Bombs Away! Concept Art

Concept artworks done previously for my Grad film.
There are plenty more, but most of them are rather rough sketches than actual concept art. The final feel and tone of the film is pretty much based on these early concepts.
We are now currently into the final stages of production. Hopefully it'll turn out good.

Visual Effect & Motion Graphic Inspirations 2

In this follow up post, I shall share some of the stuffs I did lately after getting inspired by numerous creative works.
But just before this, let us watch one of the most awesome visual effect work created recently.

Below is the opening sequence for the movie, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It's a recent thriller film directed by David Fincher.
David Fincher is known to open films with very stylish and cool opening sequences such as in Se7en, Fight Club and Panic Room. And this time he brought it to a whole new awesome level.
This insanely cool sequence is produced by Blur Studios and the talented Onur Senturk, whom I showed 2 of his shorts in the previous post.

And I tried to replicate some of the looks from various VFX works. No intention to copy their ideas but just purely for practicing purpose. They are all in stills now, I'll probably animate them if I can find time.
