I dont know we like sleeker, cleaner stuff. You made a lumpy garbage bag. You should go work for woke game development, they want this kind of nonsense.
Please touch grass. While this dress could definitely be improved, it's still better than the Ross Special the movie put her in. Also, the movie was set in a historical period. "Sleek" formal dresses wouldn't exist for quite some time. Also, I have yet to see a "sleek" BALL GOWN. Its name does imply a certain amount of petticoats, you know.
The real problem with the live action dress is the lack of magical impact, like it was with Cinderella, also the details are hidden with the bad choice of fabrics. Belle's dress was supossed to flow with the dance and look glamourous, they could've make the skirt look like gold rose petals and adorn the bust and hair with roses, to make it obvious that she is the rose beast was looking for
That's the frickin concept that should have made this movie a good adaptation. Storytelling. I mean, isn't cinema supposed to show don't tell ? That's how you do it.
Yes, i like your idea and think it would be great! If they weren't gonna go for historical accuracy OR try to be accurate to the animated movie, this would be a good way to make it look *intentional* and not just like they were cheap.
My main problem is that they edited the dress in post to make it longer and fuller and it looks bad, the dress even "breathes" when she is not moving, it's an abomination.
😱🤯 Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 🤦🏾♀ When? When will these people learn? There should be a ban. If there's not a detailed super fan or cosplayer onsite, you can't make these movies. Just stop it.
@@LugreliaCreatesThey did the same with liveaction Cinderella. They made it pop a little and sparkle more which slightly killed some of the built in color layers that the dress has in real life. The only difference is that Cindy’s dress is a beautiful masterpiece that can stand on it’s own without the filters, while Belle’s dress is screaming for help.
@@uberkirbeeh7954 Facts on Cindy's dress. It's not just Disney for me. I watch anime and there are so many good animes that have been messed up when they've made a live-action adaptation. I swear it's a crime. I don't understand the continuance of this bad habit when it's always met with valid complaints. It is literally the definition of crazy. Doing the same thing and expecting a different reaction from fans.
@@LugreliaCreates what bugs me is not the lack of fidelity, but that with the core material already existing they need only to improve on what works and fix what doesn't, instead they make the opposite, they mess up where it worked in the core material and does not fix what didn't
disney also missed the iconic shot of panning the camera down from the Chandelier. This shot was a ground breaking way of starting the ballroom dance and one of disney’s early uses of cgi in an animated film. your dress is perfection!
The way the ballroom dance scene was shot, blocked by all kinds of weird things in the foreground and just... generally hard to see *anything* at all... It is such a MASSIVE slap to the face compared to how grand and free the original shot feels.
Right. And this girl really threw everyone under the bus and said they're ALL disappointing just to sound cool. When the clips she shown were really beautiful dresses that I feel were all made with heart even if they were just for the "gram" or halloween. Big yikes.
Do you know why these dresses are so simple? Because the people that was supposed to be wearing them were not rich theirselves. Belle , aurora and princess tiana were all poor. Which humbled them and that reflected on how much glitz and glam they could wear. Cinderella was different. Her dress turned into rags at midnight. Lol
@@lemonadelemon1960 you *do* know I’m talking about the iconic _yellow dress_ and not Belle’s plain blue number, right? The dress that she was gifted while she was at the Beast’s Castle?

As a 3D artist myself i think it's funny how you put so much effort and 360 ° detailing into that model, just for it to be seen from the front view and for like 5 seconds :D and yes i am just a lazy artist.
Amazing work ! I don’t get why you’d go through all this effort just to show us the final result for a total amount of 3 seconds tho. At least give us a few loops so we can bask in it’s glory !
Weren't corsets just shapewear? You weren't actually supposed to tie them so tight you can't breathe. Even working class women wore them while doing everyday chores. They performed the same function as spandex.
I didn't necessarily need Bell's dress to look like the animated version... I would have settled for something that didn't look like a prom dress that was bought in a mall in Glendale. I have my own vision of what I thought the dress should look like, but yours is beautiful!
I was so disappointed in the Disney dress. I was expecting gold brocade and tissue lamé, maybe even some silk organza or yumissima like in the Cinderella dress. Thank you for creating this!
