<p>A lot of people wanted to see a little more on how we made <a href="http://www.blownapartstudios.com/main/2009/11/11/battlestations.html">Battlestations!</a>, so here it is.&nbsp; It's 8 hours condensed down to less than 5 minutes.&nbsp; We also want to thank everyone involved, hopefully we got everyone in this video.&nbsp; You all did an amazing job!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also, a special thanks to Derek Yorton for taking that slap like a man...again, and again, and again, and again......</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.blownapartstudios.com/main/rss-comments-entry-6527713.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Battlestations!</title><dc:creator>Michael Poole</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:10:51 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.blownapartstudios.com/main/2009/11/11/battlestations.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">459846:5171553:5762316</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rMYqzU1nZew&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rMYqzU1nZew&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p>This is a commercial we made for the Doritos Crash the Superbowl contest.&nbsp; We had an absolute blast making it at U-Prep in Redding CA.&nbsp; Everyone in it is a U-Prep student and they all did an amazing job.&nbsp; While there are quite a few effects shots, the "Fractal Dorito" itself is entirely real.&nbsp; It was made from more than 12,000 chips.&nbsp; It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun.</p>
<p>Be sure to check out the <a href="http://www.blownapartstudios.com/projects/">Projects</a> page to learn more about how we made the giant fractal chip.&nbsp; We also have a <a href="http://www.blownapartstudios.com/main/2010/2/1/battlestations-making-ofblooper-reel.html">Making of/Bloopers Reel</a>.</p>
<p>The entire commercial was shot on a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001WAKSCW?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blownastudio-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B001WAKSCW">Panasonic GH1</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blownastudio-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001WAKSCW" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.&nbsp; It's a tiny SLR type camera that takes amazing video.&nbsp; It did an incredible job and we're planning on using it in upcoming projects.</p>
<p>Speaking of which...</p>
<p>We have a webshow coming up called "Nerd High".&nbsp; It's a musical comedy that takes place in an alternate world where all the highschool cliche's are reversed.&nbsp; Nerds rule the highschool and all the jocks and cheerleaders are outcasts.&nbsp; But it gets even crazier than that.....</p>
