YO GUYS!!! I can't believe 3 weeks have passed since my last update!?!
Yes! I have some updates!! I finally have a few free days to spend in the workshop and build something!
During last couple of weeks we only managed to do a couple more tests, but this time live action, not miniatures! Those were only lighting tests of the car interior and we filmed them in a random temporary car which won't be in the film. We'll rent a proper retro car when the time comes. Here are some stills:
Most of these props and monitors inside are just temporary, real ones are not yet finished..
We tried to achieve that specific eighties -cyan/magenta- color and atmosphere. We are filming on Black magic 4K camera, and I must say 4K resolution is.. well.. camera porn!! :lol Its HUGE! You can see every detail.. We are very satisfied with that camera!
Okay, so I decided to finish the car model! *** I must apologize for the quality of photos. I borrowed my Canon camera to a friend, and all I had is my cheap, crappy cellphone. :thumbsdown
I started by making this huge chunk of monitors that will be on the passenger's seat.
It's a quick and dirty build! In the darkness of the cabin only contours will be seen, so I'm sloppy and fast!

Paint makes everything look better anyway, right?
Here I drybrushed it. Also I've made the screens, and put some colored foils inside:
I just glued some junk in the car too:
All together - not bad I think! The seat is made from cardboard and taped all over with masking tape to give it some wrinkles!
OK, I tried to find some kind of G.I. Joe in scale for a driver, but nothing turned up.. So today I made my own puppet. :lol
Introducing Twigman:
That's just his bones. Twigman's hands were made from wire and masking tape:
Due to inexplicable loss of a couple of progress photos (cheap cellphone), we now jump to the finished thing. I basically wrapped Twigman with paper and sellotape and glued some kind of fabric to simulate clothes.
He looks like he is immersed in his thoughts.
So in the end here is a test with lights on. Again, cellphone sucks in this type of situation especially..
When i get my camera back I'll try to make a proper photo..
That's it! I hope I'll have something new soon, and not after 3 weeks. :behave
