hi guys that looked so cool! :P Im a young director/ writer and i was really intrested to know how you would go about editing the wires out of the shot in production. Its probably a really stupid question lol soz but i just cant seem to find the answer anywhere. Would you need expensive CGI? Cheers

There are 2 different ways to do it, and sometimes you can combine both ways...

[grahamdavid]

1) You use wire removal feature in Adobe After Effects, which you basically keyframe a line over the wire and AE will mirror a little to the left and a little to the right, covering up the wire (cable works best cuz its thinner and in sunlight sometimes cant even be seen)...or ... 2) Film with the camera locked on a tripod, film your wire stunts, then move everthing out of the way so as to get a blank scene, then you mask (or layer) part of the empty scene over the wires in the action scene.

the materials used to make the contrapment, can I buy it at my local house ware stores or sport shops? Think it's possible of guys to make a tutorial on how to assemble it?

[grahamdavid]

yeah, better tutorial coming up soon...including buying the materials...

[fxworld]

hey how did you create this.please reply back. and tell the total cost

[grahamdavid]

lets see: PVC pipe $1.00, climbing(rappelling rope) or any strong rope $40.00(depending on length/quality), 2 pulleys(can be cheap & strong)$20,homemade harness using frieght belts or long velcro/vinyl secured with duct tape $10. We already had this stuff laying around, so we only bought duct tape. Oh yeah, we used couch cushions for when training. Remember to resecure everything after doing several flips or twists because those weaken the ropes and connections or buy some swivels.

hey guys great stuff just wondering where the tutorial on how to make it is? id really love to make one for a short film im making, thanks!

[Braedanlee12]

This is just what I've been trying to make for upcoming xena movie. My parents aren't convinced it is very safe, but I've already bought some wire. I still need to buy a harness and a pulley and stuff. Did you guys just attach the wire to a tree? I'm not sure how to set up the pulley to the tree, do you have any tips on how to do that?

Thank you!!
