I went to the premiere screening of the new "Aliens of the Deep" IMAX film. It's a documentary about studying deep sea life in order to understand the possibilities of what life might be like else where in the universe. It was a unique experience to be in a room filled with filmmakers and scientists who worked on the film. Everytime one of the deep sea crew appeared on screen there were cheers. It was all introduced by the directors, James Cameron and Steven Quale. You could hear Quale choke up a bit as he thanked everyone in the room for their parts in the film.
To see your own work on screen is really something. Its one of those things that... once its happened you just want it to happen more. I worked on a sequence which was called the "jovian flyby" during production where we move around the moons of Jupiter. Blur's crew on it was great. It was a very calm and relaxed job.
Its funny... there is a lot of press out right now about the stuff I have done over the past year. It seems like it hit all at once. Its all kind of strange, really. Its like reliving the past year over again.
If you're curious as to what I worked on.. there is Blur's short called "In the Rough" about a caveman who finds life "rough" on his own.
