Allan McKay 2013 Reel

The Well known and well renowned Allan McKay releases his latest VFX reel for 2013 with bits and bobs that he has been involved in over the part year or two. Some great particle effects from the God of War spot as well as some fantastic Transformers VFX in there for good measure. This accomplished VFX supervisor and teacher has been at the top end of our industry for going on 10 years! I remember flicking through hios stuff before he completed teh Blade VFX and thinking this stuff looks great, it stands up well even now! Well Done..

TRAILER (ish) - Prometheus, how much do you trust Ridley Scott

Well, I blogged about a Prometheus Trailer the other month, and yes, it looks amazing! I have no doubt it will be brilliant. But, do we really need these pointless run up "featurette's"? They are dull and utterly self promoting, I mean, have a watch, see what you think.

TRAILER - Wrath of the Titans

This looks ridiculous! I love CG and VFX, but not when the film is essentially based on it!

Well, What do you expect for the sequel to Clash of the Titans

FILM - Immortals CG and VFX by Tippett

Nice look into the working process of Tippett here for their work on the new CG "300" esq film Immortals. Not only do I like the way they have produced their effects and the detail they have added to the process, I also admire the "making of" video, I think it has been done in a smooth, fluid way that allows the viewer to see all stages without being dragged from one shot to another. I well thought out reel!
