No Holds Barred with the Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne

Thursday, August 09, 2012

She's obnoxious, loud, brash and about to get what's coming to her. The Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne Barr airs this coming Sunday, August 12th. Hosted by Roastmaster, Jane Lynch, the life and work of the always outspoken "Domestic Goddess" will be celebrated by celebrity friends and comics and no subject is off limits!

The Mill NY is also getting in on the act by crafting explosive visuals for the Roast's promos.  "Being a big fan of the Comedy Central Roast, this was an exciting project to be involved with," shares Lead 2D Artist, Gavin Wellsman.

"The studio shoot left us with a great palette for the team to build on. Our background matte painting made for a strong foundation for Gavin to build up the bulk of the atmospherics and animated elements for what ultimately became Roseanne's own private Hell on earth," adds VFX Producer, Jarrad Vladich.

"Roseanne always comes off as a tough lady not to be messed with, so we used a fiery red grade and a hot environment with flames and smoke on the ground to create the physical manifestation of that. It was really fun to make her world outside of the Roseanne kitchen eerie and hellish," explains Wellsman.

"We also had the pleasure of working on this with Director, Kathy Fusco, a long-time friend of the Mill," adds Wellsman.

She can dish it, but can she take it? Watch the Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne Barr on August 12th and see! You can check out the show's promo here:
