This little making-of is in response to a discussion going on over at Newtek’s Disccusion Forums. Thanks JackN and Weepul!

It’s short, but I go over how the earth in the opening shot was created using photos mapped onto 3D geometry. Enjoy!

What a momentous occasion! This is the very FIRST making of featurette — the first of hopefully many.

Yes it’s rough, it’s crappy quality, it’s too long — but at least it’s DONE. Or as done as it’s gonna to get. These little howto/makingof/screen-grab things are more challenging to create than I expected. Mad propz to those who make these things look easy. But, I’m trying out some new apps, got a new mic, and will have more good stuff to show soon.

Plus, on the bright side, the quality can only go up from here! If you have any suggestions for future posts — questions, tips, suggestions — drop a line in the comments.

Hope you enjoy this little peak behind creating one of the shots in the teaser for IN SEARCH OF HUMANS.
