Obscure Media: Encore VFX Article

Brought to us courtesy of @widowswinter, who's been working hard to dredge up these gems from the past.

We've all seen this cover by now, but in case you didn't know, Encore was an Australian film trade magazine. It switched to an online format and then seems to have ceased publication around 2013. Some of their articles can be found at https://mumbrella.com.au/, but none going back to 2006. Widowswinter accessed this article via the National Library of Australia, which houses physical copies of the magazine and will make copies/scans of some of their collection.

Full Article and a plain text version below the break:

ENCORE I 22 I V24 ISSUE 2, FEBRUARY, 2006

Digital effects were integral to writer/director Gregory Read's Like Minds, the UK/Australian psychological thriller starring Toni Collette, Richard Roxburgh, Eddie Redmayne and Tom Sturridge.  

With production split evenly between Australia and England, where the story is set, the dual role of the DFX was to heighten the in camera drama, and to solve problems created by on-set limitations and impracticalities. This was especially true for the film's opening train sequence during which schoolboys hang outside the door of a train travelling at 80 km/h, playing 'chicken' with the rapidly advancing stanchions (posts that support the overhead electric wires).

"Even if we could shoot the whole scene on a live train travelling at speed, getting the angles in and out of the train with the presence of real stanchions isn't realistic, not to mention the danger of attempting such a live sequence," said Read, who consulted with DOP Nigel Bluck and VFX supervisor Dave Morley, of Sydney-based VFX house Fuel International, to determine the best way to shoot this scene. "The upshot was to have two shoots; the first being the boys on a live train minus stanchions, travelling at its top speed of 20km/h. We used a wind cannon and lighting rig to emulate speed. The boys were cabled into the train, which gave them the opportunity to hang out, feel the 'rush' and give me the performance I wanted . The rest of the scene was shot in a shed with two very big guys rocking the train."

Like Minds features Collette in the role of a forensic psychologist appointed by police to determine whether there's enough evidence to lay murder charges against 17-year old Alex (Redmayne), accused in the shotgun death of his schoolmate Nigel (Sturridge).

The train scenes were initially earmarked to be shot in Adelaide but the unavailability of a suitable 1970s-style electric train meant the production shifted to a train museum located in Cessnock, NSW. Fresh stumbling blocks at the new location included a train carriage without a front engine and the absence of on location electricity; factors which necessitated the deployment of a bright yellow ex-BHP locomotive to propel the 'electric' carriage backwards and forwards at a maximum travelling speed of just 20km/h.

Fuel's task included the creation of the CG stanchions, which Read wanted to "crash into frame very close to the carriage then vanish into shadow".

"The shot required the stanchion to race towards the boys, barely missing one of them. However, when the stanchion was put in it just didn't look right so David [Morley] gradually scaled up the stanchion to 300 percent as it raced towards us so that it worked, visually and dynamically. As an added effect, when this stanchion slams past it actually hits the camera on which David introduced shudder."

Morley's team rigged up a series of par cans (stage lights) attached to a programmable lighting desk that enabled them to set the speed of lights turning on and off in series to simulate the feel of the stanchions travelling past the carriage at the desired speed of 80 km/h.

"Each of the CG stanchions has its own light pointing down towards the train and we used the par cans to give us the motion of the light travelling past," Morley said. "We built CG stanchions to match the style of what they have over in England, and from reference gathered off the web and footage Greg shot in England, then tracked them in and composited them all together."

When working on shots looking down the length of the train, the ground plane was sped up 400 percent. This was done to disguise the fact that the train was actually only travelling at 20 km/h.

"That would get put back in and then we'd have the CG stanchions over the top of that," said Morley. 'There was normally only one extra carriage behind the one that we were working on, so we ended up having to extend extra carriages as well. Because we only had one train rigged with the lights we ended up shifting the camera up one carriage length then duplicating this carriage for the two missing carriages."

The variance in visible rainfall during the Cessnock shoot presented another problem to be solved.  

"We'd set up to get the master shot, which was a very large crane shot moving down onto the railway tracks from about 30 feet up," Read explained. "In this environment we had two large rain towers with rotating heads which produced heavy rainfall, however when we swung  around to shoot reverse shots there was very little backlight and the rainfall was barely visible. We knew we didn't have time to move lights - let alone the travelling train in the background where the lights would need to stand. It was a matter of placing CG rain into the background of those shots so they matched the master."

