![]() Double Negative had a neat little tool that made it easy to constrain the Tooth Fairies to the geometry of the CG doubles and it could be easily animated on and off as they landed and then took off or got hit. My memory's a bit hazy here but I think I did both Hellboy and Abe in this shot, (apologies if it was someone else). For this to work convincingly, the characters movements have to be rotoscoped onto CG doubles. It was then my job to find a series of movements that would fit the actions performed. They are lead by the actions of the actors who are miming being attacked by the creatures. The next level of Fairies had to interact with the characters, these were some of the most fun to do. '3' - a badly injured 'crawler' drags his torso forward leaving the rest of his body behind. In the centre of the picture, '2' drops off the statue into frame to draw your eye into the picture. There was a platform in the top left of frame so I placed a hero 'kicker' on there - he drops off the statue then feebly kicks himself in a circle. I populated this section of the shot with these characters, then tried to create 'hero' tooth fairies to give the viewer interesting things for their eye to settle on. This meant I could quickly and easily make the cycle look very different by removing half the fairy, or could superficially make a cycle look distinct just by removing a few legs or an arm. There were also shapes that got rid of everything but the chest, head, or hips and legs. The rigs also had a clever function - a series of blendshapes that could be dialled in to give the effect that a leg or arm was missing. The idea is that the dead insect's nerves keep his legs kicking, this drives his body round in a circle.Ĭrawler - with his legs and one arm badly injured, this fairy pulls himself along by his one good arm. Kicker - is based on an insect video I found on youtube. Twitcher - Flails around, letting out an agonising scream then finally relaxes and coils into his death pose. as best as I can remember.įace Up 1, Face Up 2 and Face Down are cycles I kept predominantly still but with some random spasms and twitches. I approached this by first creating a library of cycles that I could reuse quickly and easily to create a moving carpet of the creatures.Ībove I've named the cycles and shown how they were applied. ![]() ![]() In the first part the director Guillermo del Toro wanted the rolling statue covered in squashed Tooth Fairies, this had to then reveal a mass of dead and dying Tooth Fairies, twitching and writhing around. There were several narrative points that had to be addressed in this shot. The first half of the movie is the playblast, the second half is an early comp with basic textures and lighting, a first pass at the background 'swarm' fairies and a few of the other effects. It's from the film's 'Tooth fairy' sequence. Playblast of the Hellboy Rolling Statue from Brendan Body on Vimeo.
