I was watching the junkyard megawars last night. It was the hollywood special one (I think they’re replaying on tuesday if you’re interested). I wanted to identify some of the clip they ran during the show, which were the creatiopns of the three teams in the show: Industrial Light and Magic, who had some nice Star Wars clips, among others, Jiim Henson’s Creature Shop, and one other I can’t quite recall.
Anyway, I recognized a lot of those clips, but there was one I didn’t: a CG (I think - very fast clip) growling werewolf beastie. It looked mildly interestign and I want to know what movie it could have been from. It certainly wasn’t Underworld and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t An American Werewolf in Paris. But it looked like it had to have been done within the last 5 years or so. Can anyone help me out here?
Incidentally, if anyone can identify any other odd clips or rarely mentioned flicks they showed, I’d find it interesting.
Are you sure it was CG? I’m not an expert but it looked more animatronic to me. Perhaps something from their lab?
I can’t say for absolute certainty. It was only 2.5 seconds long.
Did anyone catch this last night?
Definitely animatronic. It looked like something out of “The Howling” series of werewolf flicks. I couldn’t find a picture online, so I can’t be for certain.
I just saw this (yay TiVo) and it’s definitely an animatronic beastie, not CGI. And furthermore, I don’t think it’s a clip from a movie. I think it’s videotape produced by having the effects guys bust out their best stuff for the visiting Junkyard Wars producers and crew, or possibly demo footage from behind the scenes of some other project. Either way, it definitely wasn’t film. Note that the other two effects teams provided at least some backstage tours of their facilities. Also, if you look at the credits, you get a listing of exactly which movie clips were provided by the film companies (“Attack of the Clones, copyright by Lucasfilm, used with permission,” etc.), and I didn’t see any werewolf-related titles. So I’m thinking it’s either propietary video owned and supplied by KNB, or video shot by RDF Media (the company that produces Junkyard Wars).
Thanks! I didn’t wnt to think I had missed out on a lovely horrible werewolf movie!
