Watch some of the weta BTS.
What they did was spending enormous amount of time on practical effects. Then they kept adding layer after layer of cgi until it was pretty much unrecognizable. I am talking specifically about >>64659674

I honestly think this is much worse than if they just did the cgi.

They aren't prequels though. Just episodes 1-3. A prequel would happen before 1-3.

It probably is fake in the final cut. They do a shit load of post processing to sets and things. Sometimes they completely CG over a practical effect.

That's how it works. You don't make "Part 5" the call "Part 4" a prequel. You call whatever comes before "Part 1" in the story line a "Prequel".

It is as bad as when people celebrated the new century when the 1999-2000 new year rolled around.

In episodes 5 and 6 they got the real guy. He was busy during the filming of episode 1 so they had to use a puppet, which is why it looks so shitty.

In episodes 2 and 3 he was too old to do all the action scenes they wanted, so they just had him as a stand in for the cgi version you'd see in the finished movies.

It's like an uncanny valley of CGI.
All sets? Great!
All CGI? Tolerable.
Some sets with that much CGI poured on them? Shit.

That's really the biggest problem of the prequels; they were just too ugly. I'd have overlooked most of the story problems if Lucas just made movies that didn't look worse than in the fucking 70s.

Great thread!

I am now in love with prequels (except Jar Jar, that was little bit too much, but it is not that bad, when if you compere it to that soulless BB8 toy).

TFA is shit and everything about it are lies. I have never expected that TFA will implode so well. But it happened and now we can understand what true SW movie is.

Fuck Kasdan who wrote that unoriginal piece of crap and Jew Jew with his lies about practical effects.

Is that true? Even with the man hours you'd need to pay artists to do all the close up Commander Cody scenes and stuff?

Do you think that's the sole reason? Just look at how many celebrities volunteered to cameo in the new movie for free. I bet any number of fans would have taken dismal dayplayer sums to wear a stormtrooper costume and stand in formation.

What's the point in making all these practical sets if they are just going to jizz cgi all over them in post-production so they all look like cgi anyway?

Forced perspective is very limited in it's use. It wouldn't work in a scene with lots of people and lots of camera movement.

>>64662280
not bait. i just don't think it would really be "jarring." battle scenes are filled in all the time with CGI players in the background and real players in the foreground. I'm saying if you can't detect that a static image is a painting after post processing, it's not very likely an out of focus CG character would have been that noticeable

That's why in a scene with LOTS of people you use cgi, or simply copy one person again and again, also like they did in Lord of the Rings for the huge army shots.
>>
>>64662326

even less reason height differences in stormtroopers is indicative that it is impossible to have actors hired specifically for their build to look uniform when wearing molded plastic armor

If you're actually serious and not trying to force your contrarian 17 year old brain into thinking that, then I don't know what to tell you.

The Plinkett reviews, while entertaining at the time, are ignorantly opinionated original content. What I mean by that is the majority of the flaws pointed out were original. Plinkett made them up. People began to parrot Plinkett and still continue to do so but they are his opinions. Only a few of them were shared by the rest of us. I hated the prequels to but I've come to an understanding that they are what they are and I have grown to like RotS and even think AotC isn't that bad (I used to despise it). Fuck Red Letter Media.

The Star Wars prequels are a strange beast

Some of the worst looking stuff is practical effects.
Some of the CGI is absolutely amazing.

Some scenes look mind bogglingly real then you realise it's CG, while some look noticeably fake and they turn out to be miniatures.

I'm chalking it up to it being early days for digital film making and people not really knowing what they're doing/doing a hell of a lot under time constraints

The one thing to take home from this is: At least they tried. And you can tell that they really tried.

I think they had release dates already announced and were definitely working to a deadline. For example, it is well known that Episodes II and III started haveing their sets built before the scripts were even finished, and may have even stared shooting with incomplete scripts, meaning that similar issues could have occurred with the effects.

I wonder how much better they would have looked/how much better the script could have been if they just took like 5 years to make a film.

Also yes, Snoke and Maz Kanata in TFA were only "finalised" in October, meaning they only had like 1-2 months to render the CGI, and it is really noticeable because Snoke looks much worse than General Grievous ever did

>computers are cheaper than people, no unions, no craft services, etc
A couple of problems with this. Jake the Mess was still on set, except he was wearing a a blue leotard so they could put the armor in later.

For everyone else they're just wearing helmets, and have no lines, which mean's they're not required to be a member of SAG, they're just extras.

I can understand using digital clones for wide shots, in the background, in effect shots, etc. But when it's 6 clones in frame, and only one speaks, all you need is a casting call for a dozen people who are 6ft with a medium build. That's not even kind of difficult.

The only thing I can think of is that doing a mixed bag, like REAL troopers in one shot, CG in the next, is that the changeover is TOO obvious. But since they never made a single piece of clone armor, I don't know how that can be true.

There's one shot at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith that Lucas talks about in the director's commentary where you can clearly see two unmasked troopers with exactly the same face piloting a proto-x-wing

The sleek look of the prequels is not due to "bad cgi" but an artistic choice by Lucas. I often laugh when I sea people complaining about interiors being too clean and shiny in the prequels. Do you really expect dirt and grit in the luxurious Jedi Temple or the offices of the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic Sheeve Palpatine !?? Some people are so dumb...

George decided to use new digital camera technology to shoot the movie. Problem was the resolution of those cameras is about equivalent to what you can do with an iPad or a GoPro today.

Film does a lot better in masking the imperfections of things like makeup, sets and miniatures, while Digital has a greater tendency to make it look fake. It's the same reason why the Hobbit movies look so crappy.

>>64664713
There is still not even PS4 games that look like this. What the fuck are you people on?

>>
>>64664752
>George decided to use new digital camera technology to shoot the movie.
The Phantom Menace was shot mostly on Film. Lucas, wanting to push digital cameras, announced that he had shot a few scenes digitally and put them in the movie, and challenged people to figure out what was film, and what was digital.

The night shot on Tatooine where Qui-Gon is talking to anakin and his mom outside their house is definitely one of them.
>>
>>64664757
the new battlefront looks objectively better than that scene
>>
>>64662106
Because it was cheaper and saved on rendering time to build miniatures or shoot live-action plates rather then have all digital buildings and stuff.

Are you high? The thing that made the OT stand out was that all of the technology looked used and lived in. The falcon had all kinds of scorch marks, the interior looks like my college apartment, it was only the imperials that had everything spotless and polished and that was to visually explain the differences of the empire vs. the rest of the galaxy. An antiseptic, inhumane order.

It's just a photo that got caught at a perfect time. Sure you've seen people throw up, but that exact shot lasts for a fraction of a second in the real world.

That kind of high pressure, still-foamy, projectile vomit makes me suspect either a keg-stand of shotgunning one too many beers.

I lived on the UW campus in Madison, Wisconsin for years. I hold a doctorate in alcohol-related vomit analysis.
>>
>>64665628
Well, I guess I'll have to go with your superior expertise.
Still, this sort of stuff would have to spread it out a lot, and pretty much every time I saw anyone throw up, it was just kind of oozing out, with little to no forward momentum.
Maybe we just don't have the steam engine stomachs, necessary for this kind of pressure.
