Another Film Update

This week, I finished my armour props. They were given a final coat of black spray paint, left to dry, and then dry-brushed to give them a worn look. I may add markings and blood, but for now I am happy with the result. The Helmets are done in their cardboard stage, and are going to be given about seven layers of paper mache. After that has dried, a layer of fiber glass will be applied. They will then be sprayed with the same black base coat as the body armour. After tat, they will have details applied, and then a dry-brushing of silver to bring out highlights and make them look damaged.

A Film Update

CGI for the shots of the ship have been make, but not yet recorded. Models of the ships, the planet, stars, the sun and lens flares have all been made and rendered on the computer, ready for recording to be used in the film.

I have also started work on props, such as armour and weapons. The armour will be made of cardboard, with a paper mache overlay to provide a strengthening layer. it will then be spray painted. The weapons will be cheap store-bought toy guns, painted to look realistic.
