Aaditi Dutt's blog

One of our matte painters, Aaditi Dutt, has posted on her blog a fascinating collection of photographs of a fire in her building (Aaditi is ok :)), some of which may be mined for use in texturing the bleak environments in Lucy.  Additi is a fantastic talent, but don't take my word for it.  See her work for yourself:

Alex Ware vfx test - Lucy's mother's dress

There's a ghostly apparition in Lucy's nightmare, a memory of her deceased mother that appears in the form of a dress carried by the wind.  Alex Ware, our newest vfx artist is bringing it to life with a kind of beauty that is downright haunting.  Thank you Alex!

We're working to push this shot through our pipe so you'll be able to watch it come together in stages.
