Harryhausen90 : Vortex42 - Pursuit - Behind the Scenes

[bluworm]

It's the dawning of a new age in movie-making. The revenge of hand-made effects! I am really awed by your ambitions and your talent.

By the way, Paul; That's a really big chair!

[Vortex42]

@bluworm Thanks! I miss that chair - It's in storage at the moment. :(

keep up the good work - looks great - you should try and work with Duncan Jones 'Moon' he uses models - bring back model-making and matte-painting.

WOW... this looks amazing man. Excellent pitch :) How is it going so far? I saw the test a few months back but didn't think it was for a film. The test looks flawless so I can only imagine what the film will be like...Amazing :)

[Vortex42]

@DigBreamer : Many thanks, Stephen. Making lots of progress... The mould for the creature is now complete, and I will be making it into a finished puppet shortly, at which time I can get stuck into the animation. I'm really glad you are liking it... I understand GameBoyz has just wrapped after a preview shoot? Congrats on that! I loved those scripts, it's one to watch!

How far have you gotten now? Do you have a blog? I'm so pumped to see this movie! You're work on that test shot was amazing!

[Vortex42]

@FandSproduction : Finishing the sculpture this week... It's taken a LONG time to get here. I decided that, to do justice to the project, I should individually sculpt and attach each and every scale/scute on the creature's body. Tomorrow I finish the feet on the hind legs, and the following day I'll complete the face... Then the last step will be to go over and weather the texture a bit... Looking forward to making the mould some time this week.

I just noticed that the creature's roar is the same roar used by the cyclops in the 5th voyage of sinbad trailer! Sounds awesome anyways!

[Vortex42]

@Gragorathegiantsnowb : Yep - That's the roar I created for the Sinbad Trailer. Hadn't gotten round to making any new ones when I made this behind-the-scenes film for my project, so it's made a sneak appearance here too.

@nicolafitch : LoL Kolin - Thanks for checking it out!

[scampshuna]

Well done Paul. looking forward to seeing the end result! The creature you've created looks as good as any I've seen.

Thanks Guys - I need all the support I can get to pull this off. I'm working on my own, so every bit of encouragement means a lot to me... Thankyou!

thats an awesome behind the scenes video, and judgjing from the sculpture i'm guessing its going to be some kind of a dragon? I seriously can't wait to see the finish beast and film!

[EthanBartholomae]

The visuals of Pursuit are incredible! I can't wait to see it.

[FandSproduction]

That was really nice! I can't wait to see the creatures!