Like Minds is set in the middle of the English winter. Obviously, Cessnock's 45-degree temperatures created obstacles. Among the challenges were short night shoot hours, actors having to wear heavy fur-lined clothing and the need to frame out all 'summer' foliage - especially gum trees.

In addition, while the English shoot took place in wintertime, Read was keen to include a shot of the school location in summertime. Fuel was called upon to make shots filmed in winter appear as though it was summer. This was done with sky replacements, adding leaves to trees and replacing snow with grass. Among these was an interior shot of the exterior through a window.

Fuel worked on 89 shots in total including the opening title sequence, which sees a camera move along a darkened surface before rising to show raindrops falling on this surface, which is revealed to be a train track.

"Suddenly a train rushes over the track and we cut out to a wide shot and there's the boy hanging out of the train," said Read. "I thought we could use a motion control rig and then put in the CG later but then practicality and cost came into it and I faced with the reality that this shot was too much of an indulgence; we didn't have the budget and so I turned to David and said 'Help! This is the shot I want to do'.

Armed with Read's storyboards and a second unit, Morley directed the title sequence himself, opting to use a live train to give it authenticity.

"We had to carefully choreograph the timing of both the camera tracking back and the train barrelling down the track straight for us with quite a few dry runs separately with both train and crew until we were confident we had the positions the camera needed to be in relation to the train," explained Morley.  "We still had several safety people standing by to quickly rip crew out of the way of the impending train if they had not reached the agreed ‘point of no return'  position. In the end we got exactly what we wanted."

Once the shot had been captured, Fuel scanned the image at 4K, smoothed the camera move and retimed the sequence. In addition to the titles CG sparks were added to the undercarriage as the train passed by.

The Babel that is 'AI'

The foreman of the Babel project likely shared Sam Altman’s guiding conviction that “all real, sustainable human progress comes from scientific and technological progress” because he was overseeing the use of technological advances giving rise (literally) to ancient towers known as ziggurats throughout the region. The Babel story of Genesis 11 is paradigmatic, representing humanity’s effort by wit, muscle, administration, and, yes, technology to build a mighty kingdom opposed to God that protects and puffs-up (“make a name,” as the story says) the kingdom of man.

The means of achieving these twin goals (protection and pride) are sharply contrasted in the story that follows Babel. When God calls Abram in Genesis 12, he promises the same things (a name and protection/blessing) to Abram, but in a very different manner. If Babel is a project built from the ground-up through human toil, God’s kingdom will be built from the top-down by grace. Babel typifies humanity’s rebellion against God, an effort to acquire dominance, glory, security, and a kingdom apart from the Creator.

Here’s the important point: the Scriptures indicate that demonic forces operate on a parallel yet interconnected track with human forces. These demonic ties don’t just play a supportive role to human attempts at self-glory, but are fundamental to the project of building an empire apart from God. Paul hints at this in his words to a persecuted church; he reminds them that they do not battle against “flesh and blood,” but against the “rulers,” “authorities,” and “cosmic powers�� of darkness (Ephesians 6:12)....

It is striking that when it comes to most of our AI fears, deception is the common denominator. In academic settings, concerns abound as to how the technology might be used by students to deceive their teachers into thinking AI generated work was student generated. Similar worries can be found in creative enterprises like music, visual arts, and writing. And let’s not forget that one of Sydney’s “dark fantasies” is to spread misinformation. Whether it’s misinformation, deepfakes, AI-generated work presented as one’s own, a faux romance with AI, deception is the common thread. The fingerprints of the “Father of Lies” seem to be all over the technology.

Seen from a spiritual frame, as Kingsnorth urges us to, it is not difficult to view the AI enterprise, with its Babel-like aspirations, as the latest attempt to usher a new iteration of the kingdom of man. Just like forces of darkness were behind the building of these ancient kingdoms, these same forces of darkness work behind the “wires,” “electric pulses,” “touchscreens” and “headsets” shaping AI, a case bolstered by the deceit and falsehood often tied to the technology.

