MARS

feature length
high definition video animation

shooting was completed at the austin studios in September 2007 and we are working on editing right now. We plan to complete the film in 2008.

written and directed by Geoff Marslett
produced by Javier Bonafont, Robert Howell, Geoff Marslett, and Anish Savjani

This exciting project will be the first feature length film by director Geoff Marslett. Visually it picks up where "Bubblecraft" left off. Using hi-def video, traditional rotoscoping, and a processor written by Geoff we are creating a unique new visual that falls half way between reality and a graphic novel.

For now enjoy this sample artwork from our test shoot and a couple of semi-processed images created for the recent article in POV magazine.

Check back often, I really will be updating it regularly.

CHEERS.
