The fellow who is doing the special effects for the Shades of Milk and Honey book trailer is a BAFTA award winning special effects supervisor who I know from Lazytown. Remo Balcells has worked on films like The Fifth Element and Final Fantasy. He’s currently doing FX for Hawaii Five-0.
Tonight he emailed to say that he was “quacking off the renders.”
You know… I didn’t think there was a profession out there that made puppetry phrases look completely prosaic. “Quacking off?” I have no idea what it means, but it sounds fantastic.
What DOES quacking off mean in that context?
I actually still have no idea.
