THE JOURNAL / PROCESS & CRAFT
A film begins long before the final render. These five production clips open up the decisions behind movement, environment and visual style.
A progression study by Rik Schutte. Compare the broad intention of the movement with the details that make the final character feel present.
A matte progression by Andy Goralczyk. Watch the environment gain depth, atmosphere and a direction for the eye.
A shading and rendering research breakdown. The graphic result is assembled from deliberate choices about light, colour and surface.
A work-in-progress sequence, before the final film. Compare the visual priorities here with the completed screening.
A test of Rex’s performance, rendered during production. A small clip about the large job of establishing character.
