The Ultimate Superheroines Forum

Hey all, After taking almost all of 2014 off, I want to start taking clips from videos and adding SPFX again. A fan suggested that I make clips from "Mixed Superheroines 5" and "Spell Of The Harem Girl 1." As I do not have these videos, can anyone vouch for the quality of the hyp...

If you are going to do a complete reboot, then I would ask that you title it something other than "Heroine Transformations." That might allow your story ideas to stand better on their own and prevent the unavoidable "comparing reboot to original" debate. (How many people prefer a...

I have posted a clip from Virago: Origins, with some additional SPFX added by me. http://www.vimeo.com/15487256 Hi,did you stil keep this video at anywhere,I cannot find any info about above Could you show me any clue to find this? Yes, I have posted almost all the clips I've done on videobam, whic...

Hello, everyone! It's been a while since I've posted anything. I have nothing new to add at this point (going to produce some new FX shots soon and new sky shot for flying composites, but nothing yet) but I wanted to let producers out there know I am still around and available to do visual effects s...

rklein

I responded as well. I have done a lot of video editing and added SPFX to a lot of movies over the years and would like to help out if I can

Sorry for the bump, but I got the HTML for the youtube link to work properly

rklein

(Haven't done this in a while -- shameless plug) Doing special effects and adding visual effects to movies is vital nowadays to "selling" some shots, and it has gotten much easier than even just a few short years ago. But in case you are a producer who doesn't know how to do them or doesn'...

rklein

No, HT is not quite dead yet. I've got at least one more chapter left in me.

rklein

Hello everyone, In recent months I have been slowly working on the next chapter of 'Heroine Transformations' and am wondering how people would prefer I post. When I finally get done, would people prefer that I add it to this thread so that all chapters are in one place, or should I just post separat...

rklein

For those of you who are fans if the HT story.... There is another chapter on the way. I was thinking about it recently and an idea hit me like an anvil! There is a character I have not used yet, and it was so blindingly obvious to me that I should have used her already, that I now cannot not have h...

Hello, everyone! A few months ago I posted a reel of some of the SPFX work I have done. Once again I have edited my FX reel Almost nothing has changed, but I wasn't happy with the two, very short shots that showed off a lightning effect. Recently I have had the opportunity to do some new shots with ...

rklein

Very cool

rklein

I hope so too. That would be nice.

rklein

Thank you for the kind words, Mr. X. I take pride in the knowledge that all my effects are built from scratch and each is unique - even if some look alike (I seem to like my MC with green eyes). I don't like seeing shoddy or pre-packaged effects that are used "right out of the box." Each s...

Whoa, I'm sorry about that, guys! I must have had my compression settings a little to high.

I have re-formatted at a lower compression and reposted. You should be able to view it clearer now.

Hey all!

I've finished work on a little clip from "Rise of Cleopatra" with additional visual effects added for the swinging pendant and the heroine's eyes.

Let me know what you think!

rklein

Thanks!

Dr. M - I think your demo reel was of some older stuff 'cuz you said you had a HD crash.

Any chance you'll be able to recover some newer shots?

rklein

Apologies, my friend.

I could see the link fine from my desktop, but the link is broken from my iPad and I'll bet for some reason it isn't working for most anyone else either.

I'm going to try to fix it, but in the meantime here is a link to the reel on videobam.

Hello, again! Seeing as how the SPFX site I am setting up is going to be called "Flying Superheroines", it seemed only fitting that I offer some scenes for heroines to be flying in. At the moment I have 13 clips of sky scenes, They are shots that have had the speed greatly increased so the...

rklein

Hey, guys! I'm working on a website to advertise my Special Effects services, but I wanted to get together a FX demo reel and show it here first. It shows a variety of FX I have done over the years for Hypnoticsworld videos, for other producers, and some of my own productions. My rates are amazingly...

rklein

I agree with swampy....motion blur, and I would feather the edges a lot more. I think what swampy mean by disconnection (and I agree) is that the shape of the smoke layer doesn't really conform to the shape of DrM....it is just a mound-shaped smoke effect that could hide anything, and it doesn't rea...

rklein

Hmmm.....does this mean I'm the "old" FX guy?

