Anubis Digital makes leap to Special Effects Powerhouse

Posted by Tim on September 19, 2007

Anubis Digital Studios, LLC, the creative team behind the award-winning zombie/comedy DEAD MOON RISING has geared up to become a Computer Generated (CG) Special Effects (SFX) powerhouse in Louisville, Kentucky.

Employing the same tools used in other big name SFX studios, Anubis Digital Studios intends to make it¢s next feature film (REQUIEM FOR THE FALLEN) a showcase for their abilities in CG SFX.

The methods employed will include (but are not limited to), match moving, 3D storyboarding & pre-visualization (PreViz), photogrammetry, digital set extension, compositing photo-real digital models with live-action plates, fluid dynamics, motion capture, digital stunt double replacement, HDR imaging, and particle effects.

REQUIEM FOR THE FALLEN is entering preproduction, with the creation of a greenscreen set on a 1,200 square foot soundstage (see www.AnubisDigital.com for details of set construction). Anubis Digital intends to shoot a trailer for REQUIEM in order to demonstrate proof-of-concept and secure investment capital.

REQUIEM FOR THE FALLEN is a Gothic story of fallen angels, demons, condemnation and redemption. Forget what you learned in Sunday school. Think of it as a mash-up of CONSTANTINE and BLADE RUNNER, told in the visual style of UNDERWORLD and 300. It will include the large crowd scenes featuring hundreds of extras that are a signature trait of director/screenwriter Mark E. Poole.

Casting for the trailer will begin shortly, the website will be updated soon with the available roles.

Crew positions will also be listed on the website. Experience in the area of CG SFX would be a plus, but is not required. As these sorts of skills are relatively new to this region, internships will be available to give on-the job training. The primary requirements will be a positive attitude, sense of responsibility and burning desire to explore new ground. As more feature films begin to employ CG SFX, inductees will be exposed to cutting edge skills that will make them marketable in this environment.

Keep your eyes peeled for further announcements about Anubis Digital Studios and REQUIEM FOR THE FALLEN.

Anubis Digital: Quality entertainment, worth watching.