What made Belles live action gown even worse in my opinion was the fact that in 2015 Cinderellas gown was given the live action treatment and was phenomenal and then 2 years later we get Belles gown. But they did redeem themselves a bit with Jasmine because her live action wardrobe was stunning but then they backtracked with Ariel’s outfits or lack of should we say.
That’s true up till that point the remakes were good because they did something different to the animated, after Cinderella they went downhill fast in both quality and story. The remakes aren’t a bad idea if done right and Cinderella show how to remake animated film in live action. From the story to the costumes and sets and the cast everything is just perfect. A lot of love and care went into it and it really shows
@@HamishMacfleetwood yeah but they made the live action very Indian and just as revealing as the original outfit despite being years later and having an actual expectation to do something sorta actually correct
Your dress ended up prettier than the movie (not surprising) but most of all I enjoyed the footage of how you did it and now I kinda want to get into it too. There's just one thing I want to point out: It's not a corset, it's a bodice. No hate towards you, I just see so people online use the wrong word.
Wait did you say the cosplay ones were disappointing?! But those were literally made by people with limited budgets, all by themselves, and if anything had even more textures and historical references.
1: If I ever met Paige O'Hara trust me I would start ugly sobbing and not be able to speak a word. 2: THANK YOU! As a designer, and a lover of historical fashioning proper corsets I despise the cgi dress Emma Watson wears in the live action (I liked Beast's live action outfit, but I prefer the og) 3: Next, fixing that flat hairstyle she has in the live action (lovely job!)
Thank you so much! Yes, meeting Paige O'Hara was surreal, I got her to sign my Beauty and the Beast:Christmas Edition VHS cassette cover, When she saw me completely starstuck, she felt so bad and gave me a hug hahaha! Still makes me laugh to this day. I really appreciate your comment :)
Cinderella got the best gown. It was magical, dreamy, and different in a good way. emma watson playing hermione granger playing belle, got a cheap looking halloween costume.
Woaaa this is so gorgeous ! A little too golden to my taste maybe. I always pictured that dress more of champagne and ivory for irl. But I love it ! In fact, I liked the one from the live action movie (too much yellow) but it’s not really Belle’s. It’s like they wanted to make a ref to the shape of Hermione Granger Yule Ball’s dress from Goblet Of Fire in fact.
Always amazes me how people do this stuff, crazy talented! I was kinda hoping for a side by side shot at the end though of your finished dress next to the cartoon movie version
Very nice! I love that the colors are much more rich and elegant and the multiple shades. Imagining this regal gold dress with the blue of the beast sounds so pretty. This still wouldn't save the film as I can't even count all the things that peeved me off, but this would have been much lovelier to see!
As someone who has identified with Belle all her life, I want to thank you for doing such a marvelous job. Now the the dress that you made using VFX is absolutely perfect!
This is a-ma-zing! I watched the live action movie when I was in elementary school, so I honestly didn't really compare it/care too much about differences from the original movie, but now I can see how her live action dress is...cute, but lackluster compared to the original. I love your rendering of it!
I think the one at 1:16 is nice :) if they'd made something like that, but with a Disney budget behind it, they could've come up with something that could stand alongside the incredible Cinderella dress in a live action Princess lineup. but alas. then with the various dresses from The Little Mermaid they didn't even try, which was tragic. Ariel didn't have the same kind of showstopper as the others, but she still had some really nice dresses. and the sparkly dress coming out of the ocean was to die for, and also just not that hard to pull off. they could've done it. :P
Good stuffs! Appreciate the "old school" approach, manually tracking / aligning the 3D ref geo. I was wondering how far you can take it with them AI object track solutions these days, WonderStudio et al. Yet thinking about it, at least in more complex shots, them solutions would hard struggle to object track the person acting in that kind of gown. Amazed by the dress btw!
I really like the top of the redesigned dress, but the bottom looks too bulky and chaotic. Like you took a few curtains and wrapped them around her waist. The colors are also very dark and muted. Your concept was pretty solid, though.
Anyone could have done better than both her and the movie. The movie looks like a evening gown from 1939 with the geometry of a 1860s southern belle design, whereas her interpretation looks like nothing, and very unnatural puff fabric design, which a horrid unnatural look to it..somehow outworst by the torso which I despise.
