"Framestore" the  UK Special effects team for this film were presented with the award and also thanked RSP.
My youngest son Daniel worked for RSP on this film with others in the Adelaide Studio.
Well done guys!
And well done all the visual effects' artist families who have to sacrifice family time when their partners work on these films.
See my earlier post on this.

I am very proud of my son and his workmates.
Probably few have any idea other than families of these artists how hard they work to first of all get the skills they need and then to execute them.

Gravity

Last night my wife and I and other family members had the privilege of attending an advance screening of Gravity which is being released today.
Our youngest son worked on the film.
He is employed by Rising Sun Pictures in Adelaide.
The film is in 3d and is a spectacular space drama.
There are many reviews on the internet already.
It stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.
An early tip for an Oscar for Best Actress in Sandra Bullock and also best special effects.
As long as you can handle 3d get along to see it.
As a Christian I could draw some joy from some of the thought processes of the heroine under intense pressure.
Here is one review link below.
