Fixing the worst VFX shot ever
If you’ve ever seen The Mummy Returns, you know exactly the shot I’m talking about. I’m talking about the terrible CGI when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the Scorpion King walks out with his scorpion body, and it looks absolutely ridiculous and takes you out of what is already a pretty goofy movie.
A YouTube channel called The Corridor Crew decided to use their VFX skills to try to fix the effect — not to redo it or make it perfect, but try to improve the shot as much as possible so it’s not so groan-worthy. The result is actually pretty impressive! It’s not gonna convince you that Dwayne Johnson is actually a scorpion, but it’s still pretty good. This video’s about a year old, but I just saw it this week, so it’s new to me!! Enjoy!
That’s all for me today, gorgeous.
Love,
Kat
