- ViktorVaughn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27Not to call you out, but you have no idea what you're talking about. They didn't just apply a filter to the video they shot or use "Apple Quicktime rotoscoping", what ever that is.
They might have used footage in Quicktime format as the base for the roto work they did, but I can assure you, it was way more difficult than applying some filters. Animators drew by hand every single frame of this movie using DV footage as the base and a custom piece of animation software developed by one of the project leads. I actually was interning at Detour Productions right in the middle of all this. They had thirty animators working for them when they started but had almost fifty working in day and night shifts to get the movie done.
Roto work is extremely difficult and time consuming. They had an entire team of animators just for the scramble suit. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26If anyone is thinking about trying the Scanner Darkly one. The guy says at the end that this image took four hours of work. He basically had to draw everything, using the photoshop pencil. This is going to require some talent, not just hard work, and a graphing tablet would probably help, a lot.

- tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Elitist much?
- tg989, on 11/01/2007, -0/+18you mean the 300 one don't you? THIS IS VALENTINES DAAAAAAAYYY (kick her into the bed).
- maexus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Probably because Digg is an English speaking site. Besides, I didn't know America was the only English speaking country. I learn something new every day.
- littleodie914, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Gotta say, was pretty disappointed by the 300 "effect." Scroll down to the bottom for the final pic, and you'll see what I mean.
- insanebrain, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16que ?
- ray42, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Ugh I tried that Scanner Darkly one a few weeks ago. Tip: Choose a pic with very little black.
- gatoloco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12mirror anybody?
- zip000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Well, now I am! Great idea :-)
- DoMifer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+101. There is no 'correct' tutorial. Both tutorials work fine.
2. A Scanner Darkly was not done in Illustrator.
3. You sound like you were dropped as a child. From a cliff. Repeatedly. - praveenmarkandu, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11Visual effects in the style of 300 was crap. the rest was fine. the scanner darkly one needs some extreme patience
- TrainingName, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9http://www.duggmirror.com/
- wedges, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11are you serious? let's convince more people they know how to use these applications, when they really don't!
- MonkCanatella, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Your blog sucks.
- jordanf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Take your bad photographs, and make them into bad photographs...WITH EFFECTS.
- Davers, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Great tutorials. It'd be really cool if someone could make these into photoshop filters of their own. Clearly ones like the Pirates of the Caribbean wouldn't work in that case, but the Sin City or Movie effects would.
- beerbarron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5The only thing that is lame is your comment joe, the effects arnt amazing, but the average person learning photoshop, can be inspirational.
- ashefire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5For Jessica Alba, that's a hilarious insult and looks nothing like I'd expect.
But if you just said, "Here's something I made", I'd say that is pretty ***** cool. - justineatworld, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8this is still digg right? Then no it didn't.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I believe he meant the "Imitating A Scanner Darkly" tutorial is done in Illustrator.
A Scanner Darkly was not done in Illustrator, you're correct.
However, not only does the article say it's a Photoshop tutorial/effect (which it is not, that tutorial DOES use Illustrator), but you would not have access to the software that was used in A Scanner Darkly to begin with.
Quit trying to call people out; you're making an ass of yourself. - YossarianDent, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5...or you could take the image into Illustrator, auto-trace, composite, and be done with it in 1/2 hour or less. I'm pretty sure I remember a guy at the Adobe booth at NAB '06 showing how to automate the creation of a similar effect for video, and it was much easier than what you're talking about.
The tutorial's not loading properly for me right now, so I can't take a look at it to see what he did, but the pencil tool? Seriously? - bimtott, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6You said it, man. Nobody ***** with the Jesus.
- jstem1994, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Love Photoshop, gotta try a few tonight after work...
- toxicityj, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6America does own the internet. We've got a copyright and everything. and we're such kind overlords that we graciously share with you inferiors
*eye roll* theres nothing more annoying than an idiot who thinks Americans think they're superior to everyone. - giveer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Some of those tutorials aren't even tutorials. "I added this and blended it. Then I added colours. and an Explosion. Next,...."
Well no ***** Sherlock, he may well have just said: "open up a new canvas. Add Stuff until it looks like a poster." - Grimdotdotdot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Or speak proper English.
Cheerio! - JoWiGo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4They did post the mirror to the article. Duggmirror detects the referring page and automatically gives you the mirror for the site. Some older browsers prevent this from happening though so the full link is preferred, but this does fine for most people.
- yo_daddy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Well, okay. I guess I'll accept it.
- ViktorVaughn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I promise you, it was shot on Panasonic DVX-100s in 24p with quick and dirty lighting and no make-up. Because they were drawing over the footage, they could make it look however they wanted, so there was no need to waste time on things that we're going to be in the shot anyway. The frames they were animating were film resolution, 4k I think, but the video they were drawing over was most certainly DV. I've seen it first-hand. Like I said, I was working up there at the time.

Good call on the Rotoshop though. - identifiedlogo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5I did "Scanner Darkly" Jessica Alba, not so pretty, but you be the judge... http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/60256225/
- SpamDog, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5This site has some great photo tips and techniques... (even if I am always to busy to use any of them)
- TheKingInYellow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3so true. seems like everyone is an expert nowadays but no one knows what the hell they're talking about when it comes to doing photoshop stuff.
- bmxboy661, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4anyone else looking for a way to convert video to A Scanner Darkly filter?
- dbr_onix, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Continuing the "not to call out, but..' replies : A Scanner Darkly won't be using DV footage, and probably didn't use anything like Quicktime. Chances are it was film, which would be scanned ('Telecined') into image sequences. If I recall correctly, there was a custom rotoscoping application created for the animators (RotoShop it was called, I think)
I remember right : http://www.flatblackfilms.com/Rotoshop.html - That page also confirms the film effect didn't use image filters, it's entirely hand-traced
http://www.g4tv.com/techtvvault/features/23423/Rotoshop_Animation.html
And to call myself out : Rotoshop does use the Quicktime container to hold the video (Although it was probably stilled telecined to DPX image sequences) - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I love all the speculation on how the movie was done. If you want to know how it was done from the freakin' horse's mouth:
http://www.nytimes.com/packages/khtml/2006/07/06/movies/20060707_SCANNER_AUDIOSS.html?ei=5088&en=9cfec30c4699b028&ex=1309924800&adxnnl=1&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&adxnnlx=1152514209-ZgJM46sy0/G3tmt5TdVIzg - ViktorVaughn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Up close in a theater they still look like the real actors.
- Meep3D, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3You can always split the video into single frames, save them as tiff's or something then run a Photoshop batch job (after creating an action for the filter). Its fairly easy - I think VirtualDub will do most of the video trickery too.
- Intervention, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3nice thanks!
- Davies, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"Why does it always have to be in Photoshop?"
Because it's the best?
Porque es el mejor? - MrTovson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It would be great if these were all Photoshop tutorials as titled...
"Using Illustrator's pencil tool..." - TheKingInYellow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2you could always open every other frame of your video in illustrator and get to know your pen tool a little better. 24 fps down to 12 fps doubled in AE...looks fine and saves you rotoscoping time.
- eatsushi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2it's gonna look like *****. auto-trace, live paint = lens flare filter in photoshop
- riah, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The guy's bio at the bottom said he actually worked on the movie, too.
- gutistg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2If you're trying to emulate the various visual styles of popular movie posters, you probably can't tell that it looks cheesy, or care, for that matter.
- judbeasley, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Retard!
- ayeroxor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I would expect nothing less if I went to a Spanish site and didn't remotely try to speak Spanish, n00b.
