With a passion for Visual Effects (VFX), Dave seamlessly incorporates VFX elements into his stunt visualisations, providing a comprehensive template for Directors and the rest of crew. Having worked on iconic blockbusters like Transformers, HBO's Watchmen, and numerous Marvel Cinematic Universe films, Dave's expertise shines through. Just a glance at his IMDB page showcases his impressive portfolio. In his latest project for David Fincher's 'The Killer', @davemacomber1035 coordinated a gripping 6-minute fight sequence shot mostly in darkness. Join him as he shares insights into working with David Fincher, revealing that Fincher is an extremely collaborative director, and how his background as a VFX artist dictates his approach to photographing sequences in his movies. 'Killer vs Brute' exemplifies Dave's mastery in delivering high-impact action sequences. Even though the scene turned out to be a success, Dave states that it was "the most intimidating thing I've ever done in my career." Venturing into Unreal Engine filmmaking during his spare time, Dave's creativity knows no bounds. Last year, he unveiled 'The Ronin', his first Unreal Engine short film, showcasing a fight scene performed entirely by himself, using @RokokoMotion capture technology. Now, with 'The Widow: Assassins Highway', Dave enlists a team of MARVEL stunt performers to help him capture the stunts and elevate the action. This episode offers a captivating glimpse into the VFX pipeline, Hollywood stunt process, and Unreal Engine filmmaking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONNECT WITH US http://www.bigtoothstudios.co.uk/thevfxprocess https://www.tiktok.com/@thevfxprocess https://www.instagram.com/bigtoothstudios https://twitter.com/bigtoothstudios https://discord.gg/V37kWumKgx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MUSIC: Motion Array - https://motionarray.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ⏰TIMECODES⏰ 00:00 - INTRODUCTION 01:55 - STUNTVIS FOR DAVID FINCHER'S 'THE KILLER' 03:07 - WORKING WITH DAVID FINCHER 04:37 - THE KILLER: STUNTVIS WORKFLOW 08:08 - UNREAL ENGINE: 'THE WIDOW: ASSASSINS HIGHWAY' 10:16 - USING A TEAM OF HOLLYWOOD STUNT PERFORMERS 11:48 - ROKOKO MOTION CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY 13:44 - 'THE WIDOW': EXPERIENCE & THE FUTURE PLAN 16:14 - ADVICE FOR UNREAL ENGINE ARTISTS 17:46 - UNDERSTANDING VFX AS A FILMMAKER 21:18 - THINKING OF FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY AS DIALOG 25:36 - THE TRUST OF THE STUNT COMMUNITY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This video is NOT sponsored. some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we will receive a small commission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #unrealengine #stuntperformer #filmmaking #animation #vfx #film #game #visualisation #vfxpodcast #marvelcinematicuniverse #thevfxprocess #marvelstudios #martialarts #davidfincher #thekiller #stunts #unrealengine5 #visualisation #visualeffects #rokoko #motioncapture #stuntdouble #michaelfassbender #garethedwards #director #mocap #cinema4d
