Just a small glimpse of of the rendered CGI arm in two shots today, with the final 16:9 widescreen cropping the rest of the film will have. Now that we've got it all modelled, rigged and set up, I'm sort of kicking myself that there isn't much of it in the film.

Neither of these are in their final rendered version yet, but close to it.

VIDEO: Windows Media version - Quicktime version

Production on this is now stepping up a pace. Today, I'm travelling to Liverpool to start a week-long marathon of working on this film. Some of the more complicated rotoscoping is nearing completion.

The cloning is done through a combination of frame-by-frame masking and bluescreen chroma-keying, to varying degrees depending on the shot.

Cool job. I like it. Just needs more steps rendered in the motion blur so it's not so jagged.

Agreed. I'll up it to 15 passes in mental ray for the final render.

I'll see about updating the links later on. They were only crappy Yousendit links because I have trouble accessing my FTP from where I currently am, but I'll be using a better connection by tonight :)

all the effort you've put into cloning and cgi and you couldn't make a half descent bullet hit on that guy

sorry, please re-do it, really liking your work, its just that screen shot really caught my eye and looked really amateurish

You're absolutely right. I always hated that - it's a consequence of the Detfilms bloodstock and the transfer mode I'm using. I've got some better footage and particle stuff now, so that's one small detail that'll definitely be revised.

One of the big problems I'm having with this project now is, because it's been in post for over a year now, I find myself looking at the older shots (like the aforementioned wound shot) and thinking "christ, I could do a lot better now", so I'm torn between taking more time and redoing some stuff and trying to get the film out. It's coming within the next few months, though.

if your at the point of wanting to redo the older parts, just pick one or two to redo the worst ones and then do them at the end of post and put it out.
