Comment on The Arms Race Escalation shoot by Philip David Wesson

Simon,
I’m really excited to see how you guys execute this. The short itself was a huge inspiration for me to create, and I’m sure that the webseries will blow me away! As someone who wants to produce a web series as well, I can’t wait to see 1) your final project, and 2) as much BTS as possible. Any chance of an article or two about the production side of producing? I know that there are a few posts on the HitFilm forums, but the more info, the better!

Simon, your film evokes all of those themes; “Blade Runner, Batman Begins, Metal Gear Solid and Deus Ex…” so the music just followed and flowed with ease once I had seen the cut. Was a pleasure to work on it too.
Looking forward to the next film.

Michael

Some of the editing was done in other software simply because the person performing the assembly cut was more familiar with it at the time (having only just joined FXhome).

However, every single visual effects shot, all compositing and the grade were done in HitFilm Ultimate. A couple of shots also made use of PFhoe to get a camera track, and Photoshop was used to generate a matte painting.

It’s certainly the biggest use of HitFilm we’ve embarked upon so far.

I assume you will be doing tutorials for all (or at least most) of the VFX you have in EP. I can’t wait to see it! This is one of my most anticipated movies of 2012 – Because it’s done with MY software! Is it, completely edited in HitFilm?

Let me be clear… I agree whole heartedly! – The PM is a PR man through and through.

Comment on Deliberate stupefication and why infocracy can save the world by Simon Jones

No, it’s an established word, although most encounters I’ve had with it refer to methods of structure within an organisation, rather than a wider political/social system.
