When Sam Witwicky's date went all wrong... This shot is from Transformers 2. We made it at Digital Domain. It was a particularly challenging shot, because we had to blend the CG Decepticon (Alice the Pretender) with the real actress. I built the rig for this shot. I think Danny Patterson did the animation. Raul Dominguez did the concept art and model. Then there was look dev, lighting, compositing, and wrangling it all together. I think there was some Houdini in there. David S. Sanchez did the roto and plate projection. Joe Farrell and Steve Avoujageli worked some magic with thousands of FX passes and extremely difficult projection setups. Joe’s multple comp scripts were a site to behold. It takes a special combination of talent to bring together projects like this one. The producers coordinating the team have to be honest about everyone's strengths, know where to shore up weak points, and know when to let the talent run full speed ahead. There were, in some cases, 50+ revisions on various stages of this project. There was some keyboard smashing, fist pounding, and hair pulling... but it was worth it in the end. Lessons learned: you have to iterate to get it to the finish line. Some day I'll have to write an epic post about the story of the Pretender's tongue. (comment below if you worked on this shot so I can update this post)

🎬 Experience Meets Efficiency at PLS VFX 🎬 At PLS VFX, we believe in blending the best of both worlds—traditional practical effects and cutting-edge CGI—to create stunning visuals while streamlining the post-production process. In this video from Interview With The Vampire, we’re pulling back the curtain on how we capture individual elements—like blood effects—practically, instead of relying solely on CGI. By shooting these real-world details, we reduce the time and complexity of compositing, ultimately speeding up turnaround and reducing costs for our clients. This approach not only enhances realism but also delivers more efficient and cost-effective VFX solutions. 🎥 By thinking creatively and strategically about every shot, we continue to push boundaries and offer tailored solutions that suit the needs of each production. Check out the video below to see how we bring powerful visuals to life, faster and smarter. 💡 #PLSVFX #VisualEffects #PracticalEffects #CGI #CostEffectiveVFX #InnovationInVFX #Filmmaking #PostProduction #VFXCommunity #AnneRice #InterviewWithTheVampire #IWTV https://lnkd.in/gWVmae_4

👹🎥 Crafted with precision, using Cinema 4D,Redshift Render and Adobe After Effects, this project was all about pushing boundaries and honing my skills. An example of my abilities to create a complete 3d commercial video by myself, participating in all areas to get this result. #cgi #motiondesign #3d #design #3drender #redshift3d #c4d #cinematic

A very informative video about VFX with a focus on compositing. Useful for anyone intending to get into the industry, or for showing family who have no idea what it is we do! 😄 https://lnkd.in/e2VwqrFf

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Visual effects (sometimes abbreviated VFX) is the process by which imagery is created or manipulated outside the context of a live-action shot in filmmaking and video production. The integration of live-action footage and other live-action footage or CGI elements to create realistic imagery is called VFX. VFX involves the integration of live-action footage (which may include in-camera special effects) and generated-imagery (digital or optics, animals or creatures) which look realistic, but would be dangerous, expensive, impractical, time-consuming or impossible to capture on film. Visual effects using computer-generated imagery (CGI) have more recently become accessible to the independent filmmaker with the introduction of affordable and relatively easy-to-use animation and compositing software.
