Clint Heidorn and Lucy Music

So pleased to have the force of nature that is Clint Heidorn doing our music.  He's somehow managed to balance the dark undertones and emotional heights required to tell this story, all while creating something completely original and relevant on it's own. 

Here is Clint (middle guitarist blue shirt) playing with Beck in a Lincoln car commercial released last week.

Here is the entire piece of music... for the car commercial.  For Lucy you'll just have to wait :)

Christopher George and Joost van Schaik

First glimpses of Christopher George's matte paintings for our horrifyingly beautiful rooftop sequence.

First pass patio modeling by Joost van Schaik and Todd Glover.   Both of these guys, like many of their peers have taken such ownership over their work in Lucy, always going above and beyond the call of duty.  For that I'm so grateful.  Without this inspiration and dedication the Lucy project would be nothing.

Something very evil happens in these deceivingly peaceful environments...

Robbie Raio Scarecrow lighting test

We've got a great new 'wet look' eye shader coming from Joost van Schaik and new Scarecrow facial textures from Weecho- tb implemented soon both of which will really plus our noir lighting style.

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:
