Hi, everyone! I'm the Art Director at Chronicle and the 'guy in the video'. The one with the beard, lol!
Before we go any further, no I can't answer questions about shipping, production, distribution, deadlines, etc. That's outside my area of responsibility at the company, and many of the questions that end up getting asked are shielded by NDA's, or are info that I quite honestly don't know because it's not what I do at the company. But what I can talk about is our last Facebook Live, since I hosted it, and did the concept art and photography that you see above.
Right at the end of the broadcast, our production manager came over (the studio and art department are in a separate building from the rest of the company) to let me know that we had just received approval from the licensor on the statue. We were hoping to receive that prior to the broadcast, but I had literally just stopped the show when he arrived. So we decided to pop back on in an unscripted, handheld camera phone broadcast to show off the statue for those folks who were still online watching. It was spontaneous, we were a little giddy with excitement over the approval, and did about a 6 minute video of the statue. We then decided to delete the video, so that it was only seen as a treat for those who had tuned in to the show, and will do a more formal unveiling this coming Friday, with teases on social media throughout the week.
Yes, our lighting in the studio sucks. The studio is a work in progress, so we'll be improving on the lighting and video quality as move forward, but don't expect immediate changes. We're all still pretty bogged down in work opening back up from quarantine lock down. But to show you how nice the statue looks when properly lit...that shot above with the lightning and all? That's pretty much an unaltered photograph except for the background and embers and smoke elements. Shows you how amazing a piece can look when properly lit.
I hope you'll all join us next week and we'll talk in depth about this piece. No, it's not the staircase scene from the movie, just to clarify. I'll talk more about the choices made in the concept, what all the license will allow for with future pieces, and yes, we'll show off the badass screen used helmet again, as well.
Don't lose your heads. Cheers!
