I thought it would be fun to show a little behind the scenes of how I came up with my interpretation of Reagan's brilliant monster!

I'm not a VFX artist and this was my first time tackling anything like this, so please be gentle!

This was my submission for Radiohead's vignette competition. I had a few ideas but due to work commitments, I only had a 5 hour window where I could work on something, so came up with this.
The scene is based on a field of corn I filmed not far from my house. Unfortunately my shaky iPhone footage wasn't quite up to the task so I just used the sky and trees, recreating the corn in CG.
The submission for the competition was 1x1 ratio but with the very generous help of Chris Jackson from Shiftmedia (http://www.shiftmedia.sydney) I was able to render out this 1920 X 1080 version as well.
