How Realistic Animatronics Are Made For Movies & TV – Insider

Thursday | 2022 03 31 |

Spectral Motion has been making animatronic puppets for movies and TV shows since 2002. Even if they don’t fully end up in the final shot, they can make for great references for both visual effects artists and the actors in front of the camera. Spectral Motion’s head of animatronics, Mark Setrakian, takes the characters sculpted and painted by the company’s artists and gives them the most realistic movements possible. This has included making giant troll hands compress and handle objects for “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters,” manipulating robotic bits and foam skin to make a wolflike snarl for “Lady in the Water,” and making the Demogorgon’s face petals move on the first season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” Advancements in technology allowed Spectral Motion to push the kinds of terrifying movements it gave to the animatronic White Spike puppet who would be acting alongside Chris Pratt and Yvonne Strahovski in “The Tomorrow War.”

Roohi – Redchillies VFX

Saturday | 2022 03 19 |

One of our most prized works in 2020, Roohi was a challenging project, given that it happened in the heart of the pandemic. Thanks to our dedicated and talented team, our work from home model #RCWoho made it possible to achieve our imagined results. The movie is beautifully enhanced with various visual effects. The major one is the facework of Janhvi Kapoor, with protruding veins, multiple eye retinas and a ghastly look to do justice to the character. Also, building the world of Roohi was a delight of its own. With derelict dark forests and mountains, the end result is a wonderful mix of practical and visual effects. Thanks to our colour team at Redchillies.color, everything merged together to look so visually striking! We hope that you enjoy seeing our work.

Porsche – Godspeed

Wednesday | 2022 03 16 |

GODSPEED is my personal project that i created completely from scratch. It was a great time working for this as there was lot of trial and errors, lot of learning, problem solving etc that really took me to next level and it was a great experience for me. It took me couple of months to finally finish it since i was working in this project only in my free time. I chose Porsche because it’s one of my favorite car and i love the design very much.

softwares used to create this include Maya for modeling and animation, substance painter for texturing, Speedtree for creating trees and bushes etc, Houdini for assembling the scene and for FX, rendering was done in maya with Arnold, Nuke for compositing and Davinci for final editing and color grading.
It was a big task for me.
Hope you all like it