LOL

rklein

I know I've been pretty quiet lately on the forum, and I haven't done another SPFX clip in a long time.....but at long last, here is a clip I did adding more effects to Heroine Transformations. http://videobam.com/VNCON (The full clip is nearly 9 minutes long, but I wanted to cut it down and make it...

rklein

IMHO: Soft-core is more likely to keep the hypno- and superheroine-fetish elements involved....but also requires more work because I think it allows (and demands) more story elements, requires much better acting and direction, and appeals to a smaller audience. Hard-core is easier to do and will app...

I have been working with photoshop for over 15 years and have done all kinds of photo edits.

Let me know what you have in mind and I'll let you know what I can do for you.

rklein

This might be a good opportunity to do something with a lot of FX for a magic/battle scene, and for the magical transformation sequence we have been discussing.

Thoughts?

rklein

Oh, ok. Sorry, I thought you were using photoshop.

I don't know much about using Paint.

The image of super girl in purple running fingers through her hair is very good, I think the best of the bunch.

rklein

The color on the blue portions of the supergirl-harley is flat, you should use dodge and burn tools to make some highlights and shadows.

The selections for the colorations could be a little tighter. Do you know how to make selections with channel masks?

rklein

Evangeline:

Let me know if you want any help with the keying or any effects.

I have done A LOT of keying over the years, and have added effects to a lot of clips from videos on this site.

rklein

I wouldn't mind putting up a few bucks.

If there is a little something at stake, it makes the whole thing more fun.

rklein

OK, its looking like there WILL be a football season this year.....so what will this involve?

rklein

Yeah, assuming that there actually is going to be a football season this year.....I'd take part.

rklein

Zen (and anyone else who is interested in doing photomanips) To do edits like those, you need to start by saving out a black & white version of the image. On the color version, paint on the clothing in a medium shade of color and then use the b&w version as a displacement map to edit the clo...

rklein

Whoa......very cool looking!

Can't wait to see what the new adventures are!

rklein

That little button that says "New Topic" on the previous page.... you really need to hit that button and develop this on a different forum page

rklein

Thank you!

I would very much welcome the opportunity to work together with Mighty on a full-length video. I've sent him a script and technical details involved in shooting to pull off several different types of FX, just waiting to hear if he wants to do it. [-o<

rklein

I have posted a clip from Virago: Origins, with some additional SPFX added by me.

rklein

Batgirl, that SUCKS!

Yes, by all means keep your private life private, and don't let anyone here of anywhere else try to talk you into doing something you don't want to do.

rklein

Very nice start! I agree that is does read like a 60's episode. Can't wait to see where it goes, I love it!

rklein

Hey there! Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you... I've been gone on vacation this past week and was totally separated from any Internet access. Anyway, I'm back now. I would be happy to incorporate Zara into a future chapter. I only have a very bare outline of a plot for the next chapter...

rklein

Nice! I like the description of both Zara's look and costume, and her powers! (the astronomy part of me has a slight issue with her origin...but, whatever...) :) Based on your desciption of her "look", I might Photoshop up an image of what she looks like. :twisted: Of course, I would get y...

rklein

Since you are going to be using Supergirl and villains with similar superpowers... are you planning on having them fly :-k

rklein

I'm not sure who you are disagreeing with, rb, myself or Blx. I certainly do like bringing together as many different fantasy universes as I can into my story, but neither this latest chapter nor the last chapter involved what I consider "superheroines", and I can appreciate if some reader...

rklein

Fair enough. I never really read comic books and don't know much about the less-popular superheroines, which is part of the reason that I went with Lana and Buffy. But before I do another chapter I will look into using actual "super"heroines again.

rklein

So.....should there be more chapters? :twisted:

rklein

As always, thank you for the words of support.

rklein

Chapter 7 Walking along the college green, Buffy Summers couldn’t help but roll her eyes and laugh to herself at all the attention she was getting. Her extended adventures in Sunnydale had resulted in her now being slightly older than the main body of students at RK University, but her looks and bod...

rklein

Thanks for the words of confidence :) I remember that I used to bang out the chapters in one afternoon or within a day or two, but this chapter is taking MUCH longer to write. I am done with the first draft, however, so now its just a matter of reading it through again and editing it to get everythi...

rklein

For those interested, after taking a break of I don't know how many years and saying that I wouldn't write any more...I am working on the next chapter of Heroine Transformations. Should be up relatively soon.
