‘GENTLEMEN’S RELISH’ POSTS AT RUSHES
RUSHES, one of Europe’s leading special effects and post-production houses, have completed several shots for the film, ‘Gentlemen’s Relish’, to be aired on New Year’s Day on BBC 1.
The shots involved the construction a dirigible balloon with Maya software and inserting the Houses of Parliament into a background shot using Flame.
Dave Child, Rushes 3D Operator, said: “One of the reasons for using 3D, is to place objects in a film which are difficult to shoot with a camera. As there are only three balloons of this type in Europe, Principal Pictures asked us to create one. They gave us a picture for reference and a story outline to work from. We then created virtual actors, a balloon and an unattached basket, made the balloon look like it was made of gold silk and got the lighting just right for the environment.”
‘Gentlemen’s Relish’ stars Billy Connelly, Sarah Lancashire and Douglas Henshall.
