              VFX Breakdowns Of Kevin Margo’s Short Film ‘Grounded’

              Kevin Margo, a VFX/CG Supervisor at Blur Studios recently released his directoral debut with his short science fiction film titled ‘Grounded‘. The film, while the general audience may not fully appreciate it, will entice cinephiles with its stunning graphics and read between the lines themes. In the following video he breaks down the CGI that was used in the film. The film was shot with a Canon 5D Mark II and post processed using 3DS Max and Fume FX.

                a director or supervisor is like the boss of a big company..

                he benefits from the work of others he …well…. supervises.
                but i think kevin margo has done more on this film then directing and supervising.
                he has done the FX and editing himself.

                but blur studio has some very talented people and i love the blur tools.
