    I actually was involved in working on this one! I was part of the team that ran the LED volume in NY for Fallout. We worked on the Vertibird shots, as well as several shots you might not have realised were on the volume inside the Vault atriums, and in the Observatory in Ep8. It was a combination of techniques used. Vertibirds were largely car-process plate shoots as described but there was actually some tracking involved for the walls, but the interiors were Unreal engine and fully tracked as well.

We actually had the pleasure of having the founder and developer on set helping us to develop new mapping and extra features to run this show. For the flicker, because its 2D comp work, you can do exactly what you would imagine you'd do in After Effects- add a black rectangle, script or keyframe it with some rotation, dial in the speed, and then play that back. Maybe feather the edges a bit or tweak the speeds until things look right. This could also be supported with some strobing from the physical lights on set which were being controlled via DMX from a lighting console.

      @@adamsmiths3016 I would suggest definitely. They don't have to carry fuel, they don't have to carry two combustion engines, although they are shown as being osprey style jet engines in the nacelles, it would've been very easy for them to be electric and powered by a tiny fusion core. Then yes, the smaller rotors and bigger but lighter chassis would function just fine with the rotors spinning at higher speeds.
      Honestly I think the quote “aerodynamically speaking, the aircraft cannot fly this way” is really more nitpicky than anything else, and after they were willing to wave away the nuke blast speed for narrative's sake, I think suggesting that "with a body that big and rotors that small, it wouldn’t be able to fly" is disingenuous. It is technically correct but there's a lot in Fallout games and the show that is really fantastical, and picking on the Vertibirds is honestly the least of it's technical issues. I would've said, "they're close enough to an Osprey that I'll let the details slide."

    My thoughts on the fake eye on Chris Parnell's forehead is less about thinking that's where it would originally have been replaced later and more that they wanted a reference for other actors to look at because their glances may dance between the side-by-side eyes where as here they're looking at a specific spot horizontally centered.

  • @C2Design
    @C2Design 23 дня назад +12

    I've worked on some CGI that was meant to mimic stop motion (for advertising) and here's some of the things we learned. 1. Animate on twos - most stop motion is usually just 12 fps doubled and helps achieve that recognizable look. 2. No motion blur. It feels unnatural but you can't achieve it when shooting single frames so it affects the visual style. 3. We did a super subtle jitter in post to the exposure. When shooting stop motion, your individual frames are never EXACTLY identical so there is this tiny flicker that happened between frames. If you want it to look like less professional stop motion, you exaggerate that effect a bit. Lastly, we were trying to mimic Claymation specifically, so we had animated displacement maps to subtly "move" the surface of the clay between frames. (and our texture maps included small dents, nicks and even scanned fingerprints.)

    Not only did he nail the look of old film, he nailed the look of the lighting that was available at the time. The differences between what was supposed to read as stop-motion, a man in a suit, and then what looks to me to be two different kinds of puppets - (one larger for head, mouth, and arm movements for close-ups, and a friggin hand puppet for "distance shots") were near perfection. Every bit of that stuff looked like it had been captured in camera. That's frighteningly well done, especially for what is essentially a "hobbyist". That is pure talent. Bravo!

      Ella Purnell (who plays Lucy) basicly confirms this in an interview with the BBC Radio 1: she says even with the third eye it was difficult for her to get the eyeline right in the closeup shots, so at one point Chris Parnell offers to do the scene with his real eyes closed (in the end they worked it out without that)

For sure the wings are a bit short in the fallout 4 model that they use but from memory I believe the vertibirds in 1 and 2 the props are angles slightly upward which would help with the lack of lift from the stubby wings, additionally the nuclear fusion aspect of the fallout universe would certainly aid in making these things "feasible"
