Un-canny Revealed

In the next session I attended, some students proposals were read out to see if key parts of their work could be interpreted using VFX or SFX (Special effects) for the project.

With my proposal the use of blood dripping down the walls is quite vivid, the tutor liked the visualisation of this effect and it could be done by either injecting the walls or tipping paint from above.

If I was to try and do this effect in editing using Visual effects, I don't think it would have the same feel, I don't think it would look real and it could come across as quite laughable to some. This video show the technique;

Another part of my Proposal that the tutor liked was the movement of the grey body that lies on the floor. Many films I have seen try and interpret the movement of bendy limbs and abnormal ways it (what ever it maybe) moves. What I visualised was something that crawls spider like but also drags it body, I did get inspiration for this from many horror films,

This video scared the hell out of me because of the strange movements that simply aren't supposed to happen.
Even though I have already mentioned the Ring (japanese version) I think it is brilliant way to describe the uncanny. The un-familiarity of the movements from this film I think may have inspired quite an array of horror films.