I can see the vision you had, I wished the dress had been more accurate to the movie. And ontop of that- I hadn't realized how close the color was to an omollet and now I can't unsee it. xD
The thing that pisses me off about the live action dress is that there was concept art showing a more period-accurate dress that looked way better than the final product. So mad they went with that cheap prom dress.
You did a pretty good job. Everyone talks about the dress, which is indeed terrible, but no one ever mentions how Emma Watson is standing in it. Her posture is bad the whole movie, but in this scene it's particularly egregious and sticks out like crazy. The dress, which is still elegant looking at least, looks way worse juxtaposed against her posture and expression. Its such an awkward looking shot. Ironically, it demonstrates how she would have benefitted from a corset, something invented by women for women to help with support.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just LOVE this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASTOUNDING JOB, now it looks opulent, rich and decadent, fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dress from *The King And I.* If they'd created a replica of that dress, it would have been perfect. It was already in gold, and it could withstand a full dance number. But who am I kidding? Emma Watson the drama queen wouldn't have agreed to wear it. 😆
*critiques Disney for ignoring historical time period accuracy* *also ignores historical time period accuracy* Honestly, really awesome work with composting, fantastic job! But I do wish you kept to your statement made in the beginning and actually tried to add historical accuracy to her costume. But as long as it satisfies your inner child, all is well.
They backpedal a lot on the reasoning, Said That the made dress intentional like That to make it easier to animate the dress flowing In the twirl shot. Some say they thought animators would Add details later. Or some suckers decided the simpel design was a “feminist princess look”. Seeing you doing a better job. really shows the skill issue and messy judgement in part that is Disney’s live action productions.
You worked on Ghost in the Shell?! That's so cool! The special effects in that movie got nowhere near the amount of praise they derserved; I thought it was a super cool movie! I actually prefer it to the original anime, for a variety of reasons.
Amazing design, you literally made her dress look exactly how most of us hoped it would’ve looked. You should do a reimagined version of Cinderella’s live-action dress.
"Emma Watson did not play her role as Belle in Beauty and the Beast live adaptation, she was playing Hermione Granger" - random wise person on the internet
It still looks kinda bad in a cosplay sort of way, but it is better than the movie. I think it should have been a draped fabric dress over shaping undergarments (crinoline?) a la the Marie Antoinette movie. The puffs above the drapes give a cartoony/cosplay like visual rather than an actual lavish ballgown.
the funniest thing about the dress in the movie, historically speaking, in the era in which the movie is set... corsets did not exist... What was used at that time were Stays, a garment to provide support and help with the silhouette of the time that was more cylindrical in the torso... but they weren't corsets
I have no idea what this is and I needed to breathe through a paper bag when watching all the techy stuff but that's amazing! So much work for so little frames. Well done!
I like the result !! But i have a question, is there a tutorial where you can explain how to add a CGI clothing to a real life person while moving? In this shot fortunately was only camera movement.
I don't know of a single tutorial, but the process is to track the camera, then do a body match animation "matchimation". You're basically animating a cg body double to match the movement of the actor. Then you simulate the dress on the animated cg character, render and composite it back on top.
I can’t believe you put the dress on Emma watson. It looks so pretty and much more true to the original material. I wish when Disney did these movies because they have so much money that they would actually make historically accurate clothing.
I love this video as someone who disliked that dress in the film but also as someone who teaches in a film school and this scene is used constantly to explain the MoCap for the beast. Everytime I see the BTS shots of the actor next to her in the grey suit I say "I mean I know why he's dressed like that but where was the focus on the dress?" The studio should've done more camera tests on the fabric. Great work and a great step by step look into 3D work!
If I see one more person say 'wokism' unironically over a person having an opinion or a fictional dress I may lose it. Lovely work! 3D modelling something is one thing, but putting it onto live action footage is something entirely different! Passion projects are so cool and I have so much respect for you (I am a 3D artist as well, but not nearly at this level!) Glad this popped up into my reccomendations.
