Digital Anarchy Releases Free Video Filter: Ugly Box Enhances Skin Damage to
Make Subjects Look Worse

The Perfect Halloween Filter Makes Talent Look Like Zombies in After
Effects, Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro


San Francisco, CA - October 31st, 2012 - Digital Anarchy today 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 Glenn Beck. 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.

Here is a rundown of the plain ol' ugly features:

-    Ease of Use: Just press the Make Ugly button!
