The VFX behind Framestore's Paddington Bear

Nice to see some familiar faces in this featurette! More behind the scenes info over on Framestore's website.




James Horner

Super sad to hear the news about James Horner. He was one of my favorite  composers. His incredible ability to find the musical tread connecting what was on screen to the heart of audience was epic and astonishing. His story was music and his music told some of the greatest stories in film. I personally think Legends of the Fall is a masterpiece as is Braveheart. Amazing. He will be greatly missed.

// Conversation with James Horner (2014)

"I’m keeping track, constantly, of what the heart is supposed to be feeling. That is my primary role.” - James Horner

Edge of Tomorrow - Creating the Mimics




















The Mimic was a beast to animate. Toughest creature I have ever animated. Every shot was unique and presented its own set of challenges. The tentacles had an impressive about of dexterity and detail. The vid shows some examples of the scaling, twisting, growing flexibility of the rig. Doesn't mention the 'hair' tentacles on the head though. We had a combination of animation and animation simulation controls for those.
