iiiWEREWOLVES!!!
Jam-packed day: lots of computer image formatting, starting a mask, getting packages out, dickering with cloth-sellers and visiting a friend who's working at a spfx shop in town. The shop does great work, always giving their clients their money's worth (which explains why they're doing so well when most other shops are idle or gone).
Werewolves! The shop he's working at is doing the new werewolves for G*ngersn*ps 2 and 3: they have found a VERY nice way to do a four-legged werewolf. I saw a demo that just blew me away: the actor wolf-bowed, stretched, loped/ran and generally acted in the suit! Granted, he's bound up in this costume and can only do these actions for short periods, but they did a GREAT job with the structure and movement. There was also a really nice dead werewolf... I'm completely re-thinking my own half-finished 4-legger.
Of course, a big part of this was the front-leg extensions: beautiful steel-based claws that could take pounding as he moved. I have decided that the next bi g educational project for me is to learn how to wield steel and aluminum.
Of the four werewolf films in production or in post (that I know of), they're working on two of them. The other is currently being filmed in Europe I think. Both have nice, sno uty-styled werewolves in them! (As opposed to the nasty, hyperpilosetic Naschy-styled masks...) I'm jazzed!
Oh, and there was also a neat mutant poodle.

It's a good year for werewolves...
And yeah, no pics. Shops are sensitive about stuff like that. But I'm still jazzed to try some of their ideas out. It's been a while since I've done flying muscles and stuff, but I can see how it would make movement more effective. The suit is similar to a design a Brit company did for a "Peter and the Wolf" piece a few years ago: 4-legged, with a top-mounted head. But their wolf was nasty to move in: you can tell by how much walking it did (hardly any, and the little it moved was wobbly).
