Hot Toys DX Anakin Skywalker (EP3)

That scene in TPM was the beginning of my disappointment...I thought it looked super cheesy when they ran fast...it looked so fake...immediately took me out of the movie.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I think it should be slo-mo like the Six Million Dollar Man.

No other special effect can come close.

that's MOSTLY becuase it was done very poorly. same scene, slow down the droids, have obi-wan and Qui gon run out ant "normal speed" then start it back up. Cut to the bridge, the nemodians are trying to figure out where they went

officer: " what happened?"
Crewman " I do not know.. one second they were there, teh next... nothing, look!"
Show the viewscreen with a replay of security footage, one frame, they're fighting the droids, next frame, they're gone.


I think that would have worked much better.

Stele's battle with Malgus in the Old Republic trailer had some good slo-mo.

Not a fan. Thing with bullet time, too, is it makes the choreography progressively more boring the more often you watch the scene. I hope they don't use it in the sequels.

Their use here is more akin to 300 than Matrix stuff with snapping of time-warp curves...

The biggest problem with the choreography in that video (albeit I did enjoy watching it) is the motion capture used for the characters is a bit stiff, especially in the torso area. Love the use of the force blasts and what not though.

I personally like the idea of it being more like Samurai, facing off, sizing up opponent, feeling out with the force then a quick exchange of sabers, some good use of force blasts, lightning etc. for fights between Jedi and Sith.

I do agree 100% that we need Satele in 1/6th though!

 

[lerath666]

Not my knowlEdge, there was no motion capture used to make that video. Bloom studio dosnt use it........as far as I know.

I had concern with Man of Steel that it would rely heavily on "bullet time", and thankfully it didnt.

I loved the scenes where Faora was just running super speed around. It was done really well. I would prefer things to happen quickly rather than slowly.

I dont think they will change the filmmaking techniques to much with these stories. The movies will be part of a series after all.

Now I could see some of the spinoff movies using it though.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

That scene where Faora goes boom-zoom-boom with the marines was just epic!
