A visit to the 3D cinema turns to mayhem when all the eggs in attendance embark on a mass suicide with inevitable gooey results. A lot of this was ‘in camera’ stop frame animation. We smoothed out some of the moves and added the finishing touches like camera flashes, steam, reflections, 3D tracked exploding ‘Goo’ text and goo. Loads of goo. Goo on the lens. Goo on the walls. Goo. (If you have some 3D glasses handy, the Ready, Steady, Goo text is actually fully stereoscopic)

Kings of Leon - 'Notion'
Kings of Leon play in an exploding building, Weirdly this is the single AFTER “Sex on Fire”. Directed by Phil Griffin. All of these effects shots were filmed on green screen. A back plate of a wall falling down in stages was also shot separately, along with some rubble and falling brick plates. No fire, flames, embers or explosions were filmed on set. We added all of that in Flame. In fact, I even shot some of the exploding coal elements you see hitting the floor in the wides in my back garden after a barbeque.

Muse - 'Space Dementia' (Concert Visual)
This is one of the first (of many) concert visuals I created for the band Muse. There was no 3D CGI package used for this. Just Flame. At the time I made this, it was definitely pushing Flame’s (and mine) 3D abilities to the maximum – not least because it’s all one shot and is over 6 minutes long. This was conceived, directed and executed by me and luckily the band liked it. They don’t really play this track live much anymore so this visual is long dead – so I think I’m safe to put it online by now. It’s all basic sphere geometries wrapped with planet textures, and then a particle generator creating the trails for the light streaks. I like the end when we discover that the universe is all contained within a big glass orb (which is in fact one of my acrylic juggling balls I had lying around). Although at the time way better 3D was possible on other platforms and now the 3D capabilities of Flame have massively advanced, looking back, I’m still pretty proud of this.
