Triple Cross Short Film

  • Filed under Videos

  • February 23, 2015

Short film Triple Cross made a few years ago.  I’ve added a shot that at the time I couldn’t do, also some colour correction and improved the sniper scope shot.  The end credits have also been changed a bit and the whole film is now upscaled to  720p.  I would of liked to have redone a few more things but decided to just focus on the things that really stuck out to me.  It was a fun film to make and would like to make another one at some point.

Synopsis: In a grey and sullen backwater of this sceptred isle, two rival gangs are about to make a deal that will make somebody very happy – and make somebody very dead!  The Chavs and the Suits are in a continual territorial war for supremacy.  But when the Suits leaders (Adam Collier & Clayton Everett) make a secret deal with the Chav bosses (Jimmy Wright & Dan Chappell), anything could happen.  Throw into the mix a hidden hit-man (Evan Everett) and you end up with a recipe for mayhem!

A robot created in After Effects with the Element 3Dv2 plugin and the Motion Design 2 Pack.  Taking inspiration from Short Circuit and Wall-E, I used elements from the Motion Design 2 Pack which I duplicated and scaled until it looked right.  The whole robot is on just one Group with all the animation being done with the Aux Channels, the wheels are on Group 2 so they can be animated separately.

Trying out the Instant 4K plugin

I’ve been playing about with the Instant 4K plugin from Red Giant Software.  These are some test images from my first few minutes testing out the plugin.

4K00102 I applied the plugin to some of my video clips of various resolutions. Results can vary depending on what resolution you start with, but at the moment I don’t have a TV or Monitor that can display 4K so I’m unable to see the true results.  So I’m using it as a tool to improve the picture a bit and to do some re-framing.4KChart AnimatedGoing from SD to 4K does improve the picture but it wont be crystal clear and sharp when viewing at 100%.4K00202 4K00302 Noise also gets scaled up to 4K so is more visible even starting with a 1080 picture, using Denoiser II will help with that though.
