R&D - Shots Showreel
This is a few test shots from our upcoming 2011/12 showreel
So far this year most projects have been under NDA, so we decided over the summer to go out and shoot a reel.
Before we started getting stuck in with tracking, modelling and compositing we did these few test shots to raise a few questions about what we were using and how it would look.
The main purpose behind these shots was not to produce perfect shots (these shots are far from perfect) but to see how the Canon 5D footage handled CG, frame rates, shot size, rolling shutter, tracking, what software for which jobs etc. Over all i'm glad we did this and got a few hiccups out of the way and developed a good pipeline for working.
Showreel 2011/12 is still being worked on and should be out within the next few weeks.

R&D - Between Worlds Ferro Fluid
This piece of R&D was a test project for the top Drum & Bass DJ "Metrik" for Futrebound's label "Viper".
We put animation aside for a while and went down the route of filming FerroFluid. Using some industrial strength magnets we manipulated the fluid in a petri dish whilst filming with a macro lens.
This was soooooo much fun. We're pretty pleased with the results and its opened a lot of ideas up to combine the footage using Realflow.
This project will continue in to the new year with a full length track combined with CG elements.

R&D - Wave Simulation
Building up a test wave simulation for huge VFX shot, 4k output. 100,000 particles in this low rez version.
Once i'm happy with this i'll start again with real geometry and shoreline.
Shot is part of a feature film out later this year.
