Awesome movie, awesome site

[trundrumbalind]

OK, I'm not one for the "How did they do this?" questions but if you log onto the site www.dawnofthedeadmovie.net (http://www.dawnofthedeadmovie.net/) (go see the movie too!) and click on the "Blackout" section. There's a nice "flashlight with smoke passing through the beam" effect. This is the kind of thing I'm looking to learn a bit more about and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about how they went about it.

I'm thinking they might have used a separate stand-alone program like particleIllusion but possibly, they've used some clever masking using a series of PNG's.

Also, there's some nice fire effects on the site too that I'm looking to learn a bit more about too.

animated pngs is my guess. Or a image sequence rendered form something else.

But how do you think they CREATED those animations. What do you think the structure is? Do you think it might be just some clever AS? Nice sig by the way--you could probably throw that together in a sec!

Also, what do you think about the fire effect? It's in the "Denizens of the Dead" section. I'm beginning to think that it's just an AVI!

I think it is a mixture of 3d and some clever lingo script. addicting game.

Best I could get in a short time was 56 zombies killed. maybe i shouldn't drink and shoot zombies.

Maybe if you get drunk enough your blood will be so filled with alcohol that they won't even WANT to eat you!
