Not Quite The Budget Of Transformers

'Life is a lot like jazz; it's best when you improvise.' - George Gershwin


And so we did.

While working on a pitch over the past weekend, we needed some background plate footage for two VFX tests. And so an animator (Gavin) kneeling on a skateboard became our dolly. After many crashes and a lot of laughs, we replaced it with a kneeling-posture-chair, pushed around by an editor and animator (Jaco and Kobus) underneath a nearby bridge. State of the art stuff indeed.

A guy with a camera on a chair, being pushed around by two other guys, filming a blank wall across the street.

Yes, people did stare.