The live action dress just reminds me of Hermione's pink dress that everyone loved (personally think its very ugly). They thought putting Emma Watson into beauty in the beast they could feed off her the success and popularity from the potter franchise, by all rights her "feminist, girl power, intelligent, bookish" character should of worked, right? Except the nuance of Disney princesses being strong for their choices, instead of fighting every option that has any male input. Choosing to love the beast. Choosing to love the human. Choosing to go to war. Choosing to go to the ball. Taking a well loved character and warping it to fit the narrative of the actor/actress playing that character defeats the purpose of having the character involved at all, when its just the actor playing themselves like a cameo in a sitcom.
That's so cool!!!! I truly HATED the live action dress, so this is a band-aid over such a long hurt, but appreciated none the less!!!!! What was that first program you used to create the drapey skirt???? It looked amazing!!! Do you have any more in-depth videos about using it???
For me, Belle in the 2019 movie looks so SAD. No matter the dress, it's not Belle. I just googled "belle dinsey parks" and THAT's the kind of Belle I'm talking about, the dress are absolutely beautiful and faithful to the animated movie AND time period, but most importantly Belle looks so lively, the spark in her eyes, her graceful and caring smile, her voluptuous hair. When you look back at Emma Watson's Belle, you instantly see why it looks so sad and dull in comparison. The Beauty and the Beast adaptation would have been made in the best way in the early 2000s, similar to 1997's Cinderella.
Your version is already so much better and so beautiful!💛It really looks like Belle's og dress and actually feels like it belongs in a fairy-tale setting! The live action dress doesn't do justice to the original at all. It feels lackluster and uninspired and doesn't embody the elegance and romantic style that the original dress has. Whereas your version gives that dreamy and magical vibe that made so many of us fall in love with the original. 😊 It's a shame in the remake they didn't even do the bare minimum and instead robbed Belle of her iconic gloves. They couldn't even make the sleeves of the dress similar to the original like you did. Cosplayers have made better versions of Belle's dress with less time, money and resources than a multi-billion dollar company. The remakes often change details that were already perfect when they had a successful blueprint right in front of them that they only needed to copy. Instead they waste time and money changing things that never needed to be changed
I cannot draw to save my life, but after seeing this video, it has got me kind of curious to learn VFX for designing my own fashion. I'm a new sewist learning to sew in anticipation of making my wedding dress, undergarments, etc. I would LOVE to have this kind of program to bring the ideas in my head to life, so I can see if it's missing something, or if it looks professional, possibly couture. I have fabrics picked out, I have swatches of silk, organza, etc. Just lacking a proper sketch of some kind.
Friendly reminder that “corsets” as we know them are based more on Victorian corsets. Of the mid to late 1800s where as Belle would have worn stays, the story being set in the mid-late 1700s, and stays weren’t designed to tight-lace, but rather just support the fashionable silhouette which was a triangle/cone shaped bodice and either a very wide skirt supported by panniers, or a slightly more rounded skirt supported by a bum role and maybe small pocket hoops. Belles’s original gown while always a favorite is fully Victorian. And I was really hoping for a gorgeous 18th century gown. Especially cause the rest of the film had so many beautiful 18th century silhouette. And doing belles gown in the period silhouette with maybe some more modern textiles (like flowing fabric from Anna Kendrick’s Cinderella ball gown in into the woods) could have been incredible.
I dont know we like sleeker, cleaner stuff. You made a lumpy garbage bag. You should go work for woke game development, they want this kind of nonsense.

Always amazes me how people do this stuff, crazy talented!
I was kinda hoping for a side by side shot at the end though of your finished dress next to the cartoon movie version
Very nice! I love that the colors are much more rich and elegant and the multiple shades. Imagining this regal gold dress with the blue of the beast sounds so pretty. This still wouldn't save the film as I can't even count all the things that peeved me off, but this would have been much lovelier to see!
As someone who has identified with Belle all her life, I want to thank you for doing such a marvelous job. Now the the dress that you made using VFX is absolutely perfect!
This is a-ma-zing! I watched the live action movie when I was in elementary school, so I honestly didn't really compare it/care too much about differences from the original movie, but now I can see how her live action dress is...cute, but lackluster compared to the original. I love your rendering of it!
