Big Pimping there! Looks great!

Someone else says 'evildoers' besides Bush. Of course, in this context it's in a noir fantasy...and the other is about a film.

Wow. Orphanage did some kick ass shots.

December 1, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterDan

Thanks Dan! The Orphanage was the home base for all the work on The Spirit, and we did quite a few shots there, but there were nine other companies whose work you're seeing as well.

It looks amazing Stu, you must be very proud. And rightly so. I've been looking forward to this one for a while now...

Heheh That's cool Stu, I was on Spirit at DD in Montreal too. It was hands down the most 'artistic' show I've worked on. Pretty cool stuff and I can't wait to see the film after all the promo that's been running around the web in the past months.

Stu, does the amount of available light dictate the color of a scene? Not counting the Spirit's tie, obviously.

Oh, and WOW!

Story drives color. That's one of the true joys of making a movie like this—you get to follow the comic book dictum of only showing the audience that which helps tell the story. The red tie is *very* significant.

Nice work, Stu!

They need to play that featurette instead of the theatrical trailer. I just saw the trailer again in the theater today and it just makes the movie seem so uninteresting. That featurette, on the other hand,has the opposite effect.

We also need an all Stu featurette, however.

Freaking beautiful work there Stu and The Orphanage! I can't wait to see this Christmas Day. The film looked like so a joy to work on.

December 7, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJoshfilms

Whoa! I heard about this movie but had no desire to see it...until I saw this preview.

Stu, nice work...I want to see this NOW!

Man, Christmas cant come soon enough.
