No commentsThe Page Hits the Stands!
So after months of waiting, the Creative Cow magazine article I co authored finally hit the proverbial stands today over at http://magazine.creativecow.net/ Look to download the PDF edition of the magazine. and Look on page 32 (of the print edition/and or actual magazine)
Here I discuss the project that I went over in the light-wrap tutorial red workflow, what it’s like going to film school etc.
Enjoy guys..I’m gonna go call my mom so she has some more bragging material.

Editors notes
So after reading the article (yea…I hadn’t actually ever seen what was being published in my name… despite asking) it’s so clear how old some of this is. As is clear from the blog i’m a big nuke fan, in fact every shot was actually comped in nuke, 4 days after I wrote the bulk of what I sent Tim the articles editor, FXPHD started up as did my love for nuke, and I learned the ways of the compositor.
Lines like “but Keylight inside After Effects kills them all, especially in our shots with concrete dust flowing in front of the screen” make me laugh..while kinda true…the finesse work on many of these shots in primate was soo much better.
We never did shoot miniatures, the director kinda helped with that as did deadlines. Wish we had, would have been awesome..but after 3 months of asking for concept drawings for the hills we wanted to shoot..it never happened the result was what you see in the banner 
talks of red builds that are older than moses now..well thats just funny.
