District 9 Fluid Device(SPOILER)

[itsalive]

I started on this based on screen caps from the trailer.
Can't make out the text on the bottom.

Thank You.
Any idea what font was used?

i would be willing to pay up to and including 5 tins of cat food for that prop.

my gut instinct tells me the whole tube was clear and the rest sprayed on, leaving the window.

[itsalive]

Kartika font seems to work out ok- not sure if it's the right one though

 

[punisher]

I think you're reaching a bit.

The entire piece looks machined to me.

LOL
I think its definitely not machined.

 

[dr_slurpee]

There's no seam line at the other end so I don't think the tube itself is a marker, not to say the cap isn't.

I was looking at hair spray and moose cans at work this morning and noticed almost all the current cans are rounded on the bottom as in one solid piece.
The larger cans still have a separate piece for the bottom.

I see nothing in the video that "pops up". The can looks completely stationary and exactly the same when it sprays.

I couldn't find an appropriate pic of Wikus in his dress shirt and tie for the badge, but here's a rather too-casual looking Sharlto Copely to stand in for now.:lol

I also "digitized" the barcode box a little more... hope you don't mind my tinkering.

Interesting, he's got a bit of a Luke Wilson look to him, doesn't he?

 

[phase pistol]

Somewhere in the footage of Wikus at his desk before he goes out (at the start of the film) will be a good "ID card" frame I think... this is the best I could do with the tiny snippet of it that's in one of the online featurettes.

 

[Zodou]

^ :lol

It looks good but for some reason that shot of him with his mouth open kills me!

It works though, for who he was before -- the incident.

 

[JHP]

Here's some constructive criticism: A scan of one of those yellow chips on a real ID card would look a lot better IMO. I'll try to scan my military ID chip for an accurate image. Also, the larger text and the smaller text are blurred a little differently in the image. I think it would look better if they matched.

 

[Clutch]

Why not just use real foil for the chip?

 

[JHP]

Why not just use real foil for the chip?

They aren't aluminum foil-like, they resemble a copper-like material and are about a millimeter thick. Here are some iphone pics of a chip I just took:

Hope those help!

:lol I liked it because it looked like the worst possible photo of him, which is what you would have on an ID card... :rolleyes

A screen grab of him with that insipid grin from the same scene, would do nicely I think!

And BTW apologies to Itsalive, whose artwork I hijacked to make my version. :$

 

[cayman shen]

The rounded end and the prongs remind me a bit of a pneumatic tube, like on a door.

I like it as well. GREAT JOB

 

[itsalive]

I got a new one going as a SVG. Much cleaner. Need more tweaks still.

It's cool, have at it. I jumped in on Division 6's paper attempt with no ill will ment. Community is what this place is all about. MooCriket's thread is the one that's getting Hijacked. Sorry Moo.
