[challenge entry] Drew the original for a local movie industry mag back in `92.

I was working in electronic special F/X back then. You spend hours sitting around on the set doing absolutely nothing when you work in Special F/X.

From the Trees challenge. See all 121 entries (closed)

# It's the blind person panel.

# The First Assistant Director sees nothing.
It's a bit of a joke in the NZ film industry that the First A.D. is always a wannabe tosser who sees only what the Director tells him/her to see and completely lacks any vision of his/her own.
Sorry I guess some humour just isn't portable. :)

# Top tip
Get the head carpenter on board before you start
(if you challenge him/her as to if it is possible, you're onto a winner)

# Bit of a dig at myself, really.
SPF/X see the whole production as primarily an engineering challenge. Someone on the set joked that they can't see the wood for the trees, and that was my inspiration.
