    Rewelacyjne! Widzę że szykuje się prawdziwa produkcja Science-Fiction. Myślę że wraz z "Moon" najlepiej zapowiadające się filmy w tym klimacie.
    Czekam na 36 schodów.

    I was reminded of Pi as well... The sink and the tinitus and self mutilation probably did it :).

    Wow. Hell of a sentance to end with a smiley face.

    Looks really cool though. Like the kafka-esque novelist, Franz Kafka.

    Swietny trailer. Nie moge sie doczekac momentu, w ktorym bedzie mozna obejrzec caly film.

    Wypowiadajac sie jako student produkcji filmowej w Szkocji: 'niezwykle inspirujacy projekt'.

    Widze, ze korzystales z Redrock Micro. Jesli to jest 5D Mk II footage to jestem pod wielkim wrazeniem. Zakup sie oplacil z mojej strony :)

    Pozdrawiam,

    NO!Radical...Light / shading / photography...superb indeed.

    So, am I wrong or am I...if I guess that inspiration was "Brazil"??? I hope it is becouse that kind of artwork is soooo rare.

    Every thumb UP, grzegorz =T

    Awesome trailer! Would love to hear any thoughts on VFX integration with the Canon 5D.
  • grzegorz jonkajtys plus 1 year ago
    Thanks!
    THe fact that 5D outputs H264 and rolling shutter doesn't help, but other then that integration is pretty straight forward. Green screen works well too.

    Really nice work.. How much green screen did you use? Why I'am asking is because I'am doing something similar with green screen and Lightwave for background stuff just curious of you process. What are you using for post process Final Cut or something else? Thanks when you have the time to answer.
