*1 Matte work: A traditional process in filmmaking. Such as having a castle in a movie, or futuristic building drawn with oil paints into a glass canvas. And placed to in a manner that it appears to be in front of the camera. Nowadays, the same effect is gotten by having a digitally made 3D background displayed on a blue screen, with the actors acting in front of the screen.*2 Concept art: Creatively visualising the director’s ideas and images of how the film will be finally made. It also plays a major part in fundraising, as it provides a means to show sponsors and investors what to expect from a completed project. >
How are the Japanese made Orbital2 devices received by foreign creators?
Is it possible to accelerate work and relieve fatigue in the world's best creative scene?
It was an entirely unknown area for Orbital2.
But this anxiety, actually turned out to really compliment the process.
Jason Horley used the Orbital2 to complete a piece of work.
In this interview, despite any preliminary arrangements or discussions with Jason about the device, he completely understood and resonated with the concepts the developers were trying to get across. He really helped us open the doors to greater possibilities for the Orbital2.
Through this overseas expeditions and interviews, we have been able to corroborate that the Orbital2 is an effective, and much desired, device for creatives across the globe.
