check out the breakdown presentation of some of our toughest 3D compositing shots to date for director Matthias Glasner's "This is Love" (Badlands Film, Kinowelt, release 12th November 2009) on the visual effects industry's leading news source fxguidetv: one of them being a 14 second long car crash shot filmed hand held from the back seat of the car. the whole exterior of the car was built as a photo real 3D environment using various techniques and approaches, making jaws drop at IBC Amsterdam this year. fxguide was there, covering our 20 minute presentation:

thanks John! thanks Angie! u rock!

this is love - it's a wrap!

until just one week ago we were shooting "this is love" with badlands film, the latest work of director Matthias Glasner. thanks to everyone at badlands film we are able to show you some behind-the-scenes footage of one of the most complex visual effects shots in the movie. main character Chis is having a car accident - later, after we have done some of our digital magic, it will be actor Jens Albinus sitting behind the steering wheel. the shot was planed down to the smallest detail by our previz department, always refining the shot based on Matthias' ideas before we started principal photography.

Thank you so much Matthias, Jürgen and Lars for letting us be a part of it, Heike and Dennis for the awesome behind-the-scenes video and the entire film crew! U ROCK!
