Hi Greg!

Being novices and all, we’re probably go for one of the more “simpler” solutions. I don’t wanna overdo it and put too much effort being our first real movie and all. It’s probably better if we made something easier and make it look good instead of making a half-assed attempt of rendering and entirely new landscape.

And again, thanks for the great tips, from both of you. We’re gonna be holding a meeting with the crew this sunday, where we’ll discuss special effects amongst other things. We should have a better understanding of what we want after, so I’ll get back to you guys with the latest info if you wouldn’t mind helping me more. Luckily this is the trickiest scene in the movie when it comes to VFX, and probably the only one that’s gonna have to be partially digitalized. We’re also gonna have some parts made in stop-motion. My thought is that this movie is gonna be a little experiment/introduction for us to most of the aspects within filmmaking. I am aware that your first movie never turn out as you’d expect it to, but it’s the experience I’m looking for.

Cheers guys,
Dario

Hey Blaise!

I’m so grateful for your fast response, thank you very much for your tips.
Being relatively new to filmmaking and special effects, we’d probably go for the background composition. Would it be considered too advanced for us to maybe visualize some movement on the field using simple particle effects perhaps, or maybe some sort of layers, to give it a more realistic look?

Cheers,
Dario
