The Last Birthday Card

play the trailer

The Guide comes with a DVD featuring The Last Birthday Card, a short film I directed in 1999. Birthday Card is the first original Orphanage production, and the first public appearance of Magic Bullet.

The 20-minute short, which played at numerous festivals and on iFilm, is presented on the DVD along with a commentary track and visual effects breakdown. The many effects in the film are used as examples throughout the book.

On the subject of Magic Bullet... I'm addicted to your blog and avidly trying to grasp a complete understanding of your 32bit workflow in After Effects. With that said, can you elaborate on how one would consider adding Magic Bullet or Knoll Light factory in the 32bit workflow being that they are not 32 bit effects

Hi Andres,

Unfortunatley, the best advice I can give is to be patient! :)
