Post-Production, Compositing and all that Jazz

Posted in 05_The friend of my friend is a great movie on April 27th, 2011 by refanfilms

Sorry for the lack of news but I have been hard at work on several projects from my classmates.

First, there is of course Death Prophet, which I told you about before. I am working on one of the key scene of the film, where the hero confront Khaos. The scene has been shot on 3 different days and involves a lot of compositing to make it look believable.

Then we have Catch the Clock, from Jaena Sta Ana. Some of you may remember her from my Resident Evil 1.5 Trailer behind the scene videos, because she was the producer assistant on this project. On Catch the Clock, I am doing a lot of cleaning (removing stuffs which were not supposed to be in the shot, like gear or graffiti on a bench) and I am currently working on a timelapse of the main actress.

 

I am also working on Birds of a Feather from Jintathat Jinarat, where I am doing a compositing effect involving an actress shot on a green screen and a TV.

Finaly, I am working on the color correction of Into the Depths, the movie directed my producer, Ashley Doss. More about these two last projects soon.

As you can see, I am pretty busy but don’t worry, I am still working on Patient Zero ;-)

Viscera Film Festival

Posted in 04_Zombies & Stuff on March 28th, 2011 by refanfilms

One last bucket of blood and gore for the road: check out Viscera Film Festival, where “women gain self confidence, knowledge, and growth through the creation of horror films”. What’s not to love?

All right, that was last year festival’s poster but I kinda like its design :P

Resident Evil 15th Anniversary

Posted in 06_Non-Movies related topics on March 22nd, 2011 by refanfilms

15 years ago, a small japanese company call Capcom released a videogame, which became the first-million units sold game of the Playstation gaming console. The name of this game? Biohazard, which became Resident Evil in the westerner countries, due to some copyrights issues in the USA.

15 years later, Resident Evil is a worldwide known franchise, which generated a dozen games, half this number in books, comic-books and movies. Happy Birthday, Resident Evil :-)

15 years ago, I created the first ever French website about Resident Evil, loosely translated by “Will you survive the horror?

15 years, ago, I entered the world of survival-horror.

What did you do, 15 years ago?

Behind the Khaos

Posted in 05_The friend of my friend is a great movie on March 13th, 2011 by refanfilms

I am glad to let you know that Death Prophet, the movie directed-produced-edited by Mychel McGoy, has completed his production and is now entering the post-production stage :)

You can see the official website here (still in construction) and visit the Facebook page for behind the scene videos and lots of pictures.

Death Prophet “is the story of a man who truly has a dark side, Khaos. Khaos is a psycho murder split personality of the main character Christopher. We follow Christopher as he dells with his past, and fights his alter ego, and as Khaos tries to be come the dominant personality”.

On a side note, I have been the Director of Photography of Death Prophet and it as been a lot of fun! I will now work on the visual effects of this impressive movie :) And if you like serial killers stories, you will love Death Prophet!

3D tracking

Posted in 01_Resident Evil Fan Films, 02_Patient Zero on March 7th, 2011 by refanfilms

When I am not spending hours compositing shots, I am spending days tracking shots… so I can composite them! It is even more fun when there are some camera movements involved – and in case you didn’t figure it by yourself, my Director of Photography is crazy about camera movements! ;) So yeah, in these cases, no other solutions but to use a 3D tracker (so the movement of the camera can be tracked in Z space).

And there is nothing better than Boujou to do this kind of job! Ah, looks like the computer is done rendering, let’s import the data into After Effects and start compositing again. See you later, guys :)

Patient Zero is delayed

Posted in 01_Resident Evil Fan Films, 02_Patient Zero on February 24th, 2011 by refanfilms

A quick note to let you know that the release date of Patient Zero has been delayed from June 2011 to Fall 2011.
The reason is that there are more than 50 clips that need to be worked on, to add some visual effects. And this amount of work can’t be done in a couple of months, if you throw in college, work and social life (what is that?).
Sorry about this bad news but as you can see below, it is all for the best :)
