    Thanks for your kind words about Rorschach in Watchmen, I was the CG Supervisor for Inteligent Creature Inc in Toronto, we were responsible for all the Rorshach mask shots in the final movie. One correction I'd like to make is that you showed tests carried our in pre-production by Frantic Films (you can see their name in the top right) but we won the contract over them.
    We didn't just have 5 shapes we moved between, we animated all shots bespoke from scratch using a 2D animation setup I created in Maya.

    Hi, I’m Pat Mcclung. I was the visual effects supervisor on Dante’s Peak. There is so much to talk about in this film that I won’t go into great detail.
    This was the third show I had ever supervised, I was working at Digital Domain running the model shop and ask Jim Cameron if I could bump up to VFX Sup. He said yes. I did Sargent Bioko first, then Chain Reaction followed by Dante’s Peak.
    We were on an extremely short schedule to beat out Volcano.
    The reason it looks great is simple the crew that I had. They were the best. All the SFX including the water were supervised by Richard Stutsman, miniatures by Alan Faucher.
    There is so much to this film I would need a couple of hours to explain it all.
    It was quite a ride, 2 weeks later I started on Armageddon.

Especially the tires disintegrating with the glowing lava...

    • @patrickmcclung3
      @patrickmcclung3 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@StickHits I asked the production to use a day glow reddish paint/ goop for the practical truck to drive through. The compositors keyed the goop and changed the color and brightness along with some heat distortion to get the hot lava look. Otherwise it was all practical until the flowing CG lava at the end of the sequence. This was my third show as VFX supervisor and the goop idea was a bit of a guess as to it working. Luckily it did!
      Thanks for the interest.

    I worked on the first Harry Potter film in the model unit (miniatures) and I can tell you first hand, working on the miniatures was an absolute blast!
    We made various different scale sections of the school for close ups/fly by shots, as well as the full Hogwarts. We also made a bunch a forced perspective streets etc, and it was incredible to work on a fantasy style film that required plenty of models with such high detail.
    Even on the school windows, every single window pane was made of plastic transparency film and scored across with a pen, so any reflected light scattered in different directions to give the illusion of individual tiny panes of glass with lead piping.
    That one i know far too well as i did nearly all of them 😆

    A while back I was checking out some random costume stuff and stumbled across some of these Watchmen Rorschach masks. They had thermal-shifting dyes used in the mask that would switch between a couple different designs (each mask had 2 designs but there were 4 or 5 different configurations) depending on the temperature. So when you exhaled the temperature caused the dyes to change from normal, but would return back when you inhaled while wearing the mask. It did a really cool job of making the mask appear to shift/change while it was worn. Now when I see the Rorschach character, that mask is all I can think about

So the mask was only 1 layer of fabric and had 2 temperature variant dyes that would appear/disappear when the temperature changed between warm and cold. There's still several vendors online so just do a quick Google/Bing search for Rorschach changing masks and they'll be within the first few results.

    back in the late 90s in China, we had a show called Movie Magic on our local Movie Channel. This show, which I later found out was created by the James Camera, explains all kinds of incredible special effects in movies like Independence Day and True Lies, most of which I had never heard of back then, but I was so in love with that show. And I suddenly realize why I keep returning to your channel to watch these great videos. You guys bring me back to my good old younger days.

    Thank you for explaining the blue light problem! I've been wondering ever since Star Trek: Discovery's first season why it looked so _awful_ and now it all makes sense. I assumed it was just a very poor stylistic choice (and I suppose it may still have been intentional), but it now seems just as likely they were struggling with using digital production techniques and set/lighting designs that were incompatible.

    I noticed the odd blue lighting in the Kenobi series when I watched it, and it makes sense that it's because they shot it on digital. For comparison, the sequel trilogy was shot mostly on film, so even though they used the same blue led prop lightsaber trick that they used in Kenobi, the night scenes with the blue lightsaber (like the forest duel at the end of Ep 7) look fantastic.
