Thanks for the quick response as well as the clarification.

To add to the list of the movies: Hellboy, when Sammael dies.

I would love to participate in this comp, though I face a small problem: I don’t have access to a video camera. So if anyone needs to put together a team or willing to share their video footage, I’m all ears :wink:

Roberto,
What about shots from Anime? The topic reminds me of AKIRA :slight_smile:

You know…
That might not be a bad idea.

Any other anime movies besides akira that we could add?

I would have thought that falls into a different catergory, but I guess the idea is to replicate cool effects, so:

[ul]
[li]Naruto (Bug disintegration, but disintegration nonetheless)[/li][li]Dragon Ball Z has a few[/li][li]Hellsing (more vampires)[/li][li]Howls Moving Castle (landscape disintegration: Check out the cool making of documentary on how they did it)[/li][/ul]

I think there are lots of disintegration fx in anime… of my head I can think of:

Trigun (when he become hyper mode or whatever - and blasts away a city)
Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory - GP02 blasts away the entire fleet…
Zoids Chaotic Century - Charged Particle Canon. So much melted metal…

Others to consider:
FF Advent Children also has some scenes, perhaps adaptable? For example, Kadaj and his two flunkies melting away during the rain.
Dropping a cookie into a bowl of milk. The cookie usually disintegrates after a few minutes of intense pain.

Well that one is more of a teleportation effect, and we can do a whole new challenge based on that…

I think it should be a “person” being “disintigrated” by a “device” without that person really wanting to be disintigrated.

Now let’s get on with the next FXWars.

I’m feeling the need to disintigrate my little sister. :slight_smile:

Great suggestions everyone. Unless this speeds up though the title will have to change to Coming in Feburary… :wink:

#41

Heh, after seeing your sig image I imagine she will be De-Rezzed after being hit with a frisbee.

Might as well add Tron to the list.

#42

I am going back to DC next week ( I am on vacation right now), and I promise we will ramp this up.

#43

there is a hot scene in resident evil, where the special-force has to go a white room. and then comes a laser wire and cuts one of them into little boxes. and all the boxes slides on each other and fall down. i loved that effect :smiley:
but i have no idea how to do something like that :stuck_out_tongue:

edti:

I think this would be another topic :smiley:
I missunderstood the disintegration thing. lol

#44

Check out the movie “Cube” which has a better variant, much grittier, of that effect in it’s opening scene…

/Z

#45

“13 Ghosts” also has a similar effect, but I don’t think it really falls under the category of disintegration, more like “sliced and diced”.

#46

A long as we are on this topic, the first Underworld movie had this effect (the death of Vicotr by Viktor by Selene) , and now that I think of it, also the Blade II Reaper and the party scene in Ghost Ship.

#47

The GhostShip version was extremely “sick”, which might be why I like it.

#48

Em…so? it’s mid Jan now…

#49

Promise I will have it up next week.

Whee! For some reason I read the thread title as the 7th of January… so I got all confused.

#51

Bahh… i finally decide to do one of these challanges and have some time and you are going to start it just as i go away on holidays for a month with no computer
