The Legend of Arad

It has been a long time since we have updated the gallery page.

I put 7 images there. Some of them are still work in progress. I will put more very soon.

Also before August arrives, I plan to put a teaser on website.

These days I get a lot of messages from artists who are wondering if there are still positions left in our post production. It is true that the crew page on the website has around 150 people there and that is a big number for a11 minute film already. But the answer is yes, we are still recruiting. So please get in touch with me if you are interested in joining us.

Thanks,

It is 3 years since I came to the US.
One and a half year since I came up with Arad story.
One year since me and Kevin Lipnos wrote down the script.
9 month since we shot the film.
6 month since we started post production and visual effects.
And I'm walking the USC graduation ceremony in less than 2 weeks.
Since we started the project around 200 people have been a part of project in either production or post-production.
There have been 3 instances of VFX artists staying at hospital that I know of. And there is going to be 3 marriages of team members in the next few month that I know of.
The movie has not even finished and I'm looking back. I think nostalgia is one of the deepest feelings and if you create it at the end of your film, people are going to watch it again and again. 11 minutes of Arad film was too short to bring it up. Maybe in future...

Hello,

Initially we had estimated middle of May for picture lock of the project but it seems impossible to make it by that time. We have no choice but to extend it till August.

We had an Effects shoot for Arad yesterday and I'm putting some of the images here. It was a great opportunity to play with some real elements. Last year when we started the project, I had imagined all effects will be CG but now we are using so many real effects. Hopefully nobody will find out which ones are CG and which ones real in the end.
