Quick Site Update

The copyright thugs at youtube blocked my video of Lastikman, but I've reuploaded it to vimeo. If you haven't seen it before or crave a rewatch, go here.

Battledogs (Werewolf Transformation)

I had very low expectations for Battledogs--after all, it's a "SyFy Original Movie." And, truth be told, I fast-forwarded through most of it (life is short, so sue me). However, there's a transformation scene near the beginning, which I am pleased to bring to you. Since the scene cuts off abruptly, I've included a snippet beforehand to show you what the werewolf design is like. My comments are below...




The werewolves look ratty and remind me too much of those in the American Being Human. However, I was still pleasantly surprised by this scene. It looks like even the folks who make SyFy movies are getting better at handling CGI, and even using it to more closely mimic classic, pre-CGi effects--as with the face morphs (too bad we don't see the muzzles fully grow out) and nice shirt and shoes ripping with digital fur underneath.
