Abstract:
The visual divide between simulated and natural phenomenon is one that shrinks every year, however solving the novel problem of capturing an aesthetic renews with each new idea. The Filigree Effect, developed for DreamWorks Animation’s feature film Shrek Forever After, is used whenever a character transports to an alternate reality, and involves a flash of light after which the character sucks back towards a point where filigree emerge as if drawn in space. In this effect we present a method of capturing the stylistic appeal of hand drawn artwork with the advantage of dynamic simulation for stereoscopic viewing.
