Freekstorm VFX Blog

Welcome to our new look web site! Rather fabulous isn’t it?

Humungous thanks to Rich who has spent a huge amount of his spare time beavering away to make it look all shiny and sparkly. Not that the old web site wasn’t...erm...groovy, but it wasn’t exactly easy on the eyes. Freekstorm now has a glossier, more professional feel, which is good news as we’re tentatively planning for it to become part of our day-job one day. Yup, it’s a crazy idea (especially in the middle of a recession) but we love making VFX movies that much!

As time goes on we will be adding more to the web site, not only our indie films but also tutorials (visual and written) and we may even...pause for dramatic drum roll...decide to make an actual indie computer game or two (we’re talking far distant future though – dreams are wonderful things!)

As for me, your trusty writer, I’ll be waffling away on the blog and Twitter. I’m intending to chronicle how we actually make our indie films and discuss everything we learn as we go along – yes, including the many mistakes we make along the way. I am also working on a series of articles about indie VFX filmmaking for fellow newbies, including advice, tips and resources for other folks who are crazy enough to want to do this too.

Rich and I are both really excited about our new adventure! There’s a whole new world to explore out there: so much to learn, so much to share. We hope you will join us on our new quest-fest for knowledge and enlightenment in the Fine Art of Filmmaking.
