The Stingray Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Tree of Life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hush now, your wrong.Oh, don't be insufferableTree of Life?Those visuals are truly groundbreaking, they had Douglas Trumbull doing effects. They aren't traditional CGI or MoCap effects, but the high speed photography, and actually physically manipulating things and shooting it is simply nothing short of groundbreaking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I don't know all the technicalities, the way you seem to do, but there was nothing really remarkable about the visual effects in Tree of Life IMO. Any high profile science/nature BBC show has similar visuals. And Jurassic Park from '93 had prettier dinosaurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technique and work put into it is miles and miles better than anything else last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I somehow doubt that. Do some reading into it. The experimentation they did was astonishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Do some reading into it. The experimentation they did was astonishing. Well, I don't doubt that. Its just that I think they put in a lot of time and effort in creating the spectacular carnage in TF3 as well. But oh well, I might be wrong. Like I said before, you seem more knowledgeable about this stuff than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I wouldn't have expected it to win, but a damn nomination was in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The effects in Transformers looked more realistic than that if Tree of life. TOL was good, but you could tell it wasn't real, TF3 looked a lot more impressive IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
