THE SFX TEETH Specialists
PRACTICAL + DIGITAL DENTISTRY FOR VISUAL FX
(THE POPES EXORCIST 2023 CASE STUDY)
HERE AT BITEMAKERS WE ARE ABLE TO GENERATE SCAN/CAD DATA FROM ANY OF OUR PRACTICAL OR DIGITALLY DESIGNED TEETH FOR ANY VISUAL EFFECTS REQUESTS.
Henrys teeth?
VFX requested 3D data of Henrys teeth (the possessed child) during post production. So we created a practical 3D version of Henrys teeth, that could be scanned .THESE would replicate what the FX teeth would have looked like in Henrys mouth. Then using our high resolution intra oral scanner, we was able to digitalize our practical models within minutes- all without the need of bothering the talent.
THE DIGITAL DATA
AFTER SCANNING WE CAN THEN FURTHER TIDY UP THE DATA, AND THEN CONVERT INTO THE DESIRED FORMAT FROM STL, TO OBJ OR POINTCLOUD TO NAME A FEW AVAILIBLE FORMATS.
VISUAL EFFECTS
Having filmed the practical mouth prosthetic, for Henry , VFX then take over in post .and they need to create tHE mouth void ,but also to superimpose our scans of Henrys FX teeth over the top of the practical mouth prosthetic.
