Afterlife

Yes, it's been a week since I last posted, but it's getting crazy.. Crazy, I tell you. A couple more weeks on The Golden Compass, and then it's off to creating cool stuff for The Mummy!

Every year, Digital Domain hosts an extravagant Halloween bash. This year will prove no different! Unfortunately, i never got a chance to take pictures last time, but hopefully this year I'll be able to snap some photos. Here is what the tickets look like. Don't try to print the image out and take it! There's information on the back that you'll be missing. Like always, costumes are required, so there will definitely be some interesting ones! Last year there were Ghostbusters, Legomen and women, and superheroes. This year I'm thinking there'll be Transformers and Spartans.

I was forwarded a link from a pal, concerning the last film I completed, The Dark Is Rising.. Well, check out how it did at Box Office Mojo. I don't think it's in theatres anymore. Looks like I'll have to catch it on DVD.

Our next challenge for VFXTalk is coming soon. I'm just finishing up the final touches with the moderation crew there, and we'll have something either this week or next. Ya, it's been two months since the last one, but this one will sure to keep everyone interested. Also I'm writing up a bunch for next year, so expect some great challenges then! The official announcement with the partnership of VFXTalk and myself will be coming shortly.

In film news, it sounds like there is an overwhelming chance of a writers strike. The votes came in at a steep 90% for a strike, so we'll see what happens come November 1st. It won't affect us too much in postproduction, yet. All our work is signed for and is ready to be worked on for a summer release. This will affect everyone in production and preproduction for sure.
