zandoriastudios Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Here' another work-in-progress from the movie "Miss Cast Away". The background of Noah's Ark is unfinished, but the Swinosaur and his dinner are done http://www.zandoria.com/castaway/X156.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lium Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Awesome ! Oh man that should of happened to him on the show. Great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 So that was Joe Millionaire!? Outrageous funny! Can you have the Swinosaur visit a few more of these "reality" stars!? The only thing that caught my eye, is when the Swinosaur first enters the scene. The walk seems to be somwhat erratic, or jumpy. I hope I explained it properly...no disrespect meant. As always, simply great work Will!!! When will this prj be completed? Looking forward to it. As well as your Balrog!!!!! Hint...hint...

Mike Lium Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Can you have the Swinosaur visit a few more of these "reality" stars!? Im for That William you should use the Swinosaur like the old Vaudville Hook and make a series out of it . Id watch it " Worlds Funniest Swinosaur Tidbits " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obnomauk Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Well I need to get broadband, but knowing that if mr sutton posted it it would be well worth it I just bit the bullet glad I did, great work. -David Rogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevenar Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Great stuff! I laughed out loud! I think I see what Mega is talking about. The walk cycle when Swiny makes the right turn towards Joe has a hitch in it. On the plus side, you did an outstanding job on the foot plant/pivot action. Almost like you mo-capped a real T. rex... Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandoriastudios Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 Thanks! for the feedback! The director has now decided that he just wants the swinosaur to come into frame from the side and snatch up Joe Millionaire at a certain point in the dialog. So I'll have to redo the camera angle and then I will spend a little more time with the feet dangling out of the swinosaur's mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacktaich Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 So the guy from Joe Millionaire worked on the project. MJ worked on it. Who else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandoriastudios Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 Eric Roberts is one of the other characters. Some baywatch types... you can see the cast pictures at http://www.misscastaway.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisThom Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I don't know if it was just me but the version that I saw had no sound. And not to critique too much but I did notice a good bit of the old foot slide going on when the creature was walking. Also, I'm curious how a guy from Chattanooga got hooked up with this production.

zandoriastudios Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 Also, I'm curious how a guy from Chattanooga got hooked up with this production. must be the power of the internet... You hear of all these VFX jobs going east, usually to India... But not always, this time to the South East I think the foot looks like it's sliding because the Path is making a tight turn, so the cycle is skidding a bit. It probably wouldn't be noticeable with the nighttime background behind it. Now it doesn't matter since I have to alter the camera so that the swinosaur comes in from the side suddenly and then pans up to watch the feet dangling. There was no sound on the clip I posted, to save space. The dialog wouldn't be helpful since there would be no context for it to make sense...

Ross Smith Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 The Swinosaurus is of admirable make -- ninja-grade work, I dare say. -- Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 will, looking at the last few frames, the hooves seem a little flat and/or untextured. it's nothing an audience will see, but it stood out to me in an otherwise very believable model! -jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisThom Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 But not always, this time to the South East That's interesting because I'm here in Nashville so there's hope for some good work out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandoriastudios Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 OK heres another go of it: http://www.zandoria.com/castaway/X156.mov The director had me change the attack so that the swinosaur comes in suddenly from the side. There is a temporary background of the ark (but I will have to still composite some palm trees into the plate.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lium Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 :lol: Very funny I love the legs at the end I do notice that parts of the left side of his head seems to get lost in places almost looks like the Arc takes pieces out. does that make any sense ? I dont explain things very well I truly love it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandoriastudios Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 It's the keying from the bluescreen. I will do some touch up to the matte before the final version, but probably not till the end. You can see a couple of spots in the face shadows too if you step it frame by frame...
