I decided to choose this article from the CineFex magazine, they give a detailed description of behind the scenes information to how some scenes in films are made. The TV equivalent to this would be 'The Making of.....' which was a show that MTV used to feature.
The director, Bryan Singer wanted to use the same effects used to create 'Avatar' but instead of more CGI, he wanted it to be more live-action with CGI integrated into the scenes. This meant they used motion-capturing with actors to create the mythical creature giants. This did not restrict the director to where he could place the cameras, it allowed him to be free while filming.
Bryan Singer tried to find ways to reduce the cost when thinking of the scenes that required huge sets or characters that had to computer generated, so I learnt that bringing the best out of the movie at a low cost without reducing the quality of the film is a factor to remember.
As you can see from the images above, green screen with a mixture of 3D sets were used to complete the scenes. This has also taught me that there are many roles that are needed for many different aspects of film, VFX and animation which means that I should take my time to explore these different roles to see where I want to improve my skills.
I learned more information but that was just a summary. I find it very interesting and I am inspired by all the hard work the crew working on this movie is doing especially before it enters the editing studios.
