Motion Picture Special Effects
About
“Unlike all the other art forms, film is able to seize and render the passage of time, to stop it, almost to possess it in infinity. I’d say that film is the sculpting of time.”
– Andrei Tarkovsky
Jonathan also supports Independent Film, and has lent his time and expertise to several projects over the past 10 years. Most recently he helped in developing a new media web series with a group of Film Makers in Canada, who released the Sci-Fi comedy series ‘Space Hock’ earlier this year.
At DrakonMedia.com our focus is not just to supply Special Effects services like every other company but Practical Special effects with Visual Effects in mind. Blending the two together to create spectacular action sequences within the time and budget of a modern blockbuster movie.
Jonathan is now embarking on creating his own project, a feature film that he has written and will direct. Shooting is set to begin in early 2016 and the production is now under way. More information will be posted here as the project progresses.
