Acquired the first BlackMagic Ursa Mini 12K and the BlackMagic Fairlight Desktop Console

   

Built and composited the bridge and landscape miniatures for the End Titles

       

Completing the last section of the mid-sized miniature that the camera sees and I can move on the bridge miniature and the 12th scale interior miniature.

Two shots completed with the medium sized miniature.  Miniature is ready to shoot the next 3 shots with it.  After that I have to shoot the actress' footage and comp her into the shots.

       

Getting the miniature detailed with surface moss on what shows up in the frame for the first shot to shoot with this miniature.

       

Updated the post production computer with AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 core 3.8GHz Processor CPU, ASRock X570 Creator Motherboard, and GIGABYTE - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 video cards and networked
it with the Mac pro 2013

Got the BlackMagic Resolve Keyboard for fast editing in Resolve 16

Also My friend Pete and I built the first prototype retro-reflective bluescreen/greenscreen ring light.  The 2nd one we are building will also be able to do redscreen too.

       

Starting to weather and age detail the mid-sized miniature surfaces

       

Internal fireplace lighting installed and flickering like fire and the interior floor that is seen by the camera laid in and the grouting painted in on the walls.  Now to grout the floor and then age and weather.

Cast the roof and detailed the inner wall of the rear wall on the arts the camera will see.

   

The floor and rear wall are now mounted.  Now I just need to make mold and cast the roof and sculpt and cast the detailing on the rear wall and mold and cast it.  I am wallpapering stone flooring on the floor.

    

Roof is sculpted.  Now to let it cure, fill in the cracks, make a silicone and mother mold of it and cast it.

First side of the roof sculpted.

Cast all the walls and put a aluminum frame together and bolted them on it.

         

Left wall is cast and now glove molding and mother molding the right wall.

         

Roof all marked out and lower balls mounted and ready for throwing clay on to sculpt.

Almost have the base structure for the roof complete.  Now to mount the three lower balls on each corner, make a base, then start marking it up and sculpting on it.

Started building the roof section. Once I cut the areas where the left chimney and right stairwell section goes I will start slapping clay on it, sculpt it and mold and cast it.

    

Bottom section of front face of chimney is sculpted.  In 3 or 4 days I will spray it with Lacquer and the mold and cast it.  Now on to the roof and finish the chimney then paint and detail it.  I can't wait till it is
done and camera ready so I can shoot it for the shots I need with this miniature.

Almost have the tower section of the mid sized castle sculpted with all the areas that will show to the camera.  Just need to finish the front wall, build the roof section, finish the chimney and side section
and most cast them and then off to painting. Here is a quick test composit of one of the shots I will shoot first with this miniature.

    

Learned how to make silicone 1 piece pour, glove and mother molds and cast from them and now making the sections for the mid-sized sections of the castle miniature

         

         

Added the Behringer X-Touch Audio Control Panel to control Fairlight until the Fairlight Desktop Panel is available

Final version of DaVinci Resolve 15 is out of Beta.

Temp composition but 75% there. I still have work to do on the matted edges and need to feather them, as well as shooting the rear sky when cloudy weather comes in (using a temp sky pic from the Internet for the sky in this)
and the CGI chimney smoke plume, an I still need to shoot the tree branch the camera dollies out from under but everything is starting to fall into place in the shot. Once I get the refinements in it will totally
look like it was all shot together.

3 more little things and my film production desk will be complete under the international rules of how film makers production desks are supposed to be. A little Christopher Reeve Superman, A little Michael Myers, and a little Bugs Bunny.
The the things that we have on our desk to remind us of the films that inspired us as film makers in some way will be complete. Even Spielberg has his on his desk and is always amazed when he sees something from one of his films on
another film makers desk that he inspired. Actually moving them to under and in front of the monitor when I get rid of my windows box. Also got John Carpenter's The Fog and Fright Night (1985) posters up now.

           

Green screen painted. And I painted it with UV paint so i can throw a black light up and get a perfectly lit green screen if necessary. Now to send the camera back to BM and have them fix it. While that is done figure
out a few more things like the in camera smoke stack. Get a new chrome HDRI ball in case I need to do anything CGI and I can knock out 3 shots. Then modify the top and redo another shot and this miniature gets
covered in case I need to do something with it again.

