![]() was flimsy, and the material was weird, and it was sort of windy. The hood kept getting stuck in her horns. In the final version of the sequence, Doric shifts back into her tiefling form twice, once into a suit of armor after running around as a mouse and another after a brief transformation into a cat.ĭespite the complexity of the scenes, which risked falling into the “uncanny valley” during Doric’s transitions, one of the most complicated shots centered on a seemingly simply movement: Doric back in her tiefling form after having been a cat, trying to pull a hood up over her head before walking out into the busy streets of the town. “So we changed it so she changed back into herself more.” Preparation for the sequence included storyboards and a rough animation during the previsualization stage - which allowed the team to notice “that you kind of lost your connection to Doric herself” in the initial version, said Snow. One of the challenges for a single long shot, explained the film’s production visual-effects supervisor, Ben Snow, is “How do we break that up into filmable segments? And how do we spot where the blends are going to be between those different segments?” While Doric does not transform into an owlbear during her big escape sequence, she does Wild Shape into six different creatures over the course of the chase: a fly, a mouse, a bird, a cat, a deer and an Axe Beak - a fictional, tall, flightless bird unique to D&D, its movements here based on ostriches.Īdmittedly, one-take sequences “are not easy to do” according to the directors, who got a taste for them after including one in 2018’s “ Game Night.” “She kind of is most comfortable in her own skin when she’s these other creatures.” “She may seem kind of reserved and doesn’t say a lot within the context of the group, but her most free when she’s these other animals, especially the owlbear,” said Daley. A druid technically wouldn’t be allowed to shape-shift into an owlbear under current D&D rules, but Daley cited the “Rule of Cool” - which allows dungeon masters to ignore some rules for the sake of the story - as their justification. Earlier films have been poorly received, but the latest lands at a time when the game is enjoying a renaissance.ĭoric’s most impressive transformation is into an owlbear, a fierce, feathered monster with the head of an owl and the build and body of a bear. ![]() ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ launches the SXSW Film Festival and is the latest attempt to adapt the popular role playing game.
