The article is referring to how "The Wolf Man" (1941) was regarded as the definitive werewolf transformation until 1980. For the past four decades, the practical SFX in "American Werewolf in London" and "The Howling" have achieved a similar status. Do you think it's time for similar innovation? If so, what sort of transformation would be a major breakthrough?

the character design for "Sonic the Hedgehog" was disliked for being too "realistic." What sort of balance between realism and "cartoonish dimensions" is best for a character?
What was wrong with the "realistic" Sonic?

August 2009 - "District 9," TF into alien "prawn"
August 1996 - "The Island of Dr. Moreau," various beastmen
August 1990 - "The Witches," multiple TFs into rodents

August 1985 - "Teen Wolf," wolfman TF scene
August 1984 - "Dreamscape," snakeman TF scene

Morphing in "Mowgli"
General | Posted 7 years agoI spotted this article online today.
What is the point in a morph in which you see "both" an animal and a human face?
Andy Serkis speaks about the “liberating tool” of performance capture and reveals all about his latest project Mowgli . . . . “I have a real problem with talking animals on film,” Serkis explains of his reason for using performance capture for this project. “If you took a real photorealist tiger and put a voice on it I would find it emotionally unbelievable” . . . . “If you imagine a timeline with, on one side, the actor’s face and on the other side you have a panther and the two sides morph to a point where you will see both panther and the human actor’s face. That for me was the fundamental way into the story” . . . .

"Beauty and the Beast" 2017

The video actually depicts a brief eye-centered morph. I imagine that it is part of a much longer transformation scene.
After uploading an eye morph recently, I'm trying to think of new things to upload later in February. Any suggestions?
