Mortus illumina VFX update 3

I have no idea, what exactly is going on this picture, but it is all good stuff.  There were a couple of delays in January. One of them was do with continuity. We realised we were missing a reverse shot/s on one of the VFX sequence (pictured) so we had to arrange to get that sequence captured for the VFX. Then the second, in this high tech digital age, we had a very old school problem.

Finding the time free, when both myself and the person who was capturing the footage could get together.(working off of tapes here- and with the history of the making of Mortus Illumina, I am very reluctant to let these tapes  out of my sight).  This was mainly down to myself being messed about with some meeting dates in  London, which never happened - plus the snow.  We got there in the end, and the tapes were captured and sent off to the VFX guys.

This morning, I got the draft cuts through from the VFX guys on the complete sequence, which I have given the thumbs up to.

Everything else is green, so soon the sound scoring for the film should begin shortly...

Mortus Illumina VFX update 2.

To the cast and crew of the chapel shoot ,remember the fourth day of filming when we did the evil sequence ?

We were armed with  all the latest low budget special FX know how ...

Including invisible thread , talcum powder

And of course the infamous burning bible which  was ignited from a car battery , took ages to light and you can see it action in the trailer here

It was a tough nights shooting and everyone chipped in 

All in all , a good all round effort from cast and crew, however the Visual FX guys looked at our evil sequence and laughed! Especially at the book bursting into flames and cried Rubbish! They then said give us your footage and hummed a bit and mmmmed a bit and did what ever VFX guys do and then came back with "This is how you do something bursting into flames"

All sequences are now going into the final render and sound design and scoring should be starting in January
