BSTB Film goes pro!

I've finally got the ball rolling and started putting my film production company together. With one more year of uni left, I've decided that I want to offer a special effects service to other film makers when I graduate. My service will include the compressed air blood hit effect (as seen on  this blog) and also compositing of CGI muzzle flashes/smoke/sparks etc onto footage. Check out my website below.

Proxy Bomb

I created this track a few months back and figured it would make a suitable theme for a movie. 

The Vigilante Trailer

This is the faux trailer I did for my HND project back in spring 2011.

I shot this on a Panasonic HDC-SD9 and edited it in Adobe Premiere Elements. Visual effects we created in Adobe After Effects.

Animation

The following videos are animations that I made in Adobe After Effects. These were for my Advanced Visual Media Applications module.

Overall, I was pleased with how these turned out but I feel I could have done better with the portal one.

Cinematography Film Assignment

I thought I'd go ahead and post all my film and video work from university. This is a short film I did for my cinematography module back in December 2011. I got a 2:1 for it.  

Back Again

Well it's been something like 4 months since my last post and a year since I first started this blog. I've just finished my third year at University which means I've now got 4 months off. I've got my dissertation to do next year before graduation so I need to think of a specific area of film making to study. I also plan on spending the summer working on my feature film. This film has been in pre-production for 3 years and I've only got a few minutes worth of footage. Hopefully I'll have enough footage for a trailer this summer.

I'm not revealing anything yet but I'll post this screenshot from the opening title sequence. It's probably obvious what genre the film is so I won't say anything else. More updates soon. 

Adrenaline Assault
