The Mask Cartoon Face Effect Recreation

Sometimes I like to go on Youtube and search up some of the effects people have managed to create themselves using 3D and Adobe Programs. Sometimes for fun and sometimes just for inspiration for stuff I'd like to do when I can find the time to sit down and experiment with the programs. 

Recently I found a wonderful video recreating a great scene from one of my favorite movies: The Mask. 

The scene in question is the iconic scene paying homage to Tex Avery's Wolf character who, stunned by Red Hot Riding Hood, proceeds to have his jaw unhinge as it falls on the table and proceeds to let his tongue roll out. 

Using Blender and After Effects, this channel called Film Riot made a near perfect recreation of that iconic moment. Perfectly capturing the expression and cartoonyness of Industrial Light and Magic's expressive VFX.



The video goes into great detail as to how they crafted this recreation and, as someone who is fully deep into Blender, I'll admit it was hard to follow. Regardless, I was still fascinated by the process. 

It's amazing the talent on display here and how this was all done via Blender.

The Opening Of Every Animated Movie (Exposition Song)

Image
Just recently I posted about my appreciation for Kevin Temmer and his work.  Well, in addition to his video "What's the matter Martha?", my second favorite video from him is a song that addresses how most animated features tend to start simply titled Exposition Song. Temmer hilariously makes fun of how most animated features tell rather than show and does it via a CG character that has a flat, 2D look to them. Temmer also uploaded his behind the scenes process of crafting this video  and getting the character at a certain angle so he could animate.  Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ffLIJrYEJ8 Link to behind the scenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV-QCIwvbDg

The Witness and Alberto Mieglo

 One of my favorite shows streaming on Netflix right now is called "Love Death and Robots"  The show, which was originally meant to be a remake of the 1981 anthology film "Heavy Metal", is an adult anthology show consisting of several animated shorts spread across each season. Each short ranges in style and tone but the overall theme of all of the shorts goes back to the title.  I remember watching the first season of the show back when it premiered in 2019. While I loved majority of the shorts, one of them that really stood out to me, visually at least, was the third short of season one: "The Witness".  "The Witness" is a thriller following a woman who witnesses a murder and is spotted by the killer. She is then pursued through the streets of Tokyo as she attempts to escape the killer.  Once separates this short from the others in that season is the distinctive style. The art style is done completely in CG and looks very much like something out
