New Look Terrorist Arrows

Hello everyone,

Last night I worked with "Jarska", a friend who is doing the 3D work for Milk Paton on some new look Terrorist Arrows.

We begun by watching the old video on YouTube and discussing the look of the Terrorist Arrows. I decided against giving them eyebrows, at his suggestion. The new look Terrorist Arrows have a more aggressive "head", resembling the head of a spear.

"Jarska" does not reside in the UK, and I am fairly sure English is not his first language, although he speaks it excellently.

He sent me the following basic render over MSN.

Revisions followed, as I sent him back an edited image of ammendments.

Some time later, he rendered a "beauty" shot, which looked great! I like the bevelled appearance of the arrows shaft - a slight change in geometry from the first itteration of Terrorist Arrows really works wonders when shading is applied.



But, the revision work continued.



One of the reasons the new episodes take so long is because I demand everything to be correct. This results in a much more satisfying final product, for both viewer and creator.

Many thanks to "Jarska" for his continuing hard work on the show.

More filming

Hello everyone,

William Richards, ("Will"), who appears in the episodes Milk Paton and QWERTY, Paton Break 7, Paton Break 8 and Manhunt, has been back up in Scotland over the past few days.

I took this opportunity to film his shots for 2 more of the upcoming 8 new episodes.

Here are two images of William during the shoot.
