Greenscreen Compositing - 'Spring Heeled Jack'

The following images are taken from a concept trailer I made for  a feature film titled: 'Spring Heeled Jack', which is loosely based on a Victorian urban myth which I wrote and directed.

The story revolves around Time Travellers and Bounty Hunters from our own future who have gone back to Victorian England to track down the enigmatic character.

 

The scenes  where shot on a Canon C300 by my friend Stefan Lange, who is a miniature effects photographer. His credits include some of the films that inspired me from a very young age including Tim Burtons 'Batman' and James Cameron's 'Aliens'.  I felt honoured to have him onboard for this. As well as directing, I am responsible for all keying, motion tracking and grading, hence the reason I am including it in my portfolio.

The film has Steampunk elements, the superb hand made props where made by a very talented and all round great guy 'Dave Crook'. Check out his work here:

The title character was designed by established Hollywood concept artist Paul Gerrard who can be found here:

Cast:

Film composer Simon Lambros also composed some amazing work for the trailer including the perfect leitmotif for the title character.

Now just give me a few million pounds or dollars and I'll be able to make this film the way it should be made ;-)
