Re: Female Werewolf needles in a haystack
 

True. Is is still, by far, the best low budget female werewolf transformation ever: a cute naked asian woman sweating and crying out in pain, and fortunately with not much off-camera and no skin-ripping. Even there was an edited version done by someone from this forum that I still keep as a treasure.

As a curiosity, the version that appears in a later compilation of shot films has different music due to,I suppose, copyright issues (not Elvis nor Bowie this time).

Another hint: I remember that in an interview the director commented that the FX cost approx 500 USD. That is real economy of means :D.

There is some hope that CGI won’t be exclusively used. First of all, as I mentioned before, since Landis is the son of the original’s writer and director, it would make sense that he would want to honor the source material and use (at least mostly) practical effects for the TF. From a more pragmatic standpoint, however, don’t forget the ‘90s sequel, “American Werewolf in Paris,” bombed hard, and one of those reasons was because they relied almost exclusively on CGI for the TFs. I remember excitedly reading reviews of the movie when it came out (before I discovered how terrible it was), and even mainstream critics were bothered by the overuse of “computer graphics” for the transformation (what they called it before the popularity of the acronym “CGI”). They said the transformation wasn’t anywhere near as “realistic” as the original, which was ironic since special effects presumably advanced in the 15 years between those two movies. So if even most critics, who almost assuredly don’t share our fetish, complained about the CGI TF, it’s likely or at least hopeful that Landis will use mostly practical effects to distance himself from that critical and commercial failure. Now, it’s true that since “AWIP,” there have been a number of female werewolf productions that ended up also using CGI for the TFs, most notably the aptly named “Cursed,” a production that literally kicked Rick Baker out for some godforsaken reason. But this remake at least has that “AWIL” connection where the iconic TF was so essential to the movie, so it would make sense it would follow in that classic’s pawprints.

Would be great if someone could make an edit of this. The inbetween shots of the guy are wayyy too long

Re: Female Werewolf needles in a haystack
 

Someone did a long time ago.

Re: Female Werewolf needles in a haystack
 

Wish someone did an edit that included the actual werewolf suit at the end. (This clip cuts off right before we see her final form.) For a low-budget short, I was impressed with what they ended up with.

Re: Female Werewolf needles in a haystack
 

Here, I uploaded the edit I've had saved on my computer. The final form isn't shown for very long, so there won't be much difference. Some of the parts in this edit are slowed down, though.

Thanks! Now, if someone knows how to play with sound, adding a few husky and sexy moans would help. I always felt the sound effects were one of the few weak parts of this clip. (At one point, it sounds like a baby crying in the background.) I know. Now I'm just getting greedy.

Re: Female Werewolf needles in a haystack
 

Did anyone in this forum happen to save the short film M is for Moon (later known as Hello Moon)? Here's the trailer to jog your memory:

https://vimeo.com/108617860

It used to be on Vimeo and was posted in this thread ages ago, but now it's gone. I know this would be better suited in requests... but since we are on the topic of old Vimeo videos and since the only people who would know this video are long time followers of this thread, I thought I would ask here.

Re: Female Werewolf needles in a haystack
 

I second this. I've been looking all over the place for that video since it went down on Vimeo. If any kind soul happens to have it, I'd be very grateful.

Re: Female Werewolf needles in a haystack
 

Unfortunately, I have been searching for this video for ages and the answer is no... as you say, our only hope is someone who had saved the video before. Anyway, you can also ask on the request thread, maybe you could have luck there too :).
