Beauty Approximations

The shopping cart sequence is followed by the camera flying out of a city. I've cleared this part up a bit. The look will be stereoptyped a'la sim city where I put out arrows and facts on the different elements that literally points out how much oil they need. For instance, farmland->food production 60%, residential buildings ->electricity 20%(?), a road with cars->transport (80%) and ending with airplane-> flight 100% which then will trigger the final. Maby that doesn't make any sense but here's the previz .

Another article on Stardust that mentions my stuff. Kinda the same words as the other one, intresting because it's not true. There's no "target driven" stuff in Stardust, I only put a lot of effort in making it look like that. The first film that will have a proper target driven fluid simulation of this type will be out in a film next year, that stuff will kick my effect in the behind pretty hard so I enjoy this while it last. I wrote a piece here about the technology behind this development but I don't know what's legal and what's not so I leave that for now.

Updated look on the world map. Just gonna introduce some hand made work in it and then I call it done. More then half way though and yes it's smaller then the real thing.

For the second time I gave Johnny Hellquist, aka DJ Tubkatt, some visual suport for his Umea based club "Daliga Gatan". Link to video .

Green is before peak oil red is after. I think this tells the story well and it will substitute my plan for export/import switch. I will put a gradient color on the one who's about to change as I am to stop the time at 2007. I will write some stuff on data certainty but only post it on a webpage as I generally don't prioritize the academic details here. I also got a nasty deadline taking shape. What's coming after this clip is a boat from west to middle east to get oil. In the real world the US navy is getting closer a strike on Iran by each day -a to good paralell to miss for a director.

Me and my effect in Stardust was mentioned in a magazine the other week. Link. I didn't feel like posting it here as this blogg is about my art which I try to clear from narcissism. I do however feel that these stuff belongs to my artistic history and so I will keep it here anyway.
