The VFX of THE LANDING
Posted in: Animation
It was a tall order turning Rural Australia into Midwest America for THE LANDING, but thanks to a great team of VFX artists, and Warner Bros for leaving a set behind from the 2006 picture SUPERMAN RETURNS, we were able to make it a reality.

We Are Fire
Posted in: Animation
When Champa Pal’s husband was murdered her life fell apart however an encounter with the vigilante Gulabi Gang changed everything. The ‘Gulabi Gang’ is an extraordinary women’s movement formed in 2006 by Sampat Pal in Uttar Pradesh in Northern India to bring justice for women. This region is one of the poorest districts in the country and is marked by a deeply patriarchal culture. The group is popularly known as the Gulabi, or Pink Gang, because the members wear bright pink saris and wield bamboo sticks. The film was produced for Al Jazeera English for their campaign ‘Hear The Human Story’. http://www.aljazeera.com/pressoffice/2014/11/hear-human-story-20141135433755976.html Check out some behind the scenes photos here: http://on.fb.me/1Iqcjvy Production Companies: Dejavu and Grain Media Director / Writer: Orlando von Einsiedel Cinematography: Franklin Dow Film Editor: Miikka Leskinen Composer: Patrick Jonsson Executive Producer: Manasvi Gosalia Executive Producers for Grain Media: Adam Mitchenall & Jon Drever Line Producer: Pria Mundra Assistant Director: Nihit Agarwal Post-Production Manager: Amelia Franklin Assistant Camera: Will Hadley Assistant Producer: Nick Rowley Agency: Memac Ogilvy Dubai Business Director: Tarek Shawki Operations Director: Sean Hart Senior Account Manager: Sandra Henein Account Executive: Nora Nasr Account Executive: John Dayal Executive Creative Director: Ramzi Moutran Associate Creative Director: Dylan Kidson Group Head Senior Art Director: Gary Rolf Junior Art Director: Maram Ashour Junior Copywriter: Waleed Bachnak Senior Graphic Designer: Jesse Bray Graphic Designer: Irfan Ghani Head Of Production: Amin Soltani Junior Producer: Tamara D’Costa Studio Manager: John Ridgeway Assistant Studio Manager: Tarek Bawab Finaliser: Sameer Shirke Traffic manager: Dominic Tundatil Business Director PR: Chuma Goodwin

The Shard is Europe’s tallest building. The Shard’s architect, Renzo Piano is quoted as saying: ‘Being an architect is a very dangerous job, because if you are wrong then of course everybody knows,’. Like any great artist, he is a risk taker, he bears all to more than 375,000 people daily who pass by close to The Shard, via London Bridge Station. I have been fascinated by The Shard, ever since I worked on the London summer Olympics and had it wink at me, temptingly, each morning as I opened my hotel curtains. One day, I knew I would be back ready to time-lapse from the inside of this marvellous structure, from The View From The Shard observation deck, and from street level. I’ve tried to keep things short and sweet with some additional views of London from vertigo-inducing locations. I hope you enjoy it and can one day yourself, visit this amazing crystalline-building.
