Organizational Things

Dang.  Ethan beat me to the first post.

Anyways, as you probably figured out, this is the Owned FX Blog.  I want everyone to use this blog to post and store reference and post progress on your FX.

A couple organizational things:
  • When you post, please tag your post with your: name and what it is.  (E.g. your effect progress, reference, other, etc.)
  •  I want everyone to be posting your fx progress and when you finish, you're final fx.  
    • This way, other members of the FX team can see what awesome stuff you're doing and you can also use each other's effects as reference.  (This is especially important when it comes to keeping consistency for the character's effects, like all of Garjin's smokey fire fx)  
      • Going along with this, if you see someone is working on an effect that is closely related to yours and its looking totally different from what you have, you know to get in touch with them and figure something out, so that we keep consistency throughout the film.
    • This also lets other people who aren't on the FX team see what awesome stuff we're doing.
  • Also, we can use this blog to collaborate when we're not all in the lab without starting a huge email chain. 
  • Make sure you are all FOLLOWING the blog, not just contributing to it.  You need to follow it to see the updates as they happen.

That's all I can think of for now but expect more posts from me.

Happy VFXing!