This is not to say that there is not a way for the technology to move forward in a manner aligned with the City of God, but thus far Big Tech (collectively) seems quite content to operate from a position of self-interest and self-gain, values prized by both the City of Man and the cosmic powers of darkness.

Word of mouth and online reviews are powerful tools when choosing a service provider. Look for an electrician with positive reviews and testimonials from past clients. A good reputation is a strong indicator of reliability and quality workmanship.

4. Transparent Pricing

Electrical work can vary in cost, so it’s essential to choose an electrician who provides transparent pricing. Avoid those who offer vague estimates or surprise fees after the work is completed. A reputable electrician should provide a clear, written quote before beginning any work.

5. Good Communication

An electrician who communicates clearly and promptly is a good sign of professionalism. They should be able to explain the work needed in layman's terms, answer your questions, and keep you informed throughout the project.

How to Find a Reliable Electrician in Penrith

Now that you know what to look for in an electrician, how do you go about finding one in Penrith? Here are a few tips:

Ask for recommendations: Friends, family, and neighbors are often a great source of recommendations for trusted electricians.

Use social media: Facebook groups and community pages can be valuable resources for finding local electricians. Many electricians also have business pages where you can read reviews and see examples of their work.

Contact multiple electricians: Don't settle for the first electrician you find. Contact at least three electricians to compare their services, pricing, and availability. This will help you make an informed decision.

Verify their license and insurance: Before hiring, always verify that the electrician is licensed and carries appropriate insurance. This protects you from liability in case of accidents or damages during the job.

okay just putting, like, a general warning here. talking about death and i guess murder? i. had my reasons. sorry sydney if you're reading this. love you.

i'm pretty sure he was already in his coma when i killed him.

kill feels like too strong of a word. i didn't murder him. it's like i said in the journal. i turned him off and on again. he was hooked up to... so many machines. he seemed more machine than human -- it helped me detach a little from what i did.

necromancy is. a highly illegal thing. i know that -- knew that, more like it. i think i just knew how fragile his body already was. i'm pretty sure that's a bit of why he ended up in a coma to begin with, i'm not sure. i figured it would be like a system restart, a way to help for once since i didn't know a single thing about helping people with chronic conditions because i hadn't yet been saddled with any chronic conditions.

he was a mechanical angel on that bed. not to blaspheme or anything against some higher being -- it's sort of just what it looked like. one of those biblically accurate angels with monitors like eyes and wires wrapped around as he lay there. the elephant man was always there watching him, and through the closed blinds separating the waiting room from sydney's room i'd watch him sit cross-legged and observant of every movement -- or lack thereof.

i feel like he only got worse from there. i don't fully remember how i did it, but it wasn't anything magical -- just electricity and science and maybe some dissection??

i don't know. this post is a mess, it's nothing like my usual ones. normally i'd be more composed, but all of the memories are sort of shooting back in but in a random order so i can't fully parse through them and i'm. sick to my stomach.

i'm so sorry, sydney. i don't know why you forgave me so easily. but the past is the past?

Verifying that the core drilling company you choose is fully licensed and insured is crucial. A valid license demonstrates that the company complies with industry regulations and maintains high standards of professionalism. Additionally, comprehensive insurance coverage is essential to protect you and the company from any liabilities arising during the project.

Safety and Environmental Considerations

Safety and environmental concerns should be top priorities when choosing a core drilling team. Choose a company with a strong commitment to safety, demonstrated by adherence to strict safety protocols, regular employee training, and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Additionally, opt for a company that prioritises eco-friendly practices, such as minimising waste, recycling materials, and using environmentally responsible drilling techniques.

Competitive Pricing and Transparent Quotations

The cost of core drilling services can vary significantly between companies. Request detailed quotes from multiple companies and compare their pricing structures to ensure you're getting the best value for your money. Choosing a company that offers transparent quotations with no hidden fees or unexpected costs is essential to avoid potential budget overruns.

Conclusion

Choosing the right core drilling Sydney expert is crucial for the success of your project. With the right team, you can confidently embark on your construction or renovation project, knowing that your core drilling needs will be met with precision, efficiency, and professionalism.
