View Full Version : F/X: Firing a bazooka in the backyard. At an AT-AT walker. In snow. With a shaky cam!
MasterZap 01-25-2003, 09:51 PM Well, it's not perfect. But getting a perfect camera track when 70% of the frame is snow aint exactly easy ;)
Comments appreciated.

I dunno why my QT turned out so pixelated. If you have any possibility, please view the Windows Media version!
No backyards were destroyed during this shot ;)

Purty darn cool. The feet on the AT-AT seem to slide a liittle and he walks way too darn fast but that could just be a design decision. Also, the explosion of the rocket hitting the AT-AT seems to happen before the rocket itself gets there. Um, what else, spectacular light, the composite is awesome. For any errors I might point out, I couldn't do half as good yet, so good job and keep more comin! :airguitar

great work guys except the rocket had not hit yet there was an explosion.

Yeah well actually the rockets explosion is simply missing. It's a WIP afterall. Thats just another explosion from, uh, somewhere ;)
The kids had fun. And I know the AT-AT's walking behaviour could be sorted under "strange" but..... that's life ;)

That's awsome, but the robot guy is moving way to fast for his size. It's funny the realistic effects mixed with the really cheasy rocket launcher prop :) A strange ballance. I like your title "Coming this decade", that's pretty funny.

Cool!
My only comment is with the Walker's walk animation. Watch how a dog or cat or som other quadroped (hope that's the right word) walks and compare to how your walker is walking.
Both legs on one side should not be lifting up at the same time, the machine would fall over. Front Left and back right and so-on in order to keep ballance.
It's most noticable in the scene just before the kid launches the rocket.
The motion seems fine in several areas, but at some points the legs start to get out of sync and then the walker takes a few steps like I mentioned above, then back to normal, then just before being shot it's out of sync again :)
Time indexes of the 2 legs on one side up are around 24seconds in and 30 or 32 seconds in.
Still, love it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :drool:
