This is awesome. This is how you feel film making. I love this concept a group of small guys using ingenuity, being creative to get something done like this.
It’s not a ton of 1000 animators to get one shot, but a group of creative folks in a small group getting that done.
This is what raw filmmaking is about.
Awesome. Great! Superb!

Heh, and here I am thinking that this thread was dead like a month ago 
jigger: Thanks man, we´re all very glad to make you speechless!
Flog: Thanks dude! Yupp, it´s alot of fun working in a small team. But it´s also a lot of hard work and sometimes even frustrating enough to make you think “if we only had a bigger team…” But hey, then the budget would have been lost long ago so we just have to bust our asses to do with what we have!
Cool that you guys dug this one out in the thread-trenches!
Cheers,
Janak

Really inspiring stuff! Using digital masks instead of latex masks… well these last longer And you can really play with them. Thanks for sharing! 5 stars.

Thanks, it´s allways nice to be able to inspire other artists! Yupp, that was the whole idea you know… to stretch what´s possible to do with standard make up and to do it within a limited budget.
Cheers,
Janak

Hm, everything seems to be fine, anyone else having problems with the links?
Do you see any images in the post at all (they´re linked from our server)?

I’m downloading just fine. But say, do you have a “large”, rather than just “medium”?

Sometimes I don’t feel worthy to even comment on a clip.
It’s like an amateur doodler telling Van Gogh “good job!” after viewing one of his masterpieces.
At any rate, great job!

blz: Thanks, I´m glad to hear that you enjoyed watching the reel!
jussing: Doh! Hehe, I was just hoping for no one to ask really… So I´m afraid the answer is no. At least you have some high res stills to look at…
malfyyy: Thanks!
MissouriMedic: Hey man, don´t say that- everyone has an opinion and they´re all welcome. Well, most of them at least… yours sure is Thanks for the nice words!
Cheers,

i am a newbie and i have only one question, how did u morph the human head into a vampire’s ? I mean is the shot began with a CG head already (human incarnation but photorealistically textured and rendered ) or is the shot began with live action human shot , and gradually morph into vampire incarnation ?
if the latter how did u blend the live action and the cg elements ?

oglop: Well it depends on which shot you are refering to? The ones with the two guys struggling starts out with the real actors face and is then morphed into a full CG face (the vampire incarnation). Then it is a full CG face until it morphs back into the original footage of the actor in the end when he is knocked unconscious.
The same goes for the mirror shot.
The one with the “old” vampire transforming is a full CG head.
Anyhow, the blending of the CG and the backplate is a carefull mixture of 2d-masks created in Shake by our compositors and 3d-masks rendered out from Maya. The CG elements are then graded (color corrected) too match the backplate and voilá! Thats it, in short
Scob: Thanks man, happy to hear that you like it!
Cheers,
Janak

Janak, man how did you locked the CG head that behaves exactly like the background head plate? I know markers are used, but how is the camera matched? can this be done alone by using tracking tools like boujou? Im a newbie here I would like to know the whole process… Thanks in advance man.

Hey jigger,
Sorry for the laaate reply I´ve had a lot on my mind recently. Anyhow, please have a look at page four (4) in this thread for an answer to your question. If that doesn´t do it for you, try and elaborate your question and I´ll do my best to help you out!
Cheers,
Janak
