Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Ricardo Tobon

#21

This is a quick composition block out that Pedro Flores did with one of the preliminary shoot images. This quick block-out is meant to help us figure out cinematography, color scheme and feel for the piece.

#22

Here is an image of the progress of the physical Rocket Pack prop. The prop is being built by Dave Wolgemuth.

#23

Here are some finished steampunk props for the Icarus Costume. The goggles where done by Judha Konigsberg and the knee pads by Marcus Scarsella.

Thanks to everyone that has been following this thread!
Here are a few more images from our primary shoot.

#34

Looks awesome! But damn…she’s gotta be sweltering in all that gear!

#35

This looks amazing, looks so professional, does the equipment belong to you or have you hired it, or do you work for a film company?

#36

The performer did get a little hot in the costume.

Fortunately Dave Wolgermuth did a great job designing and building the jetpack so most of it is hollow. This makes it somewhat light for the performer to carry.

Also, we where very lucky to have really nice weather during the shoot. It was very sunny but the temperature was not too high. This is the advantage of shooting in January. The disadvantage whatsoever was the light went down pretty quick.

The equipment was borrowed from the University.

Thanks for the encouraging words everyone!!!

Here is the digital stunt double of Alex Restrepo. The model was sculpted by Jorge Mussi.

It is a big and complex project you are doing, guys!
progress is looking very good.
Do you have any integrated shots yet? There is very little time left. Not to stress you… :slight_smile:
I have a little comment to your digital double: her arm pits are pinched very high up. I guess it’s a result of joint deformation from the modeled t-pose. I would suggest bringing clavicle just a little down and modeling a corrective blednshape to bring that area down and natural.
But then it depends on how you are going to use your double - if it’s a distance shot then don’t use your time on it :slight_smile:

Good luck finishing!
