Welcome to the Dune Special Edition Project
This is a project I have been slowly working on over the last few years with the goal of ultimately replacing many of the "outdated" special effects shots in David Lynch's 1984 version of Dune.
The project initially began as an endeavor to build a "proper" ornithopter - one with flapping wings, that neither the movie or the mini-series managed to achieve. However, with the advent of the "fan-edit" the scope of the project has expanded with the goal of updating the effects in all those places in the movie where I feel things could be significantly "improved."
Although I am currently working on this by Myself, it's a large undertaking and if there is anyone interested in helping this project along, feel free to contact Me - We might actually be able to get this project completed with a few more skilled and enthusiastic people!

If you are curious about My professional work, I have been working as a VFX artist (Among other things) at The Asylum for the past 6 years, including visual effects on all 4 Sharknado films (Mainly stuff blowing up!).

In case you haven't seen, here's some concept art of ornithopters for Jodorowsky's unrealized Dune:

@RedstarAnims - Yes, I have seen these before but My problem with the designs is they always look like they are 2 seaters - while the story calls for the vehicles to carry more than just a couple of people.
ReplyDeletePersonally I have always preferred production designer Ron Cobb's interior design work (As on Alien) to his vehicle designs.
Sasha,
ReplyDeleteThis show reel is great and a project I believe should have been done long ago by the studio. It would round the film off in scope and depth. You need to promote this idea further. Have you thought about social website promoting such as Facebook? Get fan interest up to maybe persuade the film company into what your doing?
