Short Updates

Work is going swimmingly these days! We're just finishing up our second Milka commercial, which hopefully will either be done this week or early next. Our first spot, which I'm not at liberty to disclose just yet, was approved by the agency and then by Kraft. Yes, Kraft. They own almost everything.

This second commercial has several more shots than the first one, with some different characters! The painters and modellers did an excellent job of creating the creatures in such a short time frame. There are only three compers for the spot, so we'll have ample time to complete the shots. We're getting quite the extended breakouts from our TDs, so we can pretty much change everything in the comp. Our director/visual effects supervisor likes it that way, as do I! It definitely gives more freedom to haphazardly change something. Almost like working on a flame, without the real time feedback, fancy 3d space, awesome tracking, or phenomenal color corrector.

Over the weekend I delved into one of my hobbies. Paintball, this time. Over the summer I've been converting my A5 marker into a G36c. It's taken a while, and there were some slight hitches along the way, but check out the progress over at A5og if you're interested. This week/weekend I'll be finishing it up. It's a unique item for sure. One of a kind.
