Rushes have assisted titles designer Matt Curtis of AP Design to create feature titles for the much-anticipated movie Dorian Gray.
Using a combination of post production, polystyrene sheets, cellulose paint thinning solvents and a lot of patience, the titles for Ealing Studios and Fragile Films' Dorian Gray were born.
Titles Designer Matt Curtis of AP Design wanted a fluid and decaying feel to the titles and it was determined early on through numerous tests that we couldn’t get the random feel digitally in the time we had available. Matt Lawrence, Rushes Head of MGFX Studio spent a week experimenting with various techniques to get the decaying look which ranged from burning painted letters using an electric paint stripper to heating baking powder in a frying pan.
Finally, through trial and error, a technique was honed that gave the right look. This involved spraying cellulose paint thinner directly onto polystyrene sheet and shooting it with an HD Camera. Matt Lawrence spent the next week cutting out hundreds of letters from the polystyrene sheet in preparation for the shoot that was undertaken in a day at Rushes.
After a many layered After Effects build, the titles were determined and then passed onto Rushes Shake compositors lead by Hayden Jones to refine, grade and layer revealing Ben Barnes’ (who plays Dorian Gray) image through the letters with extra textural splats shot by Matt Lawrence.
Matt Lawrence comments: “I think this was one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve ever worked on. It was great to get back to my roots and get my hands dirty doing model-making again. It has also made me think in a different way about achieving effects; just because we use computers every day to create our work, doesn’t mean it’s the best way of achieving the effect you are after.”

I'm not finding many of these edible sponge mushrooms this year. Is my eyesight failing me, or is this year's crop not as big as usual?

Dorian Gray (1928-2011) was a very elegant Italian actress in films by Michelangelo Antonioni and Federico Fellini. She was also the sexy seductress in comedies with Totò. In 1965, Gray completely vanished from the public eye.

I have been lamenting the fact that I just can’t seem to capture a Catbird even though they are pretty common here. Some of my contacts and I have been discussing Catbirds and those species that always seem to elude us. My nephew and I took his dogs out for a walk in Fish Creek Park in Calgary during a family reunion this weekend. We ran into this Catbird who offered me this shot. I don’t know if the jinx is broken or not.

"At Grays we believe diversity is the spice of life, and no-one deserves the stagnation of choice that has become synonymous with city centre dining. Every day at Gray's we offer fresh choices, and the boys in white always love to give your pallet a chance to experiment."

The gray catbird is a common bird that I see during spring migration.

I needed some subtler handknitted socks to wear with work clothing. I wear tons of gray and black so these socks will get a lot of use.
So far I'm really liking the yarn - Jo-Ann Soles & More. 75% superwash wool, 25% nylon and they're knitting up at 9 SPI (my preferred sock gauge for stockinette socks.
I'm going to try Wendy's toe up gusset pattern on these.
