Thank you! Hope you have enjoyed the Lobstermen trilogy...there may be more soon!

Very good! Although I have to be honest and say I watched 'Attack of the Lobsterzombies from Transylvania' first and preferred it. It is very interesting to see the evolution of the concept.

On a technically note (if you don't mind me asking)...what editing and effects software was used for this short film?

[goffrey]

Good to hear you can see the evolution, think we have pushed further with each one and what we can do with the green screen and the backgrounds.

They were all edited in Premiere, Lobsterzombies was done in CS4, shot in HDV and the green screen removal was done via Matrox plug ins in Premiere and the art is hand drawn, scanned and then, when needed, turned into layers in Photoshop before imported into Premiere as layers...the whole thing takes about 6 months to complete from shooting!

Thank you for the reply, glad you took my comment as intended.

6 months! Wow, pretty labour intensive then.

Good old Photoshop, I love that program, I might have to upgrade from CS3 Extended. I was guessing Premiere but thought you may have used After Effects as well. I will have to research the "Matrox plug ins" it sounds interesting. Thanks again :o).
