How did self-described "director and VFX freak" Benni Diez add an old-school Tron sheen to footage from Aliens in his video, "Get Away From Her, You 01000010 01001001 01010100 01000011 01001000 !!!"?
Diez describes the process like this.
"Pretty much all FX stuff was done in [Adobe] After Effects, mostly using some circuit-board layout images overlaid with a glow effect," he writes on the Vimeo page for the clip. "And then hand-animating the different elements over the film footage. Editing in Premiere Pro. A few shots (close-ups of the queen) done in 3D Studio Max. It was a massive amount of frames to animate, but once you are in crazy mode, you just replace sleep with coffee."
Diez created the "Tronitized" video for a shot at winning tickets to Ain't It Cool News' Butt-Numb-a-Thon 12 movie marathon. See more Tronitized video clips, from The Big Lebowski to A Clockwork Orange, on the Ain't It Cool News site.