Painting green screens on miniature

With the shadow from the bridge from where the light will be for the front lightning blast of this shot. Will look much better with the mixed in smoked in pass, and of course the waterfall, river, smoke stack and rooms
lit by the fireplace and torch. but exactly what I wanted from the bridge shadow. Looks like I am going to have to use my 1K for the shot though as I want to shoot f11 ISO 400 and this was ISO 800 and f 5.6.

Structural detailing put on and painted base gray for now. This is just to create the shadow and reflection in the river. When it is in the shot I am going to be detaining it fully.

Vertical levels all cut and epoxied in. Now just cut a few pieces that are a little long, fill in the few holes with wood putty, paint it gray and mount it in place off camera to
throw shadow and I am closer to shooting first shot soon. After first shot, I need to un-mount it, detail it and put it in the landscape miniature I need to build.

All cut out, both sides epoxied/liquid nailed together and now let it dry and paint it gray. Then when I am done with this shot (cause it is off camera so no need for it for this shot)
detail it and paint it gray again and it will be in the shot. Took a lot longer to cut out hen I thought.

Miniature aqueduct bridge designed. Now I just got to double the wood up, cut all that detail out and put it all together and paint it all gray for now and mount it into position.

Cliff and bushes detail done. Now just a few more thing to detail, figure out a few technical things with the waterfall and smoke stack and some other stuff and I can start shooting it.

Base coat and light coat on the rear cliff. Still need to wait for the clay to cure more to finish it. I also need to flatten the brown on that one cliff.

Rear canyon walls above the Castle sculpted and done. Now to wait a few days for it to dry enough and crack, fill in the cracks, paint and detail with foliage.
Build the aqueduct bridge to make a shadow and I can shoot this thing after planning where I want the lighting for the lighting flashes to be.

Playing around with Film Emulators. May shoot this in Fuji 8543 if the Eastman 5248 does not look good. This is the Fuji with one light correction below.

Put the rear trees in. Now I just need to sculpt the cliff above the castle and do a little more detailing all around and I can shoot it.

Put some grass in on the far mountain so it does not look so bare. Now to start sculpting the cliff side to the left side of the castle (above the castle)
and start building the aqueduct framing miniature for the shadow now and to build it up to be in the other landscape miniature when I build that.

Finished locking down the Castle and island it is sitting on and detailed it with foliage and locked down both bridge. Now I just need
to figure out how to detail the area where the red arrow is pointing (on embiggen), finish the cliff face on the upper side of the castle,
and put trees and extend the waterfall green screen area out and it is time to shoot.

Finally got the cloud pass for not only the end titles but the rest of the shots looking out, but also have backup takes from different
days too for variety of what works for shot. Both before darkening (left image) to how it will look in the film (right image) after
processing. The cityscape in the shot will be replaced with a Transylvania landscape miniature.

     

Now have an Icy Dock Shell USB 3.0 External Enclosure for easy backup to external hard drive for extra copy storage.

Bridges worked. Now to finish the miniature.

One of the things I had to make today as I forgot how to address how they got on that castle in the middle of a river and next to a waterfall in the first place.
And these are the leftovers of the bridge after they blew large sections of it up. Also had to extend the island the castle is sitting on to accommodate one of them..
Also added back in the top spire missing on the tower, and a roof on that other missing piece in the rear.

           

Added the trees to the left side

Just got Poser 10 3D character Animation Program and Runtime DNA Render Studio Exclusive Bundle for Poser. Side-grading to Poser Pro 2014 soon.

Got the one wall of the production office official with movie poster goodness.

Finished the camera rig to lock down the camera in place so it does not move a millimeter during shooting multiple passes. Also added more bushes, detail etc.
Will be able to shoot it soon once I finish the missing pieces of the Castle and detail it more.

     

Just purchased part of the Studio Surround Monitors, the JBL LSR4312SP Sub-woofer with room control, and LSR 4300 Room control kit. Now only
5 JBL LSR4326P speakers away from a proper studio 5.1 surround monitoring system for mixing and mastering audio in Pro-Tools. Go to this page to
see what these studio monitors do (click here).

     

Adding foliage and more detail. Still have not put trees in yet.

Adding some decor to the Post Production Office. This is just the start of making it look official.

Much more grass added and ready to start putting bushes and shrubbery. This is washed out due to it being in
negative mode with a simple lift in brightness, and does not reflect the look as it will appear in the finished film.

Adding grass and dirt to the miniature. This is brighter than it will be shot.

Another official Cue for the score. It will have a few more sounds layered onto it in the end

MUSIC CUE 02
