Interview  |  Anthony Simcoe
That�s my space ship!

Picture Do you enjoy working on virtual sets?

I love working with virtual sets because it enables us to create an even larger world than we might be able to with sets.

The directors are fantastic and we have a CGI representative on set all the time so whenever we have to work with the CGI we�re given a really detailed brief by the director and by the CGI representative. We have a very detailed idea of either what landscape we�re looking at or what CGI element we�re interacting with so it�s not as though we feel like we�re acting blind.

Then you have the added joy of seeing the elements roll in one by one, you get the wire frame rig and how the shots have been done and that�s approved and changed by the directors and the producers.

And then eventually you see the whole thing finished and blended together and it�s such a joy. "I�m in a space show, I�m in a space show, that�s my space ship flying, oh my god that was a green screen four months ago, now look at it". This is the buzz.

If you think it would be exciting to do then you�re right, it�s absolutely the coolest thing you can possibly do.
