"Realtime" Landscape Rendering

The director's vision dictates the way you work. Following this credo, Norman and me did aerial plate shooting over Brandenburg Germany to acquire landscape and cloud structures for "Doctor's Diary" (Polyphon). It was one of these days, when you're happy to be in film and doing visual effects. We felt a bit like Howard Hughes waiting for the perfect clouds. And we were so lucky to really get awesome images, when the rain clouds of the last days were just disappearing to let the sun come out. I'll post some images as soon as I've finished my private move. Many props to Tyler Kehl here for organising this and Jerry C. Gordon our "Cessna" Operator ;)

Philips 21:9 - Carousel

How cool is that:

Amazing work, amazing cinematic design and still no update, how and who did it. I bet the clowns are puppets and a lot of waxworks were made. CG extensions for the frozen movement parts. Perhaps a few wires for weapons freezing in the air. But perhaps that's only the way I would plan it. So whoever did this - give us a signal!

PS: Reminds me of that really cool piece:
