Over the weekend somebody told me that the visual effects department was insanely small.I can confirm this for you, so we had five people doing a majority of the almost 500 shots. So that’s crazy.That is crazy. Can you talk about that?Yeah.
I was actually thinking this morning, I was like, I need to go back to any big movie that comes out and just count how many people, because I want to be able to say that there were literally 100 times more visual effects artists on other movies coming out than on ours. I don’t know for sure. I’m sure that’s probably close to being accurate.The way that came about was very early on… I’ve been working with the Daniels for a decade and I got started with them just because I wanted to make stuff.
They had just started making stuff. They’d made two music videos and I met them at a screening and I was like, “Hey, I do weird stuff like you do.” I gave them my card and never heard from them. And then I ended up making something called “Beard Punch” where it was just me and a friend.
And my beard got punched off my face. I had a full beard and then it got completely punched off.And I sent it to them and they’re like, “We need help. We’ve got this music video that we were just booked for The Shins.” This is right when they had started blowing up in music videos.
And like, “We’re doing this, we have the short film called ‘Pockets’ that we need help finishing. We have some shots that are hard. Can you help us with it?” And I just got into this relationship with them where I became one of their go-to guys and they’re like, “We have these visual effects, we usually do our own visual effects, but these are some hard ones and we’re having trouble with them.
