Chinese Fantasy - New project

Just this week I've started on a new project. Can't say much yet but it's entering into a massive fantasy world. I Look forward to sharing more about the process as it develops. The production will be based largely out of China, for now though am fortunate to be home working from Wellington.




'The Boy' - Goes into Pre Prod.

'The Boy' from director William Brent Bell has gone into Pre production. 

I was fortunate to do a bit of artwork for this. Excited to see where it all leads. I think this is gonna be freaking cool!

From hollywood reporter: The script, written by Stacey Menear, centers on a nanny  who is tasked with overseeing a lifelike doll by a bizarre couple who treat it as a real child. The couple use the doll as way to cope with the death of their young son, but the nanny becomes increasingly convinced that it is alive.

Bell is posting some great pics on Twitter so follow him to see this one develop.

2:22 Starts shooting


'A man whose life is derailed when an ominous pattern of events repeats 
itself in exactly the same manner every day, ending at precisely 2:22 p.m. 
He falls for a beautiful woman whose life is threatened by these strange 
events, forcing him to solve the mystery of 2:22.'

I've been involved with this thriller for some time now. It started shooting at Fox in Sydney this week with a great Director, Cast and Crew. My role is almost complete. Just wrapping up final conceptual work. I had a wonderful experience working with the whole team but especially the previs and animation team. This mini crew was formed from a small unlikely bunch of kiwis doing outstanding work.

Look forward to sharing more details of this project as it comes to light.  For now though I am back in NZ, home in Wellington taking on the next challenges. All went quiet on the blog for a while there. Its been an intense few months delivering what I think will be an outstanding film.
