“Night watch”: how to create visual effects Russian fantasy
The authors of “the guardians” promise that apart from the usual species of blood suckers – vampires, vampires and werewolves – viewers will meet with characters from Russian folklore: brownies, sprites and mermaids. Many of these fabulous beings were created with the help of modern computer technology.
Specialist in computer graphics Alexander Lipilin spoke in detail about how was it working on the main villain of this story:the highlight of the movie is vampires. Here, we worked very closely with the makeup. When vampires are transformed, where we come in. As to make up the cast right in the frame is not possible, and with the help of animation you can easily carry out the transformation of man into a vampire. Our main antagonist Ancol – just been cooped up in a coffin 140 years. When he crawls out, then it is clearly not in his best form. We have prepared the makeup for the actor with markers, for which we would then be able to grasp and bind to it our three-dimensional model. As a result, we try just like in the movie “Avatar” by James Cameron to maintain all the nuances of the acting, but the face in this case is completely replaced by digital makeup”.
