During the late 19th century, legendary vampire hunter Gabriel Van Helsing is a man cursed with a past he cannot recall and driven by a mission he cannot deny. Van Helsing finds a land still mired in the past, where legendary creatures of darkness come to life. A place ruled over by the evil, seductive and unbeatable vampire, Count Dracula. It is Dracula that Van Helsing has been sent to terminate. Anna Valerious is one of the last of a powerful royal family, now nearly annihilated by Dracula. A fearless hunter in her own right, Anna is bent on avenging her ancestors and ending an ancient curse by killing the vampire. Joined by a common foe, Van Helsing and Anna set out to destroy Dracula along with his empire of fear. But in challenging an enemy who never dies, Van Helsing uncovers a secret he never imagined and comes face-to-face with the unresolved mysteries of his own enshrouded past.
Again, one of my favourite characters from the movie, hugh jackman transforms into this werewolf creature, but again it was difficult to get hold of some images, and I thought showing a ( GIF ) would demonstrate the use of CGI and again how the werewolf is interpreted depending on the character.
Van Helsing
Again, another film I haven't seen. But hugh jackman is one of my favourite actors ( with the apperance of him in x-men ) . I absolutely loved the monsters featuring in this film, and werewolves are one of my favourite myth creatures. Purely because werewolves are used a lot in films, and it's amazing how each film demonstrates the apperance of how the werewolf should be interpreted. Again CGI is used, but it looks really effective.
A moving picture ( GIF ) demonstrating the character in action within the film. I thought the use of saliva strands in the mouth made it seem all the more realistic.
It was quite difficult to get hold of some images of this character, as majority of them were really pixelated. I had to, in the end print screen some shots of the character whilst a youtube video of the scene was playing so you could visually see the character properly. This part of the scene showed the character in CGI mode as he changed from a human into this winged beast.
So, I managed to find an image of the winged creature that appeared in practical effects, which was amazing to see, especially in black and white footage. I love the way they have created the mouth and teeth, and how realistic the character looks, I know I wouldn't want to bump into this on a dark night.
CGI footage of the winged vampire from the film flying angrily toward hugh jackman. I love the use of colour they have used for her skin.
I absolutely love this gif, very subtle changes with the use of CGI, teeth growing so distinctly and the glow of the eyes changing.
