WE ALL SCREAM: An Action VFX Short Film
Переглядів 6194 роки тому
There's a story behind this one... About nine years ago, while I was working on RIPD in Boston, I bought a Canon 5D MII. One weekend I flew home to visit the family, and shot a short film. When I got back to finish the show, work got crazy busy, and a couple of months went by where I didn't have the opportunity to play with what I had shot... and in the interim, I LOST THE FOOTAGE. Then, two we...
The Quarantine Blues

This is actually more experiment and a way to stay busy during lockdown than short film. The Covid-19 Quarantine interrupted filming on THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER and, after months and months of nonstop work on that project, I had nothing to do... so I wanted to experiment with things that weren't typically part of my workflow. Hair simulation, subsurface scattering, and, of course, to p...

First motion capture test using @hellorokoko smartsuit pro and @maxonc4d shot using the @djiglobal Action Cam. I shot the A side of the fight with a witness camera, then played back that footage and timed my movement for the B side of the fight. Some post-mocap manipulation in C4D to get all the strikes to line up. Decent test - and I learned a ton. Onwards and upwards!

When I got into the stunt industry, I was already a CG/VFX hobbyist.

The last several years, I’ve focused more and more on honing that skillset in a very specialized way: figuring out how to get my VFX t...

Also could you point me in the direction for good tutorials for cinematics in unreal? Thanks

    For years I have been searching for this kind of info, specifically from the stunt choreography end. You are the only one that I have found. I've been using intelligent ragdoll simulation with program called Endorphin so I wanted to do Digital Doubles with Pre-Vis and Mocap. However it's not easy to come up with ideas and choreography when you dont' know stunts. After years, I'm becoming more accustomed to it since I"m starting to write scripts, and Storyboards. I would love to see how you come up with choreography for fight scenes. I bought a OptiTrack mocap system when they first came out in 2008 but wound up using Vicon at a mocap lab. I edit in MotionBuilder and starting to use Houdini. I would have liked to get into that business but it seems so specialized and hands on. However, if I can be of assistance let me know. Thanks.
