The shadow-master



This was a play my sister acted in London. It's at the King's Head Theatre pub, which is quite well known ( a prett well known venue some famous actors have worked there). It's a place where actors kind of tour when they're starting of. Anyway writers of the play have decided to make a film of it. And as my sister is part of the cast and helped write it, I will be able to go down and gets some experiance of filming and post-production (apparently there's a good team working on it). It will be shot somewhere in the countryside over the summer - It's definitely a must for the diary.



Below is a link to a details of the play itself.

Ninja effects

Here's a site worth looking at. Markus Gustafsson is an motion Graphic artist who works mainly with After Effects, he explains that he creates all his imagery in Photoshop and Illustrator then animates in After Effects. These are things I like to do myself and feel I can create rather good imagery at the moment. Though maybe no animate it as good as I'd like to. From this screen shot below you can see the kind of thing I'm referring to. It seems that this artist is pretty successfulll in what he does, thats good to as this is the kind of imagery I'd like to make. So it shows that I'm on the right track.
He also posts tutorial on AETUS , it would be good to get to a level where I could do this, for you get $150 for every successful submission. Though I think that is a long way of.
