I'll be MIA for a few months (I hope, or at least if all goes well)
Just work stuff, nothing to worry about.
I'll continue to post stuff when I can, but it'll likely be sporadic.
Consider yourselves warned! Bwahahahahahaha!
Overly dramatic, check. Vague, check.
That is all.

He will be missed
Stan Winston has passed away at the age of 62.
A sad day for the FX and entertainment industry as one of the greats has been lost.
My condolences to family and friends.

another day, another shoot
Today we shot some footage of the narrator, and his encounter with Jean Claude.
Well, I was snapping BTS pics when I could, and wound up with this one.
Now, being that I was just snapping and quickly glancing at the shots on the small LCD monitor I didn't actually catch this at the time. Since I'm a geeky fanboy sometimes as soon as I saw this after downloading the pics I just KNEW what it was going to become when I was done.
So, without further ado, I present...
The tribute poster made from the above. This was not condoned by the production, it's just a goof based on the shot I took. Kyle had his head just barely out of whack for it to be a perfect match, had he turned about an inch to his right the images would be "dead" on.
Anyway, besides that the shoot was OK. We had some storms roll through and a water issue that delayed the start a little bit. I'm uploading the shots to my site right now. Just head here and click on Jean Claude to see some more BTS stuff.

Jean Claude The Gumming Zombie
I haven't updated much here, but over on my site I added a whole bunch of behind the scenes shots.
Where's the time go?
Well, things keep on moving along.
As promised on myspace... some test footage of an arm gag for Jean Claude.
This past weekend was a big shoot with all kinds of zombies and a few gags, including the above if I could have got it working right again. The thing worked, but I had to change a couple things to make it work for the shot, at which point it ceased working correctly. It's OK, the way we did it looks just fine and actually worked out better anyway, so I'm not too disappointed by it.
Another one of the gags involved a woman being drug off and her fingers bleeding as she scratches at the pavement. Here's the rig I whipped up for that from things on hand.
The thin, 1/16" ID, tubes run down the bottom of the fingers. An air can filled with blood was pressurized and hitting the gray button while holding it upside down would send blood shooting out onto the pavement. There was also chalk glued to the actresses' fingertips under fake nails that was supposed to look like her nails grinding away, when it ran out the blood was to flow. Well, priming the tubes blood got on the chalk and ruined that effect. Oh well, at least the blood worked.
Besides that there were bloody bod parts and lizards and zombies running all over the place. Beautiful day with sun and no rain, unlike the day I shot the arm tests where it was in the mid low high 40s. Got a few great shots, and I'm happy if the director and the rest of the crew is happy.
In other news, working on a bunch of self adhesive wounds and may have a lifecasting marathon this weekend for another project. I'll sneak a shot or two of the wound test applications for ya.
