Gunshot test 2

[LeDoyle666]

Headshot  +100 Lol.

[KevinKommedyTV]

Look at the blood splatter on the pantry...it expands and goes back down

[thewhitetroll]

Aaaaaaand action....

[AGuyx978]

Look what you did!He's hindu now..No offense to you hindus out there

[LABROSkris1]

with which program did you made it???????

[dom10alienforce]

headshot!!!! MEGA KILL!!!!

[TheShockingPepper]

cool

[superspartan11]

are you sure this is fake? lol

[ThiisIsMyBOOOMSTICK]

what did you use to make this?

[MC5Productions]

lol, And Action..........

[MC5Productions]

lol the bullet hit on his head moves, did u motion track it, or move it frame by frame??

[StillFramePictures]

@MC5Productions frame by frame. There was nothing solid to track to, so a motion track fared even worse.

[MC5Productions]

@StillFramePictures ahhhhh, If U Couldnt Track, U SHulda Made A Bllod Splat On The Actors Head In Real Life Not Virtually, But Not A Big Deal, It Isnt That Noticable!!!!

[StillFramePictures]

@MC5Productions I was testing to see if all the effects could be composited digitally, just starting out with a completely blood-free plate. That part of the test did not work so well, so it wasn't used in the real film. That's why effects artists test things before spending the studio's money on the real thing!

[forgottenbow]

@StillFramePictures Fail, lol. You motion track in AE don't you? lol...

Learn to use Mocha kiddo.

[StillFramePictures]

@forgottenbow At the time when I did this test, all I had was the tracker in Motion. Now I use Boujou, PF Track, and Matchmover, in addition to the trackers in Motion and Shake. I've never heard of Mocha. It really doesn't matter anyway, since I'm years beyond this project. Again, it was only a test, and it proved exactly what it needed to.

[donbear1983]

@StillFramePictures Yeah, who gives a damn how he got it done--it looks entirely realistic (minus the stupid air soft gun)

[sk8tafrnk]

@StillFramePictures When people get shot in the head they drop straight down the second the shot hits their head. Then they kinda fall back when they hit the ground.

Also, when people get shot in the head, then make kind of like a labored, growling exhale. The blood effect looked really cool.

[Alex2013Fifa]

nice

[tayniggah]

throw in some sound effect

[srs123321]

(shoot)  HEADSHOT

[srs123321]

HEADSHOT

[kennypawns]

i know about the compressed air and stuff but how do u get that red dot on the forehead?

[randy7027]

yeah how exactly do u do this..? Kinda confusing

[StillFramePictures]

Record your blood splatter (compressed air and fake blood) against a solid colored surface you can chroma or luma key. Then, record your actors in your scene. Keep the camera movement to a minimum if you are just learning how to do effects. In your compositing program, motion track the blood footage to your background. Then, key the blood footage so you just have the splatter remaining. Last, rotoscope the blood footage frame by frame so it appears behind you actor. Easy!

[StillFramePictures]

And if all that still seems too confusing, then your best option is to just rig a tube filled with fake blood on your actor, and then shoot it out with a QUICK burst of compressed air. I used a CO2 tank with a manual valve.

[andrewmorgan44]

awsome

[djmax08]

GOOOOOD!!!!

[HOMEgrownALIENS]

that was good. could you check out mine and tell me what you think? thanks

[Pivot1king]

The victim looks like Colt McCoy, lol.

[F0RCE1]

Nice!

[dmitch73]

nice but what programs u use?

[StillFramePictures]

It was composited in Motion 3, part of Apple's Final Cut Studio package. Any compositing program with keying and match moving could do it though. The blood splatter was recorded practically, and then motion tracked into the footage with the "actors."

[uvninja]

wow.. how tha hell.. explantation please!!

[NerfWolfPictures]

eeew

[bubba0slipknot]

how did u do that

[TheLolcast]

That was actually pretty epic.

[moopig101]

i bet your parents were angry to find a stained kitchen cupboard lol

[macrent2]

Now the real test is how to dispose of the body!

[Mineman382]

amasing

[jmk0309]

owned! n00b!

[xy274]

hahaha funny

[ericvader8]

how'd you make the blood spray effect?

[Hypersup]

sweet

[willierobbinslll]

That was bad guys! I liked that.

[tocxer]

awesome effects

[theneverender75]

cool

[11sherwell11]

cool! the only thing is the blood whens he falls down it sort of blinks

[StillFramePictures]

The original blood footage was done handheld (unfortunately), so I had to stabilize that footage before I could composite it. Since there was nothing solid in that footage for the stabilize feature to lock onto, it could not do as well, hence the flicker. See my "Gunshot test 1" video for the original blood footage.

[alterdkyle]

yea it was still way awesome tho man. Redone with a tripod, it could be perfect.

[KINGSHACKOLA]

dude! this is freakin amazing! professional indeed :P

[offaboff]

what program are you using?

[StillFramePictures]

Apple's Motion 3 (Final Cut Studio)

[verq2909]

Nice, but there is not alot of blood when you shootin somebody in the head.

