Behind the scenes of The Hobbit - thatguy - 04-14-2011 Hosted by Peter Jackson. First installment: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150223186041807">http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php ... 3186041807</a><!-- m --> --tg Damn you Peter Jackson - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 04-14-2011 Even his behind the scenes docs are really good. I saw a screener last night - Drunk Monk - 12-11-2012 48 fps rocks. It takes HD3D to new depths. Be sure to see it at 48 fps, as only 450 theaters will be playing it at that rate. It's a little longwinded at 169 minutes, especially because Jackson adds several things that weren't in the book, and yet very satisfying at points. Lots of sword fights. No Bollywood numbers but some fine dwarvish singing. I'll have an official review up on Friday. review, bone to pick - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 12-14-2012 I just read in your review that rotoscope animation was a cutting edge technique in 1978. George Melies was rotoscoping back when he was making Trip to the Moon. It seems to have been around for some time. you mean nit to pick, not bone - Drunk Monk - 12-14-2012 <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1076">http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/art ... ticle=1076</a><!-- m --> Well, I did say "his cutting-edge version of the animation method rotoscope" referring to Bakshi's as opposed to Melies or anyone else. The rotoscope issue was a big deal for Bakshi at the time and remains a point of contention. I remember when it came out, Bakshi was pushing the rotoscope angle heavily. He had made some advances in the method, or so he claimed, but he backtracked later saying it was all a short cut because of budget cuts. He's still very bitter about that film and apparently refuses to see Jackson's version. Re: rotoscoping - cranefly - 12-14-2012 And let's not forget the precedent set by Galileo, who, back in 1610, discovered the moons of Jupiter using a rotoscope. Re: Behind the scenes of The Hobbit - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 12-15-2012 I was tricked into not seeing it in HFR. The website listing said it was in HFR but wasn't when we showed up. Didn't want to wait two hours until the HFR so saw it without. Still liked it. I want the Goblin King to have his own movie. The film really took off for me when we met up with the Rock Giants. Might see it again only this time in HFR. Glad I couldn't hear the kids babbling behind tQ through the whole movie. go back for the HFR - Drunk Monk - 12-17-2012 It's worth it just for the Gollum close ups. I'm serious. Saruman or Dooku? - Drunk Monk - 12-20-2012 [youtube]gVzOve8T39w#[/youtube] Re: Saruman or Dooku? - The Queen - 12-22-2012 Hammer Films Dracula. Re: Behind the scenes of The Hobbit - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 12-23-2012 Scaramanga. just rewatched the Star Wars saga... - Drunk Monk - 12-28-2012 ...and am now rewatching LotR. I'm told that Lee rereads LotR every year and really wanted the part of Saruman. Re: Behind the scenes of The Hobbit - cranefly - 12-29-2012 Quote: I'm told that Lee rereads LotR every year and really wanted the part of Saruman Oh bloody hell, rub it in. Okay, I'm going to seriously consider reading Lord of the Rings in 2013, so no more people are appalled when they hear I haven't read it. |
