that was great

its funny that when you see it like this, you notice the CG alot more.

They really did an amazing job on this film... the facial animation is awesome.

agreed, and that was a fantastic way to present the visual effects. Usually it's some asshole talking over everything, and about how wonderful they all are. I liked the simplicity and straightforwardness here.

Great link Brome! Man, I was wondering how they did it in the film. I just assumed it was some amazing makeup work and video editing. I didn't even notice the cg. It's so much more impressive to me now actually seeing the process.

yea the dope thing about the vfx in this film is its used to create something super believable and real, no crazy monsters or shit like that. I bet is was a change of pace for the FX houses, watching the film you totally buy it as either makeup or prosthetics or whatever, really amazing.

The ultimate compliment to the effects of this movie is that people have no clue how complex the stuff they're seeing really is, what it is or even THAT it is. Truly impressive. The CGTalk feature explains all the steps involved, highly recommended: http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=4848