[StillFramePictures]

It's all about suspension of disbelief. Most people don't realize that, so you show them what they imagine it would be like, and they are more likely to believe it's real.

[verq2909]

Agree, thats why there are liters of blood in FPS games.

[ThaSimpsons321]

nice effects but the blood blinking when he falls

[jackooisawsome]

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!

[jezz123kid]

cool

[StillFramePictures]

That sounds similar to what detonationfilms(dot)com does. Stock footage for effects compositing. It's great for indy filmmaking, but you are learning to be professional, you have to be able to create your own effects.

[StillFramePictures]

Never heard of it. I used Apple's Motion 3 for compositing and created all the layers from scratch.

[ZronZ]

finally an after effects gunshot vid that actually looked real :)

[chaparro212]

OH MY GOD IT LOOKED SO rEAL!

[Veggie449]

Malcolm in teh middle!!

[Jecool242]

[devilmike04]

wat software did you use??

[rcodenbach]

[faisalwwe]

that was nice braw!

[viplovem]

hOW DID U DO THAT? please reply

[kurkkuz]

[gene094]

it will be funny if that was real..

[WWENBA95]

OMG What An Amazing Effect 5/5 Time to Sub

[GrumpyOldChap]

Wow! That looks SO real. For a momenr i thought you really shot that guy.

[vfxworld]

Good compositing work!

It looks really good.

[RABBITSMOGET]

good !! looks real =)

[chaOsMastaGuru]

tracking wasn't so great, but the overall effect was nice...

[BROKENHOUSEFILMS]

cool

[veyr0n1]

Nice...

[LBJohn15]

that ws mad realistic cool

[Daddysmonsters]

It's not likely to happen here but I've been around the "Scene" since before you little axxolites have moved into your moms basements, and trust me Feds are indeed everywhere. It was a harsh warning, but since you've proven yourself to be a complete twat..forget I said anything and please continuue to announce to the world that you have infringed upon copyright laws, and enjoy your day.

[sergantjohnson]

how did u do that?

[yairoka]

how the hell did you make that realistic animation? could you tell me a bit? :P maybe how the program is called..? :) thanks!

[StillFramePictures]

It was composited in Apple's Motion 3, but just about any descent compositing program could do it. See "Gunshot Test 1" for details on the blood itself.

[alexfxhome]

how do you get that blood looking so good?

[klb2000000]

With a gun blowback and a muzzle flash it would have been perfect.

[absolutezero10]

holly shit that was fucking awesoume now i dont get it how dose the capsule or what evergo through his head and on to the capanet

[LimaBeanFilms]

amazing

[slyfox2014]

Excellent roller and fine effects!

[Kholberg94]

you should make a how to video.

[fatmcnugget]

that was cool!!!! check out my mp5 muzzleflash test :D

[hbpy2k]

Great effect - - I love it!!!!!

[deltaboy123]

that was sick... not just get a real gun :-)

[AEKproductions]

can ya make this a plug in for after effects?

[StillFramePictures]

After Effects could actually do this effect easier on its own. I just can't afford it, so I use Motion 3 (Apple).

[AEKproductions]

but u recon u culd send me the blood if i gave u my msn?

[tucci06]

man you can get after effects free, as well as the plugins...just search it on youtube lol. i downloaded all the plugins from torrents.

[StillFramePictures]

I'm sure you can. I prefer to work legally though, especially now that I do this stuff professionally.

[tucci06]

lol i suppose but it's almost too easy and discrete NOT to do it if you got the talent for it, but whatever floats your boat i guess.(i like to save thousands of dollars, personally) btw very nice job.

[Daddysmonsters]

Way to announce it to the world you stupid fucker. Hello? law enforcment? yes I would like to inform you that I am a drug dealer. Yeah I'll be home all day, take your time.

[tucci06]

wow replying to a post from 4 months ago, nice. and yeah i'm sure they'll track me down from a user name on youtube for saying i'm doing something that is ALL OVER YOUTUBE WITH COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE IT. dumb.ass. piratebay would have been shut down already if it was as serious as you think.

[Daddysmonsters]

Pirate bay was raided and have dodged bullets due to swiss law and popular opinion that the RIAA/MPAA being American have no business calling shots in their country. The analogy however nice, is not relative, this is youtube not piratebay. And please ease up on the caps lock, I get the overcompensation complex and having a small penis is a sad thing but it doesn't make that any less annoying.

[needle01]

i dont know how to use green screen yet but that was awsome

[StillFramePictures]

No greenscreen here. Just rotoscoping.

[halochief2]

awsome that was awsome 5/5

[29GERRARD29]

omg! that shit is sweet as hell!

[gilesreb]

best one ive seen yet

[defaktoo]

good

[alterdkyle]

that was absolutely amazing

[GodzillaMayham]

lol awsome

[jumpinbunny]

holy shit! nice

[firess009]

that was fucking cool!!

[StillFramePictures]

The blood was recorded separately (see "Gunshot test 1"), and then composited using Motion, which is a program with Apple's Final Cut Studio package.

[hood172]

wow i could use that in my videos what did you use
