Ian Hubert The Ian Report #485 - Hurrah!


Occasionally I feel like a broken record, but Nate Taylor has yet again delivered a pretty mind-boggling animation. I wish you could see it—so that you could understand I'm not just always saying this—I really do. The physics and kinetic energy are just fantastic. Also, it's rendering out really w… Continue

Ian Hubert The Ian Report #484 - Whelp!

Whelp! Nate Taylor's almost done animating the final shot on the VFX list! It's looking pretty great!

I've been working hard on getting the storyboards set up for the animated intro/outtro. I'm spending a bit more time on it than anticipated, but I'm also arranging everything in 3D spa… Continue

Ian Hubert The Ian Report #483 - Bank Jobs & Getaway Cars

As always, every day that goes by is a day closer to release, and rarely has it felt so palpable!
Well, we may have just gotten bad news regarding sound
design, my landlady says she's going to kick half of us out, and it's raining like a soggy dog.

But beyond that everything's… Continue

Phil McCoy The Producer’s Report #102 - Feelin' Satisfied


Here's Josh Truax as Nebraska Higgins looking like he owns the world during his interrogation by Joint Command Officers. We are feeling some of that same smugitude as we close in on finishing the estimated VFX list, and that will basically happen this week. Pretty cool. Nex

Ian Hubert The Ian Report #482 - Momentum

As always, every day that goes by is a day closer to release, and rarely has it felt so palpable! I'd always assumed that once I neared the end I'd get a crazy second wind (or... 52nd wind), and finish it at a sprint like in a junior high cross-country meet—instead it's the opposite. I'm finding… Continue

Phil McCoy The Producer’s Report #101 - Breath Deep The Heady Fumes of Dogface

Yesterday, I took a little bit of time to listen to the sounds of animals breathing. Sound design is almost upon us and we are uber pleased with the opportunities we are developing to complete this most important aspect in a timely fashion.

Ian Hubert The Ian Report #481 - Exciting Beyond All Comprehension!

Staring at the Excel spreadsheet of all remaining tasks, I'm noticing that over half of them are labeled as "IN PROGRESS"—meaning that if I can complete all 'IN PROGRESS' shots this week, I'll have done over half the work remaining on the VFX list. Meaning it might only take a week from this Satu… Continue

Phil McCoy The Producer’s Report #100

We are exceptionally charged up about the progress Ian and the post-production team has made to complete the remaining shots on the VFX list. There are now less than 20 to do! Amazing!

Ian Hubert The Ian Report #480 - Mechanical Bulls and Digital Doubles

So... the digital double work in this film has been an interesting process [for those who don't know, a digital double is a computer generated replica of a character in the movie, used to do stuff that we couldn't get footage of]. At first, I was planning on keeping it nice and simple and just doi… Continue

Phil McCoy The Producer’s Report #99 - Scrub My Eyes

I have seen the blood of the ages smeared accross the tarmac of the Port of Seattle (my soul). Will I recover from this? No. I don't think so. Will I have taquitos for lunch? Do you sense the ghost of Ian Hubert illuminating my prose? No. We saw some very cool things this week. Done.… Continue

Ian Hubert The Ian Report #479 - Blood!

This week is the epitome of all previous weeks, with one exception: blood. This is the week of blood! Blood flying out of people's backs! Blood splurting out of their chests to splat on the ground! Blood splurting around like people stomping on ketchup packets! 'Blood steam' rising up in… Continue

Nathan McCoy Not 2010 or After!

Not too long ago, well really, quite a long time ago, we sat down and talked about the fact that the visual effects were taking a lot longer than we had originally anticipated. At that point, we decided to get hardcore and really buckle down to get things done - you can see what we committed… Continue

As much as I love The Big Bang Theory, "rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock" is for losers. Real pros play "RPS 25": http://www.umop.com/rps25.htm
