Since most of the posts are gone on the tread, I'm gonna tell you once again that I am now doing an 'Oddworld Evolution' instead.
There is a sequence where Foultomolec the Steef and Noggin the medic bird are using a tent as a raft, in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, and are surrounded by great white sharks, one which is a large one (The only one which Foultomolec actually kills.
It is nice to hear something that is actually possible to do on screen, normally when I’m making a film, all the visual FX team and Live action FX department say is ‘Sorry, that’s not entirely possible’, ‘Are you nuts, do a rewrite’, but for this scene, no, completely different story.
Before Hollywood had discovered Visual FX, they had an old saying: If you want something really, really big, then build it really, really small!’
The Set construction department, Animatronics team, and the Mini Figure Department, are all working on the shark attack scene.
We at the Isle of Mann have the very rare species, basking sharks.
At the south of our Island, there is another small Island called the Calf of Mann.
You can get boat trips to the Calf of Mann. Only one person lives there, and that is only so he can protect the wildlife. We were lucky, as last year on our way back to the Isle, there was a Basking shark there, and the captain of the boat (They’re only little fishing boats that can fit 10-15 people on) took us really near the shark. It’s fin was less than a foot away from the boat, the downside was that the batteries on my Camera had gone, so couldn’t get any footage, so I made need to take the trip again. But I am going to use some footage of a basking shark’s fin as well.
We have to make sure that we get the shot just right though, as
A. A basking Shark's body looks completely different than those of a White
B. At moments, a basking sharks fin will flop down, and this does not happen with a white.
But fingers crossed
SCENE ABANDONED
This film is going to be a live action film, yet it will use a hell of a lot of visual FX, EG:
IMPORTANT:
Main Characters go for a little swim in Niagara river, not being from Earth, they have no reason to know what comes if they don't swim fast...
(I removed a very large image of Niagara Falls as it was too big and since we can't do this scene anyway theres no point in me taking up internet space!)
Nhoj-Tan Producitons cannot go to Niagara to see the falls and film there, as it's too dangerous to put an actor in the waterfall anywy, and I'm on the Isle Mann, half way across the world !!!!!!
I am forseeking two possabilities of how they should go down the Waterfall,
1. Foultomolec does a bomb dive into the lake off the waterfall, 2200ft down, and then lands in the deep pool, 185ft, and all tourists on the Maid of the Mist stop and stare, or Foultmolec lands on the boat, what do you think would work out better?
SCENE ABANDONED
Bad news! The Niagara scene is too hard to do and would cost about a fortune to do it digital! Me very sad!
This is the first time I've got to have an award winning actres in one of my films
Filming starts 23rd December!
The is a sequence with rain in it. Do you want to know how we create the rain digitally, you'll be confused when you see it, if you want to work on live action films in need of Visual FX, then this'll put you off it for life, actually, It's quite fun doing it.
Here it is, My code for making Digital Rain:

There are many references to Jaws in the film. It'll be guest starring the most sucsesful film director of all time: Steven Spielberg, and he will be playing himself.
The Oddworldanians will be going through a Hurricane towards the end.
It is set during Hurricane charley, due to my experiance two or three months ago, when I was trapped in it (I am currently directing another film called 'Charley', and I may use some clips from that)
The Sound FX department are working on the sound effects for Scrabs walking and Glukkons puking at this very moment (20:41, Wednesday 27th October 2004). It has many referances to the Great Escape as well as Jaws.
It has the unforgetable rattling water (Jurassic Park) when a big bro slig appears.
