We welcomed actor Daniel Thrace back into the studio to record his lines for Episodes 19 & 20. Once again he proves (as does everyone in the cast) going all out is the only way to get the job done!

Coming Very Soon - Episode 19: The Divide

Friendships shatter. Loyalties fracture. And something inside Jess Wilder is waking up.

Still reeling from her explosive confrontation with Emily, Jess finds herself isolated, emotionally and physically. As her condition worsens and whispers from the dark edge closer, Natalie offers a lifeline… but at what cost? Taken to a secluded house on the outskirts of town, Jess begins to suspect that the people she trusts most might be hiding dangerous truths.

Meanwhile, Emily, Paul, and ...

Extended Concept Image

As mentioned previously, we might take an existing plate or stock image and enhance certain things as a guide for a future iteration or test. Obviously something as complex as the werewolf transformation needs a lot of time and consideration, not to mention preparation, so image works like these are invaluable to that cause.

So, mark your diaries, and co...

Not Long to Go Now!

What’s that old song? “It’s the final countdown!”? *80s guitar riffs ensure*

We’re just a few hours away from launching the Inner Circle! And to top it off we accidentally picked a night when the full moon is going to be a super special one - The Strawberry Moon.

“This full Moon, visible 10-11 June 2025, will be the lowest full Moon in the sky for nearly two decades: a phenomenon that won't occur again until 2043.”

Apparently it’s also traditionally named to ...

Elle Test - Production Shot #2

And to link from the previous post, this might be an example of how we'd use said images - more fully edited with some graphical work added (eyes, hair, contouring, distorting etc).

These sorts of images would then be added to our marketing material slate for future use to promote things.

Elle test - Production Still

One other thing we try and do alongside any filming or test work, is grabbing photo stills - something we've built up quite a library of over the last 24 months!

These are generally kept on file for use as publicity stills, concept references, artists references and so on.

Happy Sunday!

So as part of that crazy two day shoot for the secret project, we put together a small scene to implement the previous effects tests into a cohesive scene.

Again, as Danni was unavailable for the shoot, Elle O'Hara stepped in to perform her take on what would effectively be the first time Emily transforms into the werewolf, albeit not as the pilot transpired - more on that later.

As with all our tests, we learned some really valuable l...
