Brad continues to design all the effects shots for our short The Sphere. This is a shot from the moon. It looks incredibly real, and from this vantage point, the viewer will see the Sphere as it flies towards the surface. As Brad creates these effects, I get to see it go through every […]
We are currently consumed with projects in post. There is a sizzle reel we are cutting that we plan to pitch soon for a reality show we’ve been working on for months as one of our many projects. The fire has set us back immensely on many of our current projects. Playground is nearly finished […]
This is the latest still from The Sphere of Mercury in front of the sun. Brad did a complete render on the film yesterday and is now doing notes and completing the last effects for the film. This is the most difficult effect to build as it will include a spaceship. In the meantime, […]
Since most of the shots on The Sphere are special effects shots, every frame has to be created and that takes an incredible amount of time–sometimes upwards of 17 hours! You have to really love effects to want to do them. It takes an amazing amount of patience. I find writing can be the same way. […]
Brad’s been putting all his time into our short film The Sphere. It’s heavy on the special effects which he’s designed from scratch, and it looks awesome! It should be ready to post in a couple weeks.
The revision stage for any script always seems endless. As soon as you finish revising, it’s time to read again and before you know it, you’re changing, tinkering, exploring new story points. It’s so much fun because you’re spending time with characters you love, but before you know it, the whole day’s gone and you’re […]
This morning I pitched a feature idea to my husband that could be shot relatively soon entirely on a green screen stage. He liked the idea, even though post would take a significant amount of time to complete because it would require a full background composite on most shots, as well as many 3-D environment […]
As you know, we just acquired the newly released Blackmagic 4K camera and are testing out it’s prowess on three shorts. Catharsis is in the AVID now waiting to be cut, and Watching is our next short to shoot. At this point, we have one last location to secure before we can move forward. The […]
These are two more effects Brad designed for our short film The Sphere using Cinema 4D. My husband is so talented, and it’s amazing to see him work. He kicks out these effects in no time and loves doing it too. If you need special effects for your project, send him an email at blinkingdogproductions@gmail.com […]
It takes a ton of work to bake out one special effect. Brad is a master at it, and he’s been completing two of our shorts that are special effects heavy. One is The Sphere. Here are two of the latest special effects shots from the film. I’ve been spending most of my time […]
