First official embeded YouTube clip ever!
Great clip on YouTube featuring the effects work in David Fincher's
Zodiac:
I really liked
Zodiac and it was interesting to see how CGI was used to enhance the cinematograghy. Now I see where that $80 million went (and at this rate the studio will recoup that in about 10 years).
I mean, yeah yeah, Fincher delivers a visual look that requires extreme control of locations, lighting and blah blah blah, but come on, you're telling me he couldn't come up with serviceable POV shot of a car riding up on semi truck at night? It had to be completely conjured out of thin air? And blood stains on clothes had to be digitally added? You know, when Hitchcock wanted blood he used a 30 cent bottle of Hershey's chocolate syrup.
All that said, still amazing effects work. And on a separate note, that clip could be used in Compositing 101 for how NOT to light a bluescreen. Seams, major luminance variations, every no-no in the book. I don't want any producers who work on my level of the industry to see that, I get bad enough screen footage as it is.
