Hi Everyone,

Here is my entry, which is the climactic battle scene from my latest Pinhead movie, Mr. & Mrs. Pinhead

Enjoy!

Hallo 3dstory

Great cartoon battle movie. Very elaborately made​​. Especially, certain effects were used;)

Great scene. Loved the attention to details and the camerawork. Good luck!

Thank you!

I didn't want to go 'too far' (or too realistic) with the effects, otherwise it might get kicked of YouTube ;)

Pretty amazing true to life animation detail, Daniel.:)

That helicopter is exactly how helicopters land. Most if us would have just plonked it straight down on the ground (well - Me, anyway). :ermm:

How you guys with unrelated daytime jobs manage to produce such outstanding Professional stuff, beats me.

As you know, I'm not into blood 'n' guts Clips. However your PH Clip is a Pixar production. Going to have to give it top marks in the On-line Vote, I'm afraid  ;)

Hey Daniel, curious minds want to know: how did you achieve the bullet/shell casings being ejected from the (sub)machine guns?

I ask this as I just happened to do the same effect in my movie this week (which I hope to have done by the deadline) and was wondering if you did it a better way (actually yours looks better, so it IS better...)

Mine was done with a custom particle emitter.

:Wow:

@Peter - Thanks! There is only one way to produce so much work in parallel to a full time job … Pinhead obsession!

@Phil - The ejected bullet casings, muzzle flashes and the odd blood splatters were all composed in Adobe After Effects. I composed a pre-keyed video of a spinning bullet casing over the iClone footage. Then to animate the casing, I just set up two or three position keyframes, the eject location, the top of the bullet casing arc and where it might land (usually offscreen). The top arc keyframe is set to easy-easy or whatever AE keyframe type makes it look slower at the top. All the SFX footage I purchased from Video Co-Pilot (Action Essentials Pack). Look forward to seeing your battle video!

It worked really well! Nice job. Thanks for the explanation! (Back to filming for me... rush rush rush!)

One of my favorites. Your dialog is awesome.

@Daniel (3DStory),

I love that clip.

Funny lines:

  • Female assassins are hot
  • Pinhead: Where did you hide that?  Alura:  Woudn't you like to know?

Spot-on dialogue added to an excellently done video.  Great effects and cinematography.

Thanks!

Terrific sound effects and high body count. Nicely done. So where was she hiding that weapon?
By 3DStory - 12 Years Ago
Thanks everyone for you kind comments on my clip...

As for where Allura was hiding the weapon...that's a Hollywood secret ;)
