Did some greenscreening yesterday and doing my take on the Vertigo dream sequence with Del.

I'll tweek the colors and contrast a bit later but you get the gist. Next weekend shooting some stuff for the guys...very hot!

It was a bit grueling and went into the wee hours but we got some fantastic stuff.

I just had to post this frame grab because I love the texture of the creature. It's a shot from a quick animation at the beginning of the film so you don't really get to notice the detail.

It's funny because I tried to add digital wetness to the texture (I like to make things slimy) but like in real life it just sucked it up. You can tell what the texture would feel like if you ran your fingers over it.

I won a little recognition for my first frame of Insectula (actually it's about the 20th frame) on Cornucopia3d.com, a site run by the makers of the software I use. Got the "Cream of the Crop" award, which is cool because they generally only recognize pretty sweet images.

They asked if I wanted to do a tutorial on how I did it but there really isn't any good payoff. See how I won't work for free but expect everyone else to?