I think the one at 1:16 is nice :) if they'd made something like that, but with a Disney budget behind it, they could've come up with something that could stand alongside the incredible Cinderella dress in a live action Princess lineup. but alas.
then with the various dresses from The Little Mermaid they didn't even try, which was tragic. Ariel didn't have the same kind of showstopper as the others, but she still had some really nice dresses. and the sparkly dress coming out of the ocean was to die for, and also just not that hard to pull off. they could've done it. :P
I just made a video for the Pink ballgown, check it out and let me know what you think :)
this is exactly Belle’s dress omg
Good stuffs! Appreciate the "old school" approach, manually tracking / aligning the 3D ref geo. I was wondering how far you can take it with them AI object track solutions these days, WonderStudio et al. Yet thinking about it, at least in more complex shots, them solutions would hard struggle to object track the person acting in that kind of gown.
Amazed by the dress btw!
I really like the top of the redesigned dress, but the bottom looks too bulky and chaotic. Like you took a few curtains and wrapped them around her waist. The colors are also very dark and muted. Your concept was pretty solid, though.
Anyone could have done better than both her and the movie. The movie looks like a evening gown from 1939 with the geometry of a 1860s southern belle design, whereas her interpretation looks like nothing, and very unnatural puff fabric design, which a horrid unnatural look to it..somehow outworst by the torso which I despise.
1:11 @alexandraLouise's version of the dress is the most beautiful real-life adaptation I think I've ever seen.
I can see the vision you had, I wished the dress had been more accurate to the movie. And ontop of that- I hadn't realized how close the color was to an omollet and now I can't unsee it. xD
The thing that pisses me off about the live action dress is that there was concept art showing a more period-accurate dress that looked way better than the final product. So mad they went with that cheap prom dress.
Girl you are a witch! I understood none of what you said but loved hearing you explain how you performed this magic! Brava!
Some people are just so talented and tech savvy...I could never. This was amazing ❤❤
Because beauty and the beast follows Cinderella release-wise, it was so disappointing. Cinderella was beautiful costume wise!
You made it so much better! I wish people like you were in charge of it.
you only show the final product for 3 seconds, come on, you gotta linger on the final reveal more than that
that is definitely an improvement!! .. "M'lady, may I have the honor of dance?"
Wow !! You nailed it!!
Thanks !!
You did a pretty good job. Everyone talks about the dress, which is indeed terrible, but no one ever mentions how Emma Watson is standing in it. Her posture is bad the whole movie, but in this scene it's particularly egregious and sticks out like crazy.
The dress, which is still elegant looking at least, looks way worse juxtaposed against her posture and expression. Its such an awkward looking shot. Ironically, it demonstrates how she would have benefitted from a corset, something invented by women for women to help with support.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just LOVE this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASTOUNDING JOB, now it looks opulent, rich and decadent, fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Girl, Disney needs to hire you, you're actually creative and know what you're doing to make the animated masterpieces come to life.
That Belle dress looks better here than in other videos of people redesigning it.
I... Forgot just how bad that movie dress was... Wow... Your transformation is amazing!
I don't really like the final look of the redesign but you are super talented and I enjoyed watching the process of you redesigning it!
Sheesh that look wayy better and still realistic too
Can you make an historical accurate version of the dress? 🥰
The dress from *The King And I.* If they'd created a replica of that dress, it would have been perfect. It was already in gold, and it could withstand a full dance number. But who am I kidding? Emma Watson the drama queen wouldn't have agreed to wear it. 😆
Beautiful work. That takes a lot of skill and time to do.
Please do Ariel’s ballgown in The Little Mermaid ❤
It's on my list :D
@@crafthive can you do Ariels ending glitter dress.
agreed@@d-1381
Ballgown, done! go check it out! Let me know what you think :)
I didn't have the time to add the silver dress in there, maybe for another video, but its on my radar :D
*critiques Disney for ignoring historical time period accuracy*
*also ignores historical time period accuracy*
Honestly, really awesome work with composting, fantastic job! But I do wish you kept to your statement made in the beginning and actually tried to add historical accuracy to her costume. But as long as it satisfies your inner child, all is well.
