Slight nod to the restoration of the Tiki hut at DD! Horay.
Starting work on the final shot of the movie today. It will also feature some Tiki heads… just need to figure out where to squeeze them in.
Been looking forward to this shot for a year now – it’s the second one I boarded so it feels special. We will follow the rebirth of “man” transforming into a whale. Meaning aside – lots of swirling colors, happy trippy stuff. Exactly what we like. It’s good to end on a happy note.

Today was supposed to be all serious and spiritual and whatnot. My old neighbour Milton put a healthy dose of sweetness into the art by requesting breasts. The shot I’m working on today is supposed to be this heart torus thingie… but there’s all this empty space on either side – widescreen. Problem solved, pair of beautiful breasts on either side and we’re done.
Here’s the reference I will use. Creative commons license and everything. Very nice.

Here’s the inspiration for the offering to the Great Spirit shot. It takes place towards the end – where modern man has fallen and has to rebuild himself without the old rejected values.
I was looking for a water type setting where a claw holding a goblet is rising from murky waters. This image had the dramatic grasping going on that I was looking for.
The colors are going to be more maroon and green… puke like… since it’s more of a purging.

Didn’t quite know how this was going to relate to the movie – but it did. Got stuck in a 15 min timeloop yesterday. Sunglasses went missing. Helped some lady jump the fence to escape hospital and get on the subway. There’s some dark places in Vancouver.
Long story short – managed to write the project brief and design a DVD cover with some help from friends.

Here’s a picture that somewhat sums up the whole experience.

but didn’t. So here’s an inspirational picture for a shot that used words like “awakening” to describe it. The rocks and the water are great here.

Worked on the trailer yesterday and currently things are a bit of a mess. Had some help with the concept and it might work. We’ll see today. But here’s a preview of how things are looking now.

Before I disappear for a few days to work on the trailer – here’s a quick peek at what last weeks Despair image ended up looking like.

After a slight runin with a case of egoloss our hero wakes up next to a stream. New reality, new rules. All good.

Here’s a little work in progress from yesterday-

The character wakes up next to a stream.
Disoriented at first but soon realizes that even despair is a temporary state.
