Basil Twist and the Prison Guards of Azkaban
Still no episode yet, but I've blocked off the rest of the day (and the weekend if necessary) to get it done. Regardless of when I get it online the next episode is scheduled to debut June 1st and I hope to settle in to a regular bi-weekly schedule at that point.
Been so busy I haven't found time to get out to see Van Helsing, which I hear is pretty good. Blockbuster season seems to already be upon us and puppeteers are helping bring to life many of the amazing effects we'll see onscreen this summer. I was surprised to learn awhile ago that they did many of the shots of Doctor Octopus' tentacles in Spider Man 2 practically on the set with a talented team of puppeteers pulling the strings (er, cables) and I read in this month's Cinefantastique that acclaimed American puppeteer Basil Twist - who's done a lot of underwater puppetry work in the past - supervised a series of underwater tests for ILM which were used as motion reference to create the creepy wraith-like Dementors in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