They backpedal a lot on the reasoning, Said That the made dress intentional like That to make it easier to animate the dress flowing In the twirl shot. Some say they thought animators would Add details later.
Or some suckers decided the simpel design was a “feminist princess look”.
Seeing you doing a better job. really shows the skill issue and messy judgement in part that is Disney’s live action productions.
Now THAT. Is how you turn a cartoon dress into a love action possibility. That looks SO much better.
Amazing, We want more tutorial like this(CG dress compositing with live action footages)💖
your dress is beautiful :D this is how they should of made the dress just like the beautiful animation :D
You worked on Ghost in the Shell?! That's so cool! The special effects in that movie got nowhere near the amount of praise they derserved; I thought it was a super cool movie! I actually prefer it to the original anime, for a variety of reasons.
Most definitely better and beautiful!
what's the application is she using?
I'm using Marvelous Designer and Maya in this video
This one is great, it would have been awesome to see this in the big screen
Amazing design, you literally made her dress look exactly how most of us hoped it would’ve looked. You should do a reimagined version of Cinderella’s live-action dress.
See Disney? It's not that you couldn't do it. It's you didn't want to
Awesome video! Dress looks so much better.
very satisfying video!!!
seeing the comparison between yours and the original, og looks like a cheap costumey prom dress now
Thank you, honestly. I’ve despised this dress for the longest time and it’s so nice to get a visual of what i would have liked to actually see.
"Emma Watson did not play her role as Belle in Beauty and the Beast live adaptation, she was playing Hermione Granger"
- random wise person on the internet
It still looks kinda bad in a cosplay sort of way, but it is better than the movie.
I think it should have been a draped fabric dress over shaping undergarments (crinoline?) a la the Marie Antoinette movie. The puffs above the drapes give a cartoony/cosplay like visual rather than an actual lavish ballgown.
This is SO MUCH better!!
the funniest thing about the dress in the movie, historically speaking, in the era in which the movie is set... corsets did not exist... What was used at that time were Stays, a garment to provide support and help with the silhouette of the time that was more cylindrical in the torso... but they weren't corsets
I have no idea what this is and I needed to breathe through a paper bag when watching all the techy stuff but that's amazing! So much work for so little frames. Well done!
My favorite is at 1:16 . The dress is exactly how I pictured Belle's dress. Good job to the fan who made it!👍👏👏👏
I like the result !! But i have a question, is there a tutorial where you can explain how to add a CGI clothing to a real life person while moving? In this shot fortunately was only camera movement.
I don't know of a single tutorial, but the process is to track the camera, then do a body match animation "matchimation". You're basically animating a cg body double to match the movement of the actor. Then you simulate the dress on the animated cg character, render and composite it back on top.
@crafthive thanks a lot for the reply. Thats the technique i was looking, the "matchimation" 🙏🙏
I don't think my computer could run some of this stuff, but it was really interesting to watch. Definitely going to see what else is on your channel!
Wow this was amazing!
I can’t believe you put the dress on Emma watson. It looks so pretty and much more true to the original material. I wish when Disney did these movies because they have so much money that they would actually make historically accurate clothing.
I love this video as someone who disliked that dress in the film but also as someone who teaches in a film school and this scene is used constantly to explain the MoCap for the beast. Everytime I see the BTS shots of the actor next to her in the grey suit I say "I mean I know why he's dressed like that but where was the focus on the dress?" The studio should've done more camera tests on the fabric. Great work and a great step by step look into 3D work!
You guys are sooo skilled
Thank you, we really appreciate it :)
If I see one more person say 'wokism' unironically over a person having an opinion or a fictional dress I may lose it.
Lovely work! 3D modelling something is one thing, but putting it onto live action footage is something entirely different! Passion projects are so cool and I have so much respect for you (I am a 3D artist as well, but not nearly at this level!) Glad this popped up into my reccomendations.
How is weather?
Ai!
A little cold, thanks for asking!
