In Response To: Re: Console Wars Episode 2. (Chairleg Productions)


: Thanks! (Thanks for all the positive coments too of course!) Glad to here you
: think so.

: The effectiveness of the effect is, sadly, its work-intensive simplicity. It
: is literally an unlucky photoshopper manually rotoscoping (outlining it by
: hand, frame by frame) a scarab from 'The Storm' before pasting/colour
: correcting it into a photoshop composite (these days we'd combine this
: with After Effects and masking). At some point soon I'll try and post some
: illustrative examples of some of the crazier effects.

: I think we spent a good hour trying to get the scarab to walk at the camera
: without firing whilst also having a good, consistent blue sky behind it so
: the rotoscopper (ist?) could use the magic wand tool to select the
: background. Sometimes however it was just a case of manually erasing the
: sky/ground around it.

: That's what happens when someone suggests, 'Hey, wouldn't it be neat if we
: have Scarabs instead of Imperial Walkers!?'
Oh dude I know how tough that is. When I first started rotoscoping, it was through that method. Not to that extent, but that concept. Still all that hard work certainly paid off!
