Special and Visual Effects : True blood vampire speed up effect.

True blood vampire speed up effect.

This effect is possibly the worst thing I have ever seen.
It's an integral part of the show. How can it be made better?
It's driving me batty. Heh

Thanks in advance.

Smile and wave boys...Just smile and wave...

Re: True blood vampire speed up effect.

That is a pretty corny effect. The only thing I can think of to make it more realistic is the use of motion blur. However, many of the effects on True Blood seem to be intentionally campy (I'm thinking of the sound effect used to bare/retract the fangs, etc..) so the speeding vampires in perfect focus fit in with the show's look.

I guess this kind of effect is normally achieved with a jump cut showing a character turn to run away but the superspeeding vampire/superhero is already standing in front of where they were going to run
