Good lawd, what a ride. It’s November now and peddle to the metal. Today I am going to finish revisions on the team and tasks document. Roto artists are providing a constant flow of results. Money is definitely thinning out but we’ll find a way.
Roto is beautiful. To be able to isolate whole characters and have my way with them. So much better than greenscreen because the actors are someplace. Sure imagination is good, but if they’re “processing power” is dedicated to the interplay of the moment rather than imagining sets and props, shouldn’t that theoretically yield more authentic presence? Again taking a page from the Nostromo set and Ripley’s merciless immersions on the original Alien.
So here’s a little fun test of Joe as hologram. I am also thinking about playing around with depth of field. Reshooting the shot in post, only $1 / frame. :)
