"I think the most challenging aspect for me was finessing all of the technical details required when blending CG with reality, particularly when transitioning from the bending CG spoon into the bent practical prop that the character sets back down on the table."

"My inspiration for the character and location was "dark-creepy" so we shot in my basement. Being a big fan of the horror genre, this inspiration came from movies like Saw, 13 Ghosts, and Silent Hill. We did about an hour of filming. The hardest part of the project was using Nuke to blend the real spoons and the CG spoon. I learned more Compositing which is new to me."[/I]
