WHEW!
Another new footage report at AICN
- Thread starter Mordock
- Start date
WHEW!
Just read over the TrekMovie report and listened to the panel discussion with Team Abrams. Glad to know that they're working on a new trailer, though it sounds like it will be very late in the year before we may see it.
I find it interesting though that J.J. hopes to have the film done by December (despite the 2009 release date), but if they have so little in the way of completed visuals, I'm not sure how that would be possible. That's like just a little over four months to complete a reported 1,000 visual effects. It's already been nearly that much time since prinicipal photography ended, and they don't even have a completed scene to show?

In that same discussion they also said, however, that they are going to take their time on the effects. The way they made it sound, if that means post-production will go past December then so be it. Considering this is ILM we're talking about, if thta means they're taking their time on the effects they will not feel rushed, thus, we'll get ourselves a very polished, high-quality product.
Foundation did some great work on Nemesis (even aside from the other faults in the film) and WETA Workshop certainly holds their own, but no one beats ILM.

I certainly hope that is the case. I want this movie to look as incredible to me as TMP did back in 1979. I want my socks knocked off, both visually and from a storytelling POV as well.
I want it all.
The nonsense about the "fake plastic" prosthetic chest is a fannish "urban legend" that will apparently never die.
It's up there with the claim that the full-color version of "The Cage" is based on secret colorization of the black-and-white work print.
Actually, when Titanic came out there was much ado about the use of CG effects to create the crowd scenes on board ship. The people on deck waving to loved ones as they departed was especially pointed out as cutting edge CG at the time.
Yeah, I'm starting to agree.
What...you're not a fan of "powerless globs of light" that can and do shoot out of several different holes?

Yes, but that hardly constitutes an 'overuse'.
The CGI effects in Titanic were awful!
Well, most were good. But the blue/greenscreen bleedover when the ship was sinking at nighttime wasn't too hot. The starfield overhead wasn't entirely convincing, especially in those shots where the stern sinks and almost pulls Di Caprio and Winslet down under with it.
Several different holes you say? That's hot.

Which shots in particular?
We've had the official debunkation, and yet... I am still left wanting a Vreenak :'(

I look forward to the remastered version of TWoK in which Khan's chest muscles will actually flex and the Starfleet necklace will actually move. That will end this controversy once and for all!
