File Zero, Virtual Production & bridging the gap to real history!

 

We recently had a chance to film an ending for the File Zero (aka Archivo Cero) animated web series that we worked on back in 2008-2010 for about 18 months.  An opportunity came up to put File Zero into a broadcast rotation but it needed to be transformed from a 14-episode web series into a 50 minute video suitable for broadcast with the close that bridges from the series content (set in the future) and relating it to the story of Jesus referenced in the series.  Here is some 'Making of footage' and how we used 'Virtual Production' and the Unreal Engine to make the video.

If  you want to see the end of File Zero (episode 14) with this new close, check out the video below.



Thank you to Jeff, Dom, Andres, Daniel, Eileen, Alex, Kashmere, Brent, Melissa, Mike, Vance, Marc, Marcos and the crew.  Please forgive me if I'm forgetting anyone else!  - Irv

frances goeth but whence Ivan?

We made it...but it is wet and sloppy here. This storm was a slow mover and dumped a lot of rain for the last day or two...even today now that the eye went over Tampa and is heading up toward the panhandle of Florida, the storm is so big that the eastern side of the circulation is over the whole state and bring winds from north to south with rain and thunderstorms all day. Wacky! I made a quick emergency roof repair yesterday since we were having some leaks, and now I'm back up to the roof when it stops raining to tack down some plastic over another section. We had power restored in about 12 hours so that was a real praise to the Lord. The energy crews are really on the ball here and there were already extra crews here because of Charley. Sounds like we were one of about 20% or less that got it back so soon. Now they tell us hurricane Ivan is brewing and that 'cone of probability' that weather people show keeps pointing to us again along with the East Coast and
