    hey guys, i am off for the weekend. But i am having a thought here.
    i was wondering on this effect:

    a guy standing on a beach, and a face coming out of this stomach, like, deforming his belly skin.

    how about doing that ?

    any ideas ? no 3D stuff.

    i saw something similar in a showreel, i just can’t remember where. there was this dog, coming out of a t-shirt.

    what about doing it with displacement …. shoot a face in a darkroom with the light falling off to make a depth matte … (actually infared / nightshot on DV cameras could be better) Use this footage to displace the image in flame. You might wanna do some pre stuff like cleaning the matte.

    I don’t know if this will give you the effect you are looking for – just an idea.

    Yeeeeahhh, and if you were to animate a blur on the z-depth (basically what a face shot like that would be) you could make the displacement start off as a smooth bulge then resolve into features and finer detail. Or you could animate a really sharp luma key to threshold it such that first the nose appears, then the further back parts.

    You might be able to just paint a z-matte with a face as reference, would just need the general shape of nose, cheekbones, chin if you textured it well.
