Digital Anarchy Releases Ugly Box

Digital Anarchy announces Ugly Box, a free filter for enhancing skin damage.

San Francisco, CA -- Digital Anarchy announced Ugly Box, a free filter for enhancing skin damage. With the advent of HD, viewers expect to see every last wrinkle, scar, and oozing pore on zombies, witches, and news commentators. Ugly Box uses Digital Anarchy’s award winning Beauty Box skin retouching algorithms to accentuate all the skin detail on undead talent. This creates the effect of making talent look older, uglier, or just plain hideous. Ugly Box supports Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Apple Final Cut Pro 7 & 10.0.6.

“Urrgghhhharrrr, braaaainnsss”, said a zombie who uses Ugly Box.

The award-winning Beauty Box Video plugin has been used widely to reduce blemishes, wrinkles and makeup problems on film, video and photos. Since version 2.0, Beauty Box also has the ability to make skin look worse. Ugly Box breaks out that functionality into a separate tool. This free filter automatically tracks the skin tones in a video and masks out those areas, allowing users to enhance the undead skin texture or make deathly white color correction to the skin areas.

“We’ve got a bunch of zombies outside!“ said Jim Tierney, President of Digital Anarchy. “Oh wait, maybe they’re just Giants fans…”

Users who want more control over their subjects’ skin can purchase Beauty Box Video 2.0. Beauty Box makes talent look better by removing blemishes, wrinkles, and makeup problems. In addition to feature films, music videos, and commercials, Beauty Box is used frequently on zombie dating sites. Sometimes you just need to look good…
