A Week for Replacing Things

Greetings, one and all! This week has been a fascinating slog. First off, we synced Hunter's dialogue, and processed it to sound like it was coming through a speaker in his helmet.


Second, there was the little situation of a blinking corpse. What with using real people for our casualties, it's no surprise if they can't keep their eyes open and staring through an entire scene. However, this blink happened right behind our lead, and so had to be addressed. Motion tracking didn't work, so I hand animated the replacement eyeball over the actor's original blink, and melded it into the post-blink stare.


I would say mission accomplished, on that one.
Last but not least, I realized the composition of a scene was gravely lacking, and so began the tedious process of rotoscoping out the one actor, in preparation for re-integrating them into new footage.


We shall see how that goes, in the long run.
It is also with great pleasure that I announce that our BTS team has finished their first video! We will be reviewing it on Friday, and deciding how and when to release it.

In other news, yesterday marked the five year anniversary of the release of the first episode of Gatewalkers! My, how time flies...

Well, that's about all for this week. Until next time!
