The background plate was taken during a trip to Peru in November, 2009.

This is the original concept sketch (something that I rarely do). The idea of ancient insects and creatures preserved in amber for millions of years is exciting.

Photographing “amber” at home on a window sill. This hefty piece of material is actually resin. Thank you, Gale!

Second sketch was done with quick untextured renders of 3D models to test placement and overall composition. To view some renders of insects form a previous post, click here.

Final composite ready to be taken into After Effects. This is my most complex piece to date, which I greatly enjoyed working on. Next step – building a housing for the monitor (or an animation box, as I like to call them). Stay tuned!

The Earth Will Know
A woman gave birth to a creature of the twilight, all splotched and bristly-skinned, which no one could seem to identify. The angakok said: “The Earth will know.” So they killed the creature and buried it in the ground, to learn what kind of thing it was. The ghost came back: a pretty little girl.
