The Dark Side of the Earth: October 3rd, 2008

A meeting at the Model Unit today was very fruitful. We finally sorted out how the ceiling mechanism which supposedly controls the Swordsman is going to be achieved. The solution, or in fact solutions plural, are actually quite simple, and in all fairness Ian has been suggesting one of them since day one. They’re difficult to describe, but they don’t require a walkway and they don’t pose a problem of connecting ropes in a live action plate to post production elements. The bulk of the mechanism will be achieved with a miniature element of some kind, but the section immediately above the Swordman will be in-camera.
