Jonwo Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It would be pointless filming a live action background because you would need to use CG later on anyway so it easier to just create a CG enviroment which can controlled and adapted it to suit the needs of the film makers.

Nothing pointless about it. It is just a different way to make a CGI movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Well, I find it a heck of a lot more admirable to create your own realistic looking environment from scratch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Nothing pointless about it. It is just a different way to make a CGI movie. It depends on the film, Dinosaur was meant to be more 'realistic' hence why it shot like Walking with Dinosaurs and Jurassic Park with the characters interacting with live action backgrounds. Hybrids like The Smurfs and Alvin is essentially a live action film with CG characters and you can get the reverse with films like Alice in Wonderland and 300 where everything aside from the actors was CG.

Mojoguy Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 An animated movie that I think could have live action backgrounds no problem was Tangled. One that needed the CGI backgrounds was Wreck It Ralph. The cartoony look wouldn't have worked without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shayhiri Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Shay's gonna hate this no matter what Totally not true. Croods was one of my most loved animations ever (because of its subject). Why do you assume this Pixar version here will be so much worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The47th Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Am I the only one annoyed that the story puts humans co-existing with dinosaurs? I know it's just a creative license, but it only makes me think constantly of stuff like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonytr87 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 The trailer makes it pretty clear the only reason humans and dinos are side by side is the lack of a certain giant meteor hitting the planet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Well, I don't think they were trying to be coy about that plot point. Let's hope the giant meteor hitting the planet happens at the end like the Dinosaurs tv show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcf26 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 What I feel is that Inside Out will win Best Animated Feature come the Oscars while the short attached to The Good Dinosaur will win Best Animated Short. Win Win for Pixar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
