A new for-the-web 10-part SciFi series named “Trenches” has enlisted the help of Shane Felux to shoot the picture (available on Crackle.com). In an interview with AWN, he discusses how we works with the VFX people involved in the low-budget feature and how it’s impacting the project.
BD: So, talk about the effects. How much CG is there?
SF: Most all of it is live action, but there are some shots that are pure CG, such as space shots, and we mainly use LightWave and a little 3ds Max and After Effects for all my composites. Lee Stringer [Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Battlestar Galactica], who is my CG supe– he’s in Singapore now working on Clone Wars. But this was the first time I’ve ever had a CG supe. It's usually been me, and, as you probably know, working with effects is extremely difficult.
