Resident Evil: Afterlife - Milla Jovovich [A Drawing by Karthik Abhiram]

The trailer for "Resident Evil: Afterlife" came out a few days ago, and I was quite inspired by it, so did this drawing of Milla Jovovich from the movie. Reference image used is a screenshot from the trailer, the drawing was done on paper in pencil (HB and 6B) and then coloured in Photoshop. Done over the course of a night & day.

Like many of my previous videos, the footage is recorded with my Nokia N82 cellphone (a lot of it shot handheld, hence the shaky cam effect), and edited in Windows Movie Maker. Most of the footage is at double speed here. Like a couple of my earlier videos, the video remains in black & white till the time the picture is coloured!

"Resident Evil: Afterlife" will be released on September 10 (even in India). I want to see this, seeing as how I enjoyed the previous 3 entries in the series. This is directed by Paul W S Anderson and will be in 3D (employing apparently the same technology developed for "Avatar" by James Cameron).

Music in my video is a track called "Iron Cathedral (e3m8)" by Prophecy from the remix album "The Dark Side of Phobos", which is available from http://doom.ocremix.org.

I used a custom contrast effect for Movie Maker (150% contrast in the B&W shots): http://movies.blainesville.com/2007/08/custom-contrast-effects-for-movie-make...

Whew. I don't think you'll get this much behind-the-scenes information in many other videos :)

what progrsm did you use to add the finishing toutches and where can I get it?

[karthikabhiram]

@BlackRoseS09able It's mentioned in the video description... I used Windows Movie Maker to edit the video (the one available by default with Windows Vista). In some of the shots I used a custom contrast effect.

man the way you draw is so freakin awesome! I wish i could draw like that.

[karthikabhiram]

@my89tube Thanks... though it's not perfect... and keep in mind, the editing makes the process more interesting than it actually is :)

[TheeOneWhoTalks]

Have you seen it yet?! If so thoughts? I liked it, fun movie. And it had some really amazing action scenes, this pry sounds weird to say, but not for this movie, I think they should've had less talkage, and more action, though I was still mostly satisfied.
