Van Helsing is a bad-ass version of any vampire/werewolf movie. The most eye-catching scene in the movie would be the transformations. The one I'm going to focus on would be the transformation of the vampire women from human to flying vampiric creatures. There was a lot of 3D work. The actors were shot in a blue screen environment and they were motion captured from neck down. The heads of the creatures would be in 2D which will be edited in the post-production stage. The legendary Industrial Light & Magic people had no problem taking this tenuous job. The transformation of the main protagonist into a werewolf was also a challenge to the team because they had to consider the fur movement when the character jumps from side to side, attacking the vicious vampire beast in front of him. For the shots that needed tracking, ILM designed custom suits which infrared light could not detect. This made tracking easier for them.
