The history of the horror film “The Sadness“Is about the outbreak of a new virus that is causing people to turn into horrific, bloodthirsty mutants who can think and speak.
The film was produced by Machi Xcelsior Studios and features plenty of bloody makeup by IF SFX Art Maker
Though Taiwanese films typically put restrictions on the amount of blood and gruesome makeup to avoid age rating restrictions, CNA quoted director Robert Anthony Jabbaz as saying he wanted his film to be more realistic flesh and blood for audiences.
IF SFX Art Maker co-founders Esther and Victor Chang told the news agency that people are being infected by a virus that is turning them into a mutant rather than a zombie, and to add a sense of realism, their team had different ones real diseases are researched in order to identify the new type of “infected person“To create.
IF SFX Art Maker designed dozens of special characters for the film, such as angry older women, murderous office workers, and the half-blind, all of whom have distinctive looks.
Regarding the mutants’ appearance, Chang said: “I hoped that those infected would appear very aggressive, not be afraid of pain and also want to attack others.“
Coupled with a large number of blood and gore scenes, the special effects team spent nearly three months creating large numbers of artificial heads, prostheses, organs, and other special props. They also created mock-ups of actors’ heads that could explode, spatter blood, or depict various serious facial and skull injuries.
By creating physical models, the team said it was able to reduce the cost of post-processing computer-generated images.
Interesting that people are turning to this topic in democratic Taiwan, which has handled the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in an exemplary manner.
