It is radical, awesome and superfresh!

This was made with the utmost respect for the sport and some of the real tricks in the full movie are way crazier.
Go check it out!

This shot was made in:

Maya
Max
Syntheyes

Thanks for watching.

    Hey Simon.
    Thanks! There are two good reasons for not just rotoing the board out. First reason is that I wanted him to kick off the board and to not be in the "board" stance since that would make it look weird. (or weirder at least)
    Second reason is that in the last half of the trick the board is over his body so I would have had to paint in legs frame by frame for those anyway.
    Good luck with the ski-ing.

    my vote for syntheyes as well great tracking app and not to expensive.
  •  
  • Arvid Niklasson plus 3 years ago
    Syntheyes is amazing. SO worth the money.
    All Russ needs to do is get Mark Coleran to redesign the UI cause it looks like something from 1992. :)

    This is unreal, reminds me of the SSX game series on ps2/xbox. So awesome!! i am an aspiring film maker and would really like to learn more about the behind the scenes you did here.. was this something that i might be able to tackle with the correct programs? send me a private message or something if you feel more comfortable.

    Thank you and again awesome vid!

    Hehe, I knew this was fake when I saw it in the full movie :). The fact that he landed on the same board gave it away for me (and probably that he landed exactly in his bindings too).

    Nice editing though, looks awesome!

    Beautiful! This is amazing!
    Couldn't you have just gotten two boards and done it? xD

    Looks great!
  •  
  • Did you paint the legs by hand or did you use projection painting, or possibly only simple shading? Were roto and warping ever an option?
