Wow, Paramount finally got a CG house that doesn't suck?
« on: January 22, 2008, 10:13:52 AM »
Instead of their laughable videogame-like graphics of recent years, this actually has some dimension and detail to it.

From their new trailer for a movie.



The trailer's up as Quicktime on their site, nice cinematography. Actually looks like a ship being built by welders with sweat and toolboxes and worklights and cables and humanized mess.

They must have fired their sucky CG houses and gotten a decent one. WETA, maybe? No idea.

Maybe.

I have two of the original WETA IBM workstations used in the LOTR trilogy.   

I've been thinking about having custom case skins made up for them, but like the black monolith effect for now. grin

I think I'll have trouble getting used to Syler as Spock.

Heh.

I dont know, man.  I think the temptation might be too great for Paramount not to re-use the old bridge set from the original series.  I was wandering around the Paramount back-lot circa 2005 and saw a big chunk of that very bridge outside the fiberglass craft shop.   laugh

You mean Sylar, as in from the show Heroes?

Instead of the Vulcan Mind Meld, he'll do the Vulcan Mind Removal. cheesy

Okay, I'm dense or blind.  Where's the misspelling of Enterprise?
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
