in today's video I'm going to transform my car into a real transformer and believe it or not
I almost broke my car recording this video in this content ever since I was a kid I was
really Amazed by all these movies containing all these unreal effects in them but then came
out to Transformers ever since then I wanted to start learning more about visual effects I
wanted to create that myself I wanted to be able to transform my car into a Transformer
oh my name is crime and you know I also really love those commercials from Citroen where they
use Transformers as an inspiration where they transform their cars and that just really hurts
I really enjoyed watching those commercials something
is just super cool about cars turning into robots
shouldn't forget the mic so in all these years of being a VFX artist I never really got to it
creating my own transformer scene so how many people have worked on Transformers over 1
000 people have worked on the visual effects of this movie and I'm going to try this on my own
now we need a plan a script so here's what I'm thinking I'm getting into my car pressing the
start engine button and then the car takes over glitches appear on the front screen and it says
something like let's go for a ride but then he was a little bit too aggressive because I
actually got thrown out so he apologizes for it and we we cool with with a fist bump or
something I don't know of course I have my car in real life but I also need my car as a CGI
model luckily a while back I already worked on some projects with my car just because I like
cars a lot yeah call me a simple guy so by now I already made it fly I made it look sci-fi I
also made it come out of an elevator from the ground and I don't know maybe something else
but now we're turning it into a Transformer let's start filming that was a lot of dust
actually never use this thing it's uh just a decorative piece pretty cool
let's go to the location
and make an amazing Transformers movie yeah you missed it you missed it
[Music]
okay so we have our little edit together now I need to place the transformer in there and
more than that I have to transform a car into a Transformer and make it look somewhat believable
so yeah I tried to make my own transformer but quickly enough I realized this is gonna take a
lot of time and honestly I'm not really one of the patient types so I went here on CG Trader
and found this amazing 3D model of Bumblebee in specific but I thought bumblebee is a perfect
size to then modify a little bit and make it my own just saving some time here but
really kudos to the artist because this model is exquisite it's really fantastic
Perfection so now I have my model but it didn't come with textures nor does it look like my car
I took all the pieces I wanted to use for my car and started pasting them into the scene
of my transformer robot [Music] okay so now we have our car we have our Transformer now we need
to transform my car into my Transformer and here is where it gets a lot of fun I actually jumped
into the Rococo suit and I did something like this so I went to lie on the floor
and then I acted like I am a Transformer that is transforming from a car so I put my arms next to
me and started lifting myself slowly because a Transformer is also a lot bigger than a human
and what we know everything that is big tends to move slower according to our own perception
so here is what I got in Rococo studio now I need to put my Transformer onto that animation [Music]
process extremely easy using the character definition tag so here I have my transformer
robot animated once I have my animation of my Transformer I animated my car so I made the
bumper move a little bit open the door when the arm comes out everything that I've done
here is hand animated so I just move the parts inside a little bit just to make sure that you
don't see anything from the outside and then I started opening the door so the arms could
move out I moved the wheels on his back I kept the bumper intact so it comes towards
his chest I also split the bumper so at the end you have a cool shot where it's like
closes in together pretty cool and then the logo of Mercedes is going to come out
and then I composited every single shot in Adobe After Effects so that means color matching making
sure that the saturation of my robot is similar to my scene then for the dashboard I added these
glitch elements like I said I also used an audio reactor we go give me a Facebook
and then also some final grading until I get something like this
let's go for a ride
I am so sorry humor I was too aggressive we call give me a physical alright so I hope you enjoyed
that little piece um I know that I enjoyed creating it for sure and yeah it's another
thing off my bucket list I always wanted to create a Transformer so here we go a huge respect to all
the people behind the scenes at Movies such like Transformers because these VFX are extremely hard
to create and they take a lot of time Devastator the guy that tears the pyramid apart took 72 hours
of frame to render so calculated that means it took 72 days to render out a single second
of video and all of these people definitely deserve the credit for all the hard work they
have put into these movies so next time you go and watch a movie stay until the end credit all
right thank you and I'll see you in the next one so tell me what happens so we were recording and
then I did something extremely extremely stupid I wasn't paying attention and this happened plate
[Music] content [Applause] [Music]
got you in 6K do you want to know how to create this or this
