So, we're getting there at last! Just over two weeks before filming begins. On top of that, we've got a whole load of creatures ready for animation, and I've sorted out the colour grades and other things needed for us to begin. So the first episode should be online wthin a few months! FINALLY!

Blender!

Mon, 18 Apr 2011 14:06:30 +0100

I've finally got around to learning how to use the amazing free 3d program, Blender. So now, all visual effects will be CGI, not stop motion! So much easier for me!

Raptor gets some skin

Mon, 05 Jul 2010 11:01:16 +0100

I'm currently waiting for the first bit of skin on the raptor to dry. I have stuck it on, it's looking good!

W00t!

Latex-ing: the return

Mon, 05 Jul 2010 08:08:54 +0100

W00t!
Latex-ing has finally worked! Really well!
I've now got 2 chunks of dino skin:

It's a fantastic cast, it holds the texture really well. Now I have to stick it onto Raptor's side...

Aah!

Again, although I added grease, the latex stuck down around the edges. Grrrr... I'll use clay next time.

Latex-ing update

Ahh! The latex stuck to the blu-tac!
Must try again, this time with a layer of grease...

Latex-ing

Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:57:18 +0100

I've painted my skin and head casts with latex and they're now drying. Take a look:

The smallest one is the head. You can't see it clearly because of the angle and size etc. and it won't really matter if it looks a bit shoddy 'cos it's only gonna be on screen a few seconds and then it'll be moving too fast to see clearly. It's just the general shape that matters.
