The Beacon: October 20th 2001

I’ve put the fire FX on hold, having got them looking as good as I can for the time being. They probably need some smoke to complete the illusion. The last couple of days I’ve been doing the muzzle flashes, having studied those in Airforce One closely. They work best on the train stuff, since I can also brighten up the surrounding walls to make the whole carriage flash with light. Dave’s going to have a go at the office window compositing, though I don’t think either of hold out much hope for decent results. The big rubber Reshoot finger is pointing right at me. I’ve got to stop being so lazy, just sitting around doing these FX, when I should be arranging and shooting the remaining 2nd unit photography, primarily the arial stuff, the military landrover and the film-within-the-film.
