The Mask is a classic movie that surprisingly still holds up incredibly well even by today's standards, and even though the movie was a great success, it has never really received all the credit it is due. Maybe this is because it was released in 1994, alongside films like Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, or True Lies, or perhaps it is because of its light-hearted comedic screenplay, but The Mask just wasn't taken seriously even though it pushed the limits of what was possible with VFX and became the first film to have a photo-real 3-D cartoon character using computer animation.

The Mask movie was loosely based on a comic of the same name which in turn was based on the works of the cartoonist legend Tex Avery. The works of Tex Avery were heavily referenced throughout the movie in various ways: with props, Images, Gags and iconic movements.
In fact, Avery's work was referenced so much that it actually became part of the look and the personality of The Mask himself and for the style of the visual effects.
VFX artists at ILM studied Tex Avery's work and began to build up a library of drawings and clips for use as reference material.
ILM then did a photo shoot with Jim Carrey and then their art department began manipulating his face to get an idea of how far they could go and just how it would look...

Fun fact: Jim also saved some VFX money as he can be really flexible with facial expressions and make exaggerated facial gestures ( just like a cartoon). Having such exaggerated facial expressions for the Mask character was intended since the beginning, and they thought they would do it with VFX in the post but when Jim started acting, they didn't have to.

They did have than change the make up several times though as early concept ideas actually limited what he could do from under the mask he was originally going to wear. They had a similar issue with Robin Williams in Bicentennialman as the director wanted him to be able to emote from under the robot mask so they had to design it in segmented parts to give him that freedom to move as if it were his own face. There's concept design photos floating around you can see the original prototype was much thicker and closer to how it looked in the comics but Jim couldn't really emote with that mask on. The final version they ended up with was much lighter and does allow him the freedom to move with it on. So they might have saved on the VFX budget but the trade off is a higher make up/prosthetics budget to make sure that Jim can actually still be expressive with the mask on.

I watched this film billion times when I was kid. Even then I was absolutely amazed by the level of visual effects. Now, after all these years (I haven't seen it since the late 90s I think), I watched this fragments shown in your video and I got to say I'm amazed even more! What a wonderful tandem of practical and digital effects. It is a little bit fun that the quality of visual effects was so much better than nowadays ones, just because the CGI was weaker and harder to make than now, so they got to use practical effects to balance result quality. Now, when every kid can make pretty nice and realistic CGI on his own PC, the big studios decided to not using any practical effects at all, because "everything you can imagine you can just draw by yourself". Thanks for the video. I'm definitely going to review it.

Interesting fact about Tex Avery: During some office horseplay at his time at the Walter Lantz studio, a thumbtack or paper clip flew into Avery's left eye and caused him to lose sight in that eye. Some speculate it was his lack of depth perception that gave him his unique look at animation and bizarre directorial style, but it did not stop his creative career. Part of the typical crude horseplay at the studio was using a rubber band or a paper spitball to target the back of a colleague's head. Animator Charles Hastings decided to take the game one step further, by using a wire paper clip instead. Avery heard one of his colleagues telling him to look out. He reacted by turning around. Instead of the back of his head, the paper clip hit Avery in his left eye.

Avery is a pretty based last name if I do say so myself. I love The Mask, especially the performance of Cuban Pete, but learning about what went on behind the scenes makes me appreciate the movie even more. Jim Carrey perfected the role, but the crew who made these effects possible are just as talented. Together they made the movie the masterpiece that it is

Being born in the 90' I loved this movie so much, used to love the game too. I remember my cousin made a mask, just as real as the movie, and I was astonished by it.. I tried it on, it didn't work, but I could still feel the magic in it. Oh those magical days!

Lovely video. I remember getting this on DVD back in the day and being super stoked to see one of the deleted scenes, the lead-in where ancient Norsemen had actually put Loki into the mask... I mean, I had no idea that it was actually filmed until around when I got the DVD and marketers announced "hey this is an extra feature!", so OMG, I did one of those wolf head wowzer expressions! Great work on this video, the new fun from this movie keeps it fresh. Cheers!

I love how a lot of the best parts of old movies like this are problems that are solved in unconventional ways. The teeth are one of them and I think this is why a lot of people love these movies over ones nowadays. People worked with what they had and had to really love what they did, otherwise you could tell because solving these problems required creative thinking. Now, there's much easier and much cheaper ways of doing these things. It's like in gaming when players find an easier way to complete an objective over the dev intended way. Easier wins, harder doesn't.

​@@ScottSquires Scott - you were VFX supervisor on the mask? how were shots matchmoved back then? was it entirely manual or were there software solutions? boujou didn't exist! In terms of matching lighting, my assumption would be that there was no HDRI capability at the time, so I'm guessing it was just down to taking reference photos on set and artistry on the part of the 3d animator? I'm fascinated by older but very solid looking VFX like this, and the limitations that had to be overcome at the time.
@ScottSquires
@ScottSquires Рік тому
@@cahal Yes, I was the VFX supe. Matching moving was all done by hand. We'd take measurements, build basic geometrics and match it by eye. Lighting - would shoot references when possible such as the clock in the hallway but no chrome/gray spheres yet at that time. Also woudl make lighting diagrams on set which lights were where. So lighting mostly by eye.
