I am in the final days of creating The Sphere, and like any worthwhile project, it is challenging to the end.

The Picture itself, along with the color grade, is largely done-barring a few VFX tweaks of minor detail.

Sound design and scoring will follow, however that will require a week to complete, at most.

The credit sequence is the real last piece of the puzzle. I’ve locked all the shot designs, and it’s down to finessing the comps and completing the renders.

One of my harder shots to create, a sublimating comet complete with rocky core, required over a week to get the proper fluid sim generated- and will now take several days to render the final elements for compositing.

That being said, the hard work is complete. The models and texture maps–all designed and painted. The shots are all just waiting in the queue for their turn at rendering.

I expect The Sphere to picture lock by next week, meaning The Sphere will be ready right in time for Halloween.

…and I can’t wait to share it with you.
