If what you're saying is true, then Luca$h used models, costumes and sets, just like in the OOT, with the added ingredient of CG effects, that he didn't have when making the OOT, and spent just as long over each film as he did with the OOT.
Yet it all looked absolutely...
fake!!
Again I thought it looked real enough. I didn't see any greenscreen in the movies I saw. They had painted it all out in the final shots. Originally posted by: Go-Mer-Tonic
They used more models in any one of the prequel films than they used in the entire classic trilogy combined, and they will still be the top choice for ILM, so in that regards not a whole lot will change really.
Is that true?! About how many models they used in the prequels? Absolutley. I'm not sure how closely all of you have looked into it, but half the time I see people complaining about CG in these movies, they are talking about digital composites done with practical models. There was only 1 fiery explosion in The Phantom Menace that was rendered by a computer (the shot of the explosion chasing the droids through the hall when the control ship is blowing up) every other explosion and fire effect in that movie (not counting the pod race crashes) was done by either blowing up a real model, or by digitally compositing real photographic elements of fire onto shots of practical model elements.
As far as the model unit being ILM's top pick for practical elements, it says so in the article.Originally posted by: auraloffalwaffle
