Flare overuse rant

Visual-effects wise I know Total Recall is great, but what's the point of these glamorous shots of actors and matte paintings IF YOU ARE GOING TO COVER THEM WITH FLARES??!!

I was really uncomfortable at the OVERUSE of flares in this movie. Every-single-shot HAD A FLARE! It was distracting as heck that I found myself counting the flares throughout the movie! GOSH!

I bet this production had a special crew set aside to apply Optical Flares on every shot once they came back from the VFX vendor! it's insane!

I watch movies, mind-numbing videos on Youtube, and sleep, the next day, i'm on the same cycle. The Itch The Itch to make something, anything just let that creative juice flow because it feels so dammed up in my head. I know i can do it, we all can. It's the question of when. I found this blog during my student years (i wasn't too good at blogging at the time) but i have an opportunity to use this platform...

CHoo! Choo!

Choo! Choo! you hear that? that's how my week is gonna go by this week! so many awesome assignments to be handed in this week, and trying my best NOT to rush them, but do them in an orderly manner. Also, do you realise when you have lots of work, your desktop and desktop [your desk-top] becomes more and more cluttered? Also here's a shot of my upcoming final project, in pre-vis state [ yes Farida, it's for you] Yep, i managed to sneak in a little of Portal in there. The floursack is basically Chell. It's even dressed like her!
