The Watchmen Rorschach Mask Effect Build

when I searched for the inkblot all I found was a blank page with just inkblot written on the top ........................................... what de fuckin hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I followed your instructions exactly, I'm gonna sue you!

why didn't you just project the ink blot on to the actor's real face (with the mask on of coarse!

do deadpool make like at the end of x men origons

i was wondering if you could make a dr mannhatten explosion

where is the inkblot download?????

yeah hi erik um those inkblot downloads i cant find them and i have a windows vista computer . can you send me them by my email.oh you show do a rorschach grapple gun video so i can make that to go with the costume.thanks. rorschachdude#1

where is the inkblot animation download?

If you have the software, consider doing a head replacement... use the indymogul animated inkblots as an animated texture. Have your actor wear a green hood and no hat(for easier compositing), then use a digital head and fedora. I wish I had the time to try it out both ways.

hey indy mogul i am a big fan of your show and can you make a grappling gun!

Great stuff, I may have missed this somewhere, but does anyone know how to get a glowing effect like they do on Dr. Manhattan? I'm not too great with special effects....

thnx i was 1 of the ppl that requested it on forums. good job and stuff!

To me it seems like it would be easier to just use the inkblot stock footage directly on the footage of your actor. Maybe motion track it if you have the ability. Using the projector and the dummy head seems like extra work to me.

Ya know, there's a different, but much more complicated, way to do this. Make a custom mask that's white with a basic rorschach on it and under the white put black rubber strings and under the black put white rubber strings then when your actor moves his or her face, the fabric will strech and reveal the rubber creating all kinds of cool patterns. Like I said, complex.

Give the IndyMogul crew some credit, okay. It's their job to take an amazing effect and brainstorm ways to make it from one trip to Walmart. Then they have to shoot and edit this and get tons of comments about it being a day late. Relax, there are tons of other people who would love to try cheap movie effect tutorials.

This is one of those effects I'd want to mix and match different effects. Some shots do it this way. Maybe for some shots project right on the actor's face. In others have the actor wear a mask with the markings already on there. One idea I toyed with was make a mask with a red splotch, a blue splotch and a green splotch. Then in post, you can filter out each colour in turn and desaturate the result.

You do realize that you posted this a day late right?

Is the test film gonna be on tonight, or should I stop checking the website?

Awesome build! What were those "filters" that you used to give it that look though? The one's after chroma and luma key.

One of the best builds ever, up there with stunt dummy and the Sweeney Todd chair.

I guess I agree with BlueDudesStudios. He does have a point. Anyways nice episode erik, I love that effect. -$-MiTAsFo-$-

This is a great build, but I'd rather just make a mask, and not use a projector..

Couldn't you complete the sam effect by just tracking the inkblot animation to the actor in after effects?

nice episode but why was it 1 day later

you rock indymogul!!!!

Interesting to see you left the projector out of the shopping materials considering how important it is to the build. I know you guys kinda run under the idea of being inexpensive, but maybe sometimes you should just admit that there's no cheap way to do something.

great episode!
