ok sister thread to the snake eyes one.
in a live action film, how would you imagine Zartan's transformation/cloaking to look like? i like how the predator revealed itself in P1 (when he wasn't malfunctioning with the electricity beams) as a guide for when Z comes out of invisibility. what about when he morphs from impersonating someone? Would you think it's like the t2 or that blue girl in xmen? I wondering if it makes sense to have the flesh (face/hands) morph differently than his armor, but how so? lastly, in the 1980s comics (which i'm basing my film on), the artists would draw circles and zigzags to denote light when he changed. It makes sense that Zartan would "bend" light in a way since we was so sensitive to it, but how would that translate in live action? are the circles lens flares? what do you think?

Okay, I let it slide on the first thread, but now you've done it twice. Why would you say "how should something look like?" It's either "how should this look?" or "what should this look like?" but please stop smushing the two together. Even if you're doing it "on accident."
To keep this post germane to the topic, it should look like holographic projections illuminating a fixed space around him. |

I'd rather he be a makeup and disguise artist, rather than some kind of sci-fi morphing guy. At least that's how he does it in my mind.

Zartan:
so the real question is does he use tech? or is it natural? marvelcomics it is tech. new comics it is a genetic thing. tech camo mode Zartan presses a button under the skin of his right fingertip, his body dissolves away atom by atom from head to toe until all that you see, is what was behind him he has become one with the scenery. Disguise mode. Zartan presses his left fingertip utters the word "Duke" under his breath you barely hear it but you see his lips move and the breath escape in the chilled night air. A blip in the night like a tv set that went on the fritz for a second losing its horizontal hold. Sgt Conrad Hauser stands before you, a cheesy grin on his face. secondary disguise mode: Zartan kneels over the slumped form of a bank president he pulls out a micro scanner and a red light washes over the still man, it rolls over his pot belly, and stops at the tip of his scuffed shoes. Then Zartan turns to walk away tucking in his shirt over his large belly. Genetic: Like a chameleon Zartan's form changes in front of her eyes, his skin softens and his lips turn bright red, matching the Hot 305 cover girl lipstick in her purse. The gradual change is too much, one leg then the other it is not instantaneous nor pretty or even consistent spotty at best, an elbow, an ear then a toe, but in a few seconds she screams and faints, it is like looking into a mirror. The clacking of high heels on concrete echoes and grows softer as Zartan leaves the scene.

If you are strictly going with the Marvel comics those are holoprojectors, he even has them on his bike. Buzzer uses them to project the image of a semi at one point, a truck with skulls and chains on it.
and if that was the case I would use the effects similar to those in Quantum Leap when he is leaping but better, not so cutout looking. It was good for the time and served it's purpose but with todays resources it could look very cool, that is if it is in the budget.

there are definitely budgetary constraints but i wanted to start with at least the goal. i was thinking it'd be cool if it was something like the way Venom from spiderman changes but the black is more like shadows than a black suit. not sure if that really makes sense the way i describe it but i could see some type of shadowy transformation between characters that would be less 2D
