One of the “horror” scenes in the new Transformer’s movie is when Alice, a sexy new coed character at Sam’s college, suddenly changes into a Decepticon. How did they do the effect? Digital Domain tells us:
No green screen or motion capture was used when shooting actress Isabel Lucas. But it took seven months for a team of 20 to create countless layers of effects, devised with complex equations and meticulous rendering with the software Houdini to create the six-second shot.
