Trailer update – almost there

Posted by Chris Taylor on June 8, 2008

It’s been a slow few weeks on the LVJ front, but there’s only one week left on my current job, so when that’s done, I’m back on LVJ full time; at least until the next job comes along anyway. This should mean a steady stream of posts and updates on the movies progress, starting with the completion of the current trailer that is so close we can almost taste it.

I’ve included a handful of images from the new trailer:

This an alien pilot being blown up while dogfighting in a one man/alien fighter.

The grading for the trailer has been done in ‘Color’ primarily by Dave LeMay (LVJ’s DoP) with a handful of shots picked up by myself. Using Color to grade the trailer was a way for us to test the workflow for the grade on the whole movie, without the pressure of using it on a longform project straight out of the gate. Here are a selection of side by side comparisons on where we were and now where we are.

Future updates will include details on some more 3D models being built for the film, specifically, hero details of the mothership and a hero spaceship that features heavily in the final battle of the movie. Also, Mark Shields will be joining the blogging team to provide details on how things are moving regarding the film’s score and soundtrack.
