The Heart
This shot called for the creature to enter from the top of frame and pull out the police officer's heart. As the creature exits the same way he enters, the police officer has a gapping hole in his chest. For this shot to work several different plates needed to be shot.

1 -- A foreground plate with the action of the police officer and the creature dropping in from the top of frame.

2 — A background plate of a group of police officers shining flashlights.

3 — The hole in the chest element was created by shooting a mannequin with a hole in its chest as grips shined flashlights through the hole.

Comping the Shot
Using Adobe After Effects, compositor Buddy Gheen created a hole in the police officer's chest.

For Buddy to create the illusion of the police officer having a large hole in his chest he first had to cut out the hole in the mannequin element. He then selected a section of the film where the flashlights are shining through and illuminating the hole. Once that element was chosen Buddy comped that element on the back of the police officer. The trick to this shot was tracking the hole on the back of the police officer as he moved from side to side and eventually fell forward.
