Thank you for posting this. I've been looking forward to this adaption. Any news on when it will air and on what network? Also, is there any way that you could send me some stills of your CGI work on Moby himself? I'm an artist who draws and paints whales and I have done many drawings of Moby Dick over the years. It was the 1956 John Huston film version that inspired me to become a whale artist in the first place.

@dolfinguy53 Thanks for that, I think we would be shot if we posted the images of Moby before we have finished the film. Might have to wait a little longer. I love the idea you're a whale artist, I love the Huston version too, although this one is very different. M

This video went viral on Lome

I'm really looking forward to Eastern Holidays, wohoooo!!! Wanna watch it (esp. bc of GA and bc Moby Dick was a very important part for her role as Dana Scully in the X-Files)!!!

I'm expecting this adaption to be better than the one with Patrick Stewart.

@caspianella Thought that you'd like to know that there is now some "official" footage from "Moby Dick" on TMG's (Tele Munchen Gruppe) main web site, including very brief shots of MD himself. One of the shots looks like the one you worked on with a breaching Moby in between the boats. If you go to their web site, there is a box in the upper right corner that is a trailer for all their recent productions & footage from Moby Dick comes first.

Oh man this looks FANTASTIC!!!! Everything completely accurate! Thanks for posting this. I'm another one dying to watch it. Grew up in a whaling town, read the book 10 or 11 times. This looks like you knocked it out of the park!

Moby Dick is based on the true story of the sinking of the whaleship Essex by an enraged spermwhale far out in the Pacific in November 1820. The survivors had to resort to cannibalism before they were eventually picked up after their ninety-day ordeal.

I heard William Hurt made set hell.

@caspianella I'm not asking you to post any pics where others can see them, I just wanted to see what MD the whale actually looks like, for myself. I'm something of an expert on sperm whale anatomy, and I would have liked to have the chance to work on the show, but found out about it too late to do any good. I tried to post a link to my web site, so you can see my art, but YouTube kept giving me error messages.
