Ghost VFX LogoGhost VFX Gets Dragged To Hell
 
Drag Me to Hell is a horror film, written and directed by Sam Raimi, with a screenplay by Sam Raimi and Ivan Raimi.
 
The plot revolves around Los Angeles loan officer Christine Brown (Alison Lohman), who tries to impress her boss by refusing to extend a loan to Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver). In retaliation, Ganush places a curse on Christine, which, if not passed on to someone else within three days, will plunge her into the depths of Hell to burn for eternity.
 
Raimi wrote Drag Me to Hell before he had worked on the Spider-Man film series and was his first horror film since directing the Evil Dead film series. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and was released to very positive critical acclaim on its theatrical run in the United States and was a box office success.

Anatomical Travelogue LogoAnatomical Travelogue Releases KrazyKey Plugin
  
This tool is an example of an idea that would be totally impractical (hence the krazy) without a highly parallel GPU-based approach. The algorithm takes each pixel in the input image, and finds the shortest distance (in RGB space) from it to the pixels in the 'selection' image. This requires an every-pixel-to-every-pixel distance calculation, with the final shortest distance value compared to a threshold to determine whether or not to mask the pixel. 

To download the plugin, go to the Anatomical Travelogue website here.
