Digieffects, a developer of popular
visual effects software plugins, today announced that it will sponsor
Rogue Kite on The Natural Forces Summer Tour. Rogue Kite, a Wilmington,
NC-based production company and rental house founded by Michelle Boley,
consists of five current and former UNCW film studies students. The
group will spend four weeks driving around the United States shooting
hours of footage with a RED ONE camera. The group will be working on
several projects including filming footage for the Digieffects Natural
Forces upcoming product release and a feature documentary tentatively
entitled Revisiting the American Dream.
Rogue Kite will maintain a blog, which can be followed at
www.digieffects.com. The blog will incorporate footage shot on a RED
ONE and several other behind-the-scenes cameras, music, text and still
images to chronicle the group's adventure. Each day, the group's
footage will be captured onto MacBook Pros and edited with Final Cut Pro
and After Effects. Digieffects latest plugin, Natural Forces, will also
be applied to dozens of clips so viewers can see how the plugin can be
used in a real-world environment.
Rogue Kite will begin their journey on July 1st from Wilmington, North
Carolina. The group's journey will take them from coast to coast and be
tracked via GPS so viewers can follow their progress in real-time. Each
of the four filmmakers - Taylor Gill, Martin Hagar, Brandon Smith, and
Michelle "Scheli" Boley - will also maintain their own blogs on
roguekite.com so viewers can follow their individual perspectives on the
voyage.
