Interesting Special Effect




I chose a special effect from The Mummy (1999) which shows Imhotep (played by Arnold Vosloo) chewing on a scarab that comes out of the side of his neck. This is one of my favorite films, and I thought it was interesting to see the process of this special effect being made. The clip above shows the CGI (computer generated image) process in which they made this effect. It describes how they first began with a computer model of Vosloo's face, to create the decayed area, before adding a scarab to run from a hole in his neck to the side of his face. Below I've included the clip from the movie that shows the completed process.
