Ozymandias Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'm calling a Life of Pi win after that trailer. I'm calling a Life of Pi win after that trailer. I don't get it.. it looks kinda cartoony. I'd still be utterly shocked if Prometheus or The Hobbit don't win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I don't get it.. it looks kinda cartoony. I'd still be utterly shocked if Prometheus or The Hobbit don't win it.I agree. The CG doesn't impress me. It looks like CG from 10 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) The academy mixed up production design and Special effects for Hugo.The movie had nothing groundbreaking SFX wise, NOTHING.THe only super complex shot is the opening one, done by ILM and they already done these kinds of things ...ROTPOTA was robbed as the first Transformers movie who rewrote the book on CGI characters lighting and integration in a live environement.

Check out the behind the scenes feature on the blu ray if you get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommycruise Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Wait why would TDKR be nominated? I thought Nolan like to keep everything practical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Wait why would TDKR be nominated? I thought Nolan like to keep everything practical? That is why. TDK and Inception where both nominated. Nolan made the batwing. A Nolan blockbuster visual effects are ddifferent then other blockbusters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnetMan Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 My early vote is Cloud Atlas. Life of Pi has too much of a What Dreams May Come flavor to its FX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yads Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I wouldn't mind if Prometheus won, but my money would be on The Hobbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Nolan thinks is so hip with his practical effects thing but it depends on what you have to film.Look, the guy hates fantasy so his practical effects can lick my sack the day he tries to make an Avengers movie,Transformers King KOng, Hobbit or Avatar.Those movies would look incredible with the guys who did the Nolan's batmobile I am telling you !Yeah, right .

Jessie Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) The Acadamy get it wrong most years when it comes to special effects so may the worst prediction win... Edited September 11, 2012 by Jessie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 As I said earlier, the Academy sometimes rewards the production design of the special effects ( see Hugo) or the visual idea behind a special effect ( see Inception) more than the actual SFX.The Playstation 1 white bear from Golden COmpass beating the first Transformers ( a major landmark in CGI) was a travesty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Inceptions win was totally justified. Had some great practical effects in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
