I forgot to include a link to our production blog. If the video interests you, then be sure to check it out. The plan is to update the blog once a week.

I posted a thread about it at WotC as well.

Now I'm even more impressed.
I realize the cat wasn't really in the shot, but I had assumed you used some footage of a real Panther and just added it in. The fact that you went to so much trouble getting the cat right is true dedication.
Out of the entire thing, Wulfgar was the only disappointment... but the hammer rocked! (even if it was based on illustrations and not the real one)
Cattie-Brie and Atremis were well-cast - Entreri needs a tan though (he's a Calishite). The look was spot-on, though, and I think he stole the scenes from Drizzt. |

Sorry, but the cat was never there ;)
Guenhwyvar is 600lbs, but real panthers are like 90-130lbs with a very... floppy way of moving. A real black panther would have been highly disappointing.
Instead we rotoscoped some stock footage of female lions, color corrected them to make them black. Even then it still looked like a black lion, so we took photos of panther eyes and noses from various angles and tracked them onto the lion's face.
The end result was a 600lb panther that fits the paintings of Guenhwyvar fairly well :D
It turned out great! Thanks again for sharing and hopefully whatever your working on next. |

In the old paintings, Wulfgar's hammer is depicted that way, but it was never described like that in the novels. What we went with is fairly close to Todd Lockwood's design of the hammer.

I'm not quite getting the disagreement over the hammer.
I talked about the books' description of Aegis-fang's appearance in the latter half of this post <over here>. |
