SPLATTERKIST 10 Years Ago!

SPLATTERKIST 10 YEARS OLD!

It’s now been 10 years since the first MorseCode Productions short film was made.  Made back in 2007 for a short film competition, which had to be no more than 5 minutes long and include a cow!  It didn’t win but was a lot of fun to make for everyone involved, which gave us the need to make more short films, some of which won a couple of awards.  As it’s been 10 years I thought I would make a poster for the occasion.

Making a New short film

Making a new short film, it’s called “Spirit of the Woods”.  It’s about three friends that visit Sham Castle and get sent to a dimension, where in the woods a ghost hunts them for there soul.

The Newton plug-in was used to create the grains of sand falling down. The Hour Glass was made up of simple objects and repeated masks in Element 3D.

The tunnels are made with the Tao circle and the repeater.  Different textures and changes to the fractal deform to create different looking tunnels.  The camera and the lights are offset and parented to a centre null.

Here is some original music made by Jake South titled Poly-Tune with animations in time to the music.  I used Trapcode Sound Keys to generate key frames to drive some of the values of the plug-ins Trapcode Tao, Trapcode Mir, and Element 3D.

 

Rainbow Woods

Here is a short video of Rainbow Woods in Bath.  I used my DSLR for the timelapse and a Gopro Hero 3+ Black on a gimbal for some smooth shots. Unfortunately the Gopro has some exposure and colour problems now.  So I had to pick and choose the shots that didn’t go too funny and applied RE:Vision Effects Match Color which helped in Premiere Pro.  The photos for the timelapse were edited in Lightroom then brought into After Effects to scale them down and animate.
