Trevor Cawood's Terminus
As anyone who's seen Neil Blomkamp's pre-HALO work can attest, independent film-makers are proving to be the pointy end of the maturation process for CGI effects. The latest manifestation is this wonderfully creepy short by Spy Films director Trevor Cawood:
Cawood - whose commercial reel has a decidedly automotive focus - makes full use of Montreal's uniquely time-lost metro system; both for its Logan's-Run-meets-Solaris paleo-utopian architecture, and by referencing the perpetual clash of commuter and street cultures that plays out on its platforms. Rainmaker's effects work is beautifully blended and wonderfully restrained.
Wow, great short. Reminds me of Lucas' THX short film. Thanks for posting.
