Chappie VFX Breakdown Reel

Fans of Chappie will enjoy this. Image Engine is the special effects company that worked on Neill Blomkamp’s Chappie. This is their VFX breakdown reel that shows how they transformed Sharlto Copley into Chappie himself. It isn’t as easy or straightforward as you might think.

Copley had to be taken out of each frame of the film that he was in. It’s a pain but, his being there allowed the rest of the cast to react to his movements, so it was totally worth it. I think it worked pretty well in this movie. You’ll want to watch it all the way through to get all of the cool details.

Neill Blomkamp Was Working on an Alien Movie

Neill Blomkamp working on an Alien movie? I like that idea. Can you even imagine what such a movie would look like? Well, just check out these images. The other day he posted some concept art from an Alien project that he was working on.

Apparently he was not working on this for the studio officially, but just for kicks. Now I just want to see this movie come to life. It would have been a wild ride, that’s for sure. Excuse me while I stare at these images for a few hours and dream of what could have been.

Concept Art From Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium

Check out this batch of concept art from writer/director Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium. The story revolves around a factory worker whose destiny is to make his way into a man-made space station that is a utopia. Most of humanity lives on Earth. They are basically the lower class. The Elite live on Elysium, a space-station with all the luxuries and medical technology that are denied the other citizens.

It’s been a while since I saw this one, but the movie had it’s share of brilliant moments. It felt like an old Sci-Fi novel. Seeing this concept art makes me want to watch it all over again.
