THE TRAVELER HAS COME by Michael Taflove

http://www.taflove.com

On All Hallows Eve, The Disciples of Kilgore Trout gather in an abandoned mansion to conduct a dark ritual. As the seance progresses, something goes awry - They mistakenly summon an unexpected traveler: a voracious eating-machine bent on devouring all flesh!




The raw video footage used in this piece was filmed in an actual abandoned hospital - Linda Vista Hospital in Los Angeles.

music: Nine Inch Nails - "The Downward Spiral (The Bottom)" off the album "Further Down the Spiral"


software used:
the usual: Maya, ZBrush, Boujou, After Effects, nCloth

In this piece, I experiment with addidng textures to matchmoved video footage. The ancient runes on the walls, and the graffitti and pentagram on the floor are all added textures superimeposed over the raw matchmoved video footage. I will soon upload a "making of" video to illustrate this,

Don't do anything with Slenderman, because he's not creepy and I'm sick of seeing Slenderman shit.