Cosplayers proved that this dress is 100% possible… it s all because of Emma unfunded issues with corsets
Text book example of ADHD/VFX artist, im in love
The live action dress just reminds me of Hermione's pink dress that everyone loved (personally think its very ugly). They thought putting Emma Watson into beauty in the beast they could feed off her the success and popularity from the potter franchise, by all rights her "feminist, girl power, intelligent, bookish" character should of worked, right? Except the nuance of Disney princesses being strong for their choices, instead of fighting every option that has any male input. Choosing to love the beast. Choosing to love the human. Choosing to go to war. Choosing to go to the ball. Taking a well loved character and warping it to fit the narrative of the actor/actress playing that character defeats the purpose of having the character involved at all, when its just the actor playing themselves like a cameo in a sitcom.
This is so cool! What a labor of love. You're very talented!
That's so cool!!!! I truly HATED the live action dress, so this is a band-aid over such a long hurt, but appreciated none the less!!!!!
What was that first program you used to create the drapey skirt???? It looked amazing!!! Do you have any more in-depth videos about using it???
HERMOSOOO 😍❤️ me encanta el cambio que hiciste, el vestido es simplemente precioso ❤
love it!!!
May favorite is when one pins felt tacos 🌮 on the lower half. People look puzzled, then chuckle once they get it. Best Halloween party ever. 😅
For me, Belle in the 2019 movie looks so SAD. No matter the dress, it's not Belle. I just googled "belle dinsey parks" and THAT's the kind of Belle I'm talking about, the dress are absolutely beautiful and faithful to the animated movie AND time period, but most importantly Belle looks so lively, the spark in her eyes, her graceful and caring smile, her voluptuous hair.
When you look back at Emma Watson's Belle, you instantly see why it looks so sad and dull in comparison.
The Beauty and the Beast adaptation would have been made in the best way in the early 2000s, similar to 1997's Cinderella.
Your version is already so much better and so beautiful!💛It really looks like Belle's og dress and actually feels like it belongs in a fairy-tale setting! The live action dress doesn't do justice to the original at all. It feels lackluster and uninspired and doesn't embody the elegance and romantic style that the original dress has. Whereas your version gives that dreamy and magical vibe that made so many of us fall in love with the original. 😊
It's a shame in the remake they didn't even do the bare minimum and instead robbed Belle of her iconic gloves. They couldn't even make the sleeves of the dress similar to the original like you did. Cosplayers have made better versions of Belle's dress with less time, money and resources than a multi-billion dollar company. The remakes often change details that were already perfect when they had a successful blueprint right in front of them that they only needed to copy. Instead they waste time and money changing things that never needed to be changed
i love both dresses BUT yours is more princess like hehe
I cannot draw to save my life, but after seeing this video, it has got me kind of curious to learn VFX for designing my own fashion.
I'm a new sewist learning to sew in anticipation of making my wedding dress, undergarments, etc.
I would LOVE to have this kind of program to bring the ideas in my head to life, so I can see if it's missing something, or if it looks professional, possibly couture. I have fabrics picked out, I have swatches of silk, organza, etc. Just lacking a proper sketch of some kind.
Awesome! You can join our discord server, we can discuss all things VFX and Marvelous Designer to create your art pieces :D
Friendly reminder that “corsets” as we know them are based more on Victorian corsets. Of the mid to late 1800s where as Belle would have worn stays, the story being set in the mid-late 1700s, and stays weren’t designed to tight-lace, but rather just support the fashionable silhouette which was a triangle/cone shaped bodice and either a very wide skirt supported by panniers, or a slightly more rounded skirt supported by a bum role and maybe small pocket hoops. Belles’s original gown while always a favorite is fully Victorian. And I was really hoping for a gorgeous 18th century gown. Especially cause the rest of the film had so many beautiful 18th century silhouette. And doing belles gown in the period silhouette with maybe some more modern textiles (like flowing fabric from Anna Kendrick’s Cinderella ball gown in into the woods) could have been incredible.
Disney should release an updated version of this film where they CG in a more appropriate dress!
Watching this video with a headache was a bad idea ‘cause I was trying so hard to follow what she was doing lol (amazing work btw)
Great work 👍👍🔥🔥
Now I see dressed in premium version ❤❤❤
I have never seen the live action movie and I feel so invested now, that dress is not okay disney.
Amazing. Please which is the latest vfx program you used for the dress? ❤
thank you :) Started in Marvelous designer, then maya :)
