News a Safe Harbor blog X-Dof Used in Blade: Trinity 0 Posted by Safe Harbor Staff January 14, 2005 If you enjoy this post, please share it! Burrell and his team started practically. "Since we had to show the viral cells overtaking healthy ones, we viewed miles of medical footage to get an idea of what the process actually looks like. And, since the shot was to begin inside the main vampire and work it's way out, we also gave ourselves an anatomy lesson. The goal was to create something fantastic, but based in the realistic, to forcefully drive the story." "We applied this technique to the viral cells. Zoomed in, you see them working and moving, pulled back, it's like a mist floating through the air, and the surrounding action takes focus. We made heavy use of the X-Dof plug-in for Lightwave, which diminishes the depth of field when going macro, which is how true macro looks. Again, it's taking something visually fantastic, and applying a realistic, practical look and feel," said Burrell. After the smoke cleared, and the sequence was completed, director David Goyer, impressed with the results, sent Burrell a thank you card. "That may have been the first time that's ever happened," said Burrell. "He thanked us for creating a 'truly haunting and creepy' sequence. Which, is great, and was the intention, although sometimes you lose sight of that, hunched over computers." 0 responses to "X-Dof Used in Blade: Trinity" Leave a comment You can use select BBCode tags to format your thoughts including: [b], [i], [s], [u], [url], [quote] and [code].
