RE: Help! The grunt has escaped his cyber prison!
I'm noticing a trend...a lot of people seem to be making videos with grunts running amok in their homes/dorms/etc.

Oh my god...I think we've just discovered a new meme!

I wouldn't really consider that a meme, but it wouldn't hurt if it was, either.

Who? I've only seen one other video, and that was from somebody on this forum.

Awesome work. I'm not sure how you did it, but I love the shadows: It looks pretty real. Big Grin

Here's a quick overview of my process:
- film it. Camera attached to tripod (more stable than just straight-up handheld) and me running full sprint down the hall.
- track shot with Syntheyes camera tracking software. Basically, the computer (using my input) is figuring out how a CG camera needs to move to mimic the real-world camera.
- recreate a rough cg "set" mimicking the real environment.
- place grunt in scene.
- slow down footage after realizing it looks unrealistic having the grunt run that fast.
- render out grunt passes (diffuse, specular, ambient occlusion, shadows)
- put them all together in After Effects.
- tweak color until it matches that of the original shot (i.e. color temperature correction, move black level up so blackest black is more of a dark grey color)
- Put it all together!
- Re render all this crap because alpha matting got screwed up. Dodgy
- Put it all together!
