Emmys and Letters

Well, it looks like the Emmys went pretty well on Saturday night! It was the creative arts section of the awards, where the Special Visual Effects award was presented. The winners were Rome: The Stolen Eagle for series, and The Triangle for miniseries. Congratulations guys!

Last week was also the final week of Flags of our Fathers.. We completed close to 450 shots, and I was on the show for the last five months. This week we start the second movie, Letters from Iwo Jima, which was changed from Red Sun, Black Sand. While the shot count is not as high as Flags, we do have a significant amount of work to complete before our two month deadline. We lost a couple compositors (of which I thought I would be one) to either other studios, fatigue, or vacation.
