But there were 399 more
shots waiting to go!
When you're in visual effects you pretty much
inherit everything that no one else wants
to do on the show.
There are hopefully a number of shots that
you never know where visual effects.
Out the window in Alia's bedroom or office.
Every time you see out of that window that's
a visual effect.
That the temple behind her.
Every time you go to the desert in Children
of Dune
it was a very small a cat box worth of sand
that they built one small dune everything
beyond that point is computer generated
So we had hundreds and
hundreds of landscapes
dunes and mountains
and sky and sun
The opening main part of the movie is about
two and a half minutes long entirely CGI
Then they can move another
object around in the scene
in the computer and the worm
will follow that object
The interior heighliner is basically
two tiny walls and a floorspace
and everything else is computer-generated.
Every little piece of Tiger I can animate.
So we inherited Edric,
we build him full CG.
Susan Sarandon was talking
to absolutely no one.
All of the morph targets
for the facial expressions.
Pixie dust like Tinker Bell
dust flying around.
We can raise his eyebrows up and down, he
can close his eyes, he can open his mouth.
Worms.
Snarl, like one check up and down.
'thopters.
Moving his ears left to right.
Make it spin.
The teeth waggle.
His pupil can dilate.
And it looked real.
Filmmaking is always...
you're reinventing the wheel
every time you make a movie.
You're always learning all the
same mistakes over again.
