Dust: visual effects, compositing and title design
Ibis Films is currently producing visual effects for “Dust”, a short film from Moving Target Entertainment. “Dust” is an action/fantasy digital short subject shot on location in and around Los Angeles, California in September 2007.
Ibis Films is producing roughly two-thirds of the total visual effects and compositing required to complete the project. Kevin Olmsted was on set during principle photography serving as visual effects supervisor, assisting and advising on the various shots that Ibis Films would be producing visual effects and composites for. Kevin also supervised effects shots that would be produced by Steve McLean, who is creating CG models, animation and various other elements for the effects shots not handled by Ibis.
Before principle photography began, director Marcus Dreeke requested a series of test pieces be produced, demonstrating the various effects that would feature prominently in the film. This is a sampling of those effects tests; final production footage is forthcoming.
