Thanks for posting this. A lot of what I thought I had read about the production of this movie turns out to be crap.
Where would Hollywood be right now with the Weta workshop?
opps. I mean’t ” without “.
That was great fun. I love seeing various faces from the LOTR extras on other films. I have a real soft spot for everyone who made that happen. Very cool to see how motion capture has advanced since Gollum, especially enjoyed watching the actors actually perform their parts.
It’s amazing how abstract the process is, how the filmmakers have to hold hundreds of pieces separate in their imaginations that only come together at the end.The fluid camera moves that Cameron’s process allowed did a lot to sell the realism of Pandora. The camera was always circling, tracking, hunting, a very aggressive directorial style.
All the equipment has a kludged-together garage look, bristling with cords and dials and whatnot. You can think forward a decade or two when all that equipment becomes sleek and professionalized, and cameras look like simple, small windowpanes, and the computerized transformation of any person into any other person or creature becomes routine.
