Surfer effects... Not as hard as we thought?

[Noir]

Okay, first off let me say that I love the way the Surfer looks I think its great looking I'm not bashing the way he looks..

Now, when you were watching some of that chase scene did you ever get the feeling that it reminded you alot of the Caprisun commericals? I mean, Those things have been on for years do you think that WTA may have used some of that software?

We compared the Caprisun commercials to the Surfer a few years back on this very forum.

I dont know...the commercials may have given the powers that be at Fox the incentive to pursue using the Surfer in an FF sequel, but from what ive seen so far the fx used on the Surfer seem light years ahead, imo.

^^ hmmmm maybe I can find a youtube, capri sun commercial as i am not sure what everyone is talking about.

Well Herc Destin posted some silver surfer work that shows us what can be done by second tier effects houses and it was nice for the amount of time he put into it. I am waiting to see it fully animated.

however I love what weta has done, I don't think it can get any better.

The surfer looks human and yet not quite normal.

He looks alien and his movement and everything looks quite good.

So as to the look of the surfer that is a look that can be checked off.

Thing looks much better on rockyness, not so much the brow, I say just give us the later kirby brow and be done with it. However I think I know what they are doing now and like Story I won't give it away.

Now we await Doom and Galactus. I am not too worried about the look of Doom, but Galactus hmmm.

Hey they are doing a FF2 game comes out in June. Now I think it only makes sense for Galacatus in that game to look like the UA design. That is called branding. Notice that the thing in that game looks like the thing in the FF movies.

I think that is how Galactus will look like the one in UA, its logical.

So to Tim Story, my man

MAKE IT SO

Who cares, I say we are allowed to get off topic as much as you want! I started the thread..

Strykes.. Whats with you the names lately?

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

I remember those commercials, and yeah the Surfer effects are simular, but I think the T2 effects came before the Capri Sun effects and that was what '92.

Metallic surfaces are much easier to do than flesh or organic matter, so the tecnology was perfected pretty early in CGI technology. The T-1000 in T2 still holds up today.

You what the thread?

Black Lightning was actually a name I almost took. But considering how supersensitive and immature some of the Hypsesters are here, we thought it'd be a bit much--me being a man of color and all. "He's racist!"

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ Who cares what people think it's racist for people to even think that way.

"WE" ?!?
What, was there a shareholders meeting about it?

 

[Visionary]

Weird off topic thread...

 

[TheShadowCat]

And all I did was ask if he was having an identity crisis. *snicker* Threads are so much fun to play with.

[GhostPoet]

One of my favorite touches to the Surfers movements is when he phases through his board upside down and looks at the Surfer behind him. It seems very alien as opposed to simple standing there and turning around on his board.
