A quick glimpse into how we brought Frankenstein to life for @shakeandstir’s critically acclaimed theatrical adaptation 🎭

We explored classic depictions of the creature and reshaped them for the stage, all while staying true to its gothic roots.

The final makeup design used a series of custom prosthetic pieces across the head, face, and back, all applied and blended with temporary tattoo transfers for a seamless finish.

FORMATION EFFECTS REIMAGINE CINEMA'S LEGENDARY SERPENT 🐉🖌️

Stepping into iconic creature territory, Brisbane-based special effects and VFX studio @formation_effects were invited to design all practical gags in @sonypictures' Anaconda!

Working alongside director @tomgormican and @ilmvfx, Formation developed detailed digital sculpts before manufacturing full-scale practical builds, including a 3-D printed head and a 3-metre puppeteered body section, seamlessly integrating VFX and functioning models for maximum on-screen menace.

Discover how Formation delivered creature craftsmanship at epic scale 🤯 Link in bio

Creature Feature: Beast of War 🦈
 
• Shazza the great white shark took approx. 4 months to complete, involving 20 dedicated Formation Effects crew across various stages of the build process.
• The animatronic head measured 2.4m in length and weighed roughly half a tonne.
• Specialised puppeteer/diver @chrisbridgewater controlled the puppet shark head underwater on scuba, allowing it to perform precise movements - including realistic ‘bite’ actions with actors.

Watch Beast of War now on @shudder @primevideo @amcplus & @appletv 🎬

Ver Historias de Instagram en Secreto

El Instagram Story Viewer es una herramienta sencilla que te permite ver y guardar en secreto historias, videos, fotos o IGTV de Instagram. Con este servicio, puedes descargar contenido y disfrutarlo sin conexión cuando lo desees. Si encuentras algo interesante en Instagram que quieras revisar más tarde o si prefieres ver historias de forma anónima, nuestro visor es perfecto para ti. Anonstories ofrece una excelente solución para mantener tu identidad oculta. Instagram lanzó la función de Historias en agosto de 2023, adoptada rápidamente por otras plataformas debido a su formato dinámico y temporal. Las Historias permiten a los usuarios compartir actualizaciones rápidas, como fotos, videos o selfies, mejoradas con texto, emojis o filtros, y son visibles por solo 24 horas. Este marco de tiempo limitado genera un alto compromiso en comparación con las publicaciones regulares. En el mundo actual, las Historias son una de las formas más populares de conectar y comunicarse en redes sociales. Sin embargo, al ver una Historia, el creador puede ver tu nombre en su lista de visualizaciones, lo cual puede ser una preocupación de privacidad. ¿Qué hacer si deseas explorar Historias sin ser detectado? Aquí es donde Anonstories resulta útil. Te permite ver contenido público de Instagram sin revelar tu identidad. Simplemente ingresa el nombre de usuario del perfil que te interesa, y la herramienta mostrará sus Historias más recientes. Funciones de Anonstories Viewer: - Navegación anónima: Mira Historias sin aparecer en la lista de visualizaciones. - Sin cuenta requerida: Ve contenido público sin necesidad de registrarte en Instagram. - Descarga de contenido: Guarda cualquier Historia directamente en tu dispositivo para usarla sin conexión. - Ver Destacados: Accede a Destacados de Instagram, incluso fuera del período de 24 horas. - Monitoreo de reposts: Rastrea reposts o niveles de compromiso en Historias de perfiles personales. Limitaciones: - Esta herramienta solo funciona con cuentas públicas; las cuentas privadas permanecen inaccesibles. Beneficios: - Amigable con la privacidad: Mira cualquier contenido de Instagram sin ser detectado. - Fácil y sencillo: Sin instalación de aplicaciones ni registro necesario. - Herramientas exclusivas: Descarga y gestiona contenido de formas que Instagram no ofrece.
