It’s a new week and with it comes a new fxguidetv episode. This week, we focus on the movie ‘Watchmen’ via an interview with Intelligent Creatures 2D Supervisor Greg Astles. Recorded at NAB, he breaks down the process of creating Rorschach’s mask from the start of the concept to putting on the the finishing touches using Nuke’s multipass capabilities.

Excellent breakdown. I wasn’t expecting beginning to end explanation of what they had to do to out a mask on Rorschach. Very good piece. Much better then anything I’ll get out of the collector’s edition DVD.
Wow..that was amazing to see all the workings of such an effective comp.
Thanks FXguide!
Does Angie say intelligent creatures from the states ???? As in NAB? or as in thats where I.C. is located? Cause its defiantly Toronto!!!

Hey Everyone,
We are glad you liked the interview. We wanted to give all of you guys and gals a chance to see how we created, what we think, is the coolest, seamless visual effect of the year!
Thanks to John and Jeff for taking the time out of their schedule at NAB to film Greg and allow a look at the inner workings of IC artistry.
Look for us at Siggers, and check out our brand new website, intelligentcreatures.com for videos, news, and a whole lot more!

Fantastic Podcast !!
Thanks Guys
This was amazing!! Just watched it. I love seeing this kind of behind the scenes interviews. Although I very much enjoyed the nuke side of things, I wished someone would have gone a little bit more into the Houdini aspect. 🙂
Great episode!

I loved the depth of this episode, and the narrow focus using a single shot as indicative of the entire mask workflow. Thanks to everyone involved!!
Like everyone else I really enjoyed this episode a lot. It was very profound and detailed. Was amazing to see all the effort that goes into such a shot…Greg did a great job on explaining what the team did.
Wow amazing! Thanks for this episode guys!
This is brilliant! It’s so hard to find decent behind the scenes interviews these days that actually delve into the guts of a shots composition. Was this filmed at the Foundry’s NAB booth? I wish I had been able to go. Thanks for the podcast! 🙂
this episode was amazing
