-order producer packages to film fans from 20 different countries, raising over £20,000 showing that fans can bring an independent horror movie to life.

‘Invasion of the Not Quite Dead’ will begin shooting in early 2011 with Hollywood actor Zach Galligan (Gremlins) and is being supported by such legends as Kevin Pollak, Tom Savini, David Hess, Leslie Simpson, Ken Russell, Lee Boardman, Gale Anne Hurd, the band Wheatus who will be doing original music and our very own Jonathan Ross who supported the project by taking a pre order.
