The Runner - VFX R&D (02) - Action Essentials test 03
Loading...
Uploaded by hapmoriarty on Aug 3, 2009
Yet another bit of visual fx development before we commence production on The Runner. This time the challenge was to completely replace the background and then build up a war zone. Rotoscoping took the better part of 4 hours and the rest of the work took the rest of the day.
This is the third test i've completed using my newly acquired 'Action Essentials 2' pack from Andrew Kramer and the crew at Video Co-Pilot. Thanks to those guys for providing some pretty incredible and easy to use elements.
More coming soon. This was test 03, so i'll be posting breakdowns of 1 and 2 (and the shots of course!) soon enough. Who knows what might get filmed next week :)

@lhtdihsl Hi there, Action Essentials 2 is a collection of elements that you use in your shots. To composite you'll need something like After Effects (which is what I used here), but there are other programs out there too.

Absolutely amazing, my only critque is that the helmet looks a little feathered from the rotoscoping, but i'm sure it was a pain in the ass to do.
This goes to show you that with little props and budget, you can make a killer athmosphere and style.
I'll be watching you! (not in a creepy sense)
Keep up the killer work.

@MrKlay Thanks! It's a fair critique. I even forgot to roto inbetween the scope and the rifle, but in my defence, I spent less than 8 hours on the whole shot (filming and compositing) as a test to see how many shots I could feasibly do for a short film.
Thanks again for the comment
