I recently watched Deadpool, and i found it to be incredibly funny and very live action based. The film is about how Deadpool came into existence. He was basically forced to mutate to give him abilities such as incredibly fast regeneration which means he can't die.
What i want to discuss is the animation at the very beginning which showcases amazingly animated CGi of a camera panning around a scene and gradually zooming out, there is an immense amount of detail in this shot. We don't understand what is happening until around about halfway when we can see people that are frozen in this time frame being kicked, punched and wedgie.
This whole scene captured my attention straight away and has inspired me to figure out how they created this scene as in what 3D software did they use to achieve this whole sequence, i figured out how they were able to place the text using motion tracking in after effects, but that just simple text placement in a sequence. I really wonder what they had to do to create such a scene, and how they applied such detailed textures on top of the models that they made.
If i ever develop my 3D skills i'd like to try to make something similar to this and find out the process they used in order to create a similar scene but not as detailed as this sequence because i'm not a professional when it comes to 3D.
