Pirates of the Carribean

The tentacled visage of Davy Jones, played by Bill Nighy, wasn't just another computer-generated face. Nighy wore a motion-capture suit during filming of on-deck scenes, and the Industrial Light & Magic crew led by John Knoll integrated motion-capture into the production process.

The crewmembers of The Flying Dutchman were created the same way.

Life of Pi

"Neither Ang nor his winning cinematographer, Claudio Miranda felt they needed to thank or even mention the VFX artists at the Oscars who made the sky, the ocean, the ship, the island, the meerkats and … the tiger. Ang thanked the crew, the actors, his agent, his lawyer and the entire country of Taiwan right down to the team that built the wave-pool on the soundstage where Pi was shot. But failed to mention 100s of artists who made not only the main character of the tiger, but replaced that pool, making it look like a real ocean for 80% of his movie."

Oscar-winning director Ang Lee has been attacked by members of the VFX (visual effects) industry for his failure to recognise their contribution to the success of his film Life of Pi.

A synopsis is a brief summary of the major points

Page 18: Hollywood and bollywood movies H2013

• “A film’s main characters [...] should pursue important goals and face forbidding obstacles.

•Conflict should be constant, across the whole film and within each scene.

The Way Hollywood Tells It: Story and Style in Modern Movies

Page 19: Hollywood and bollywood movies H2013

• Actions should be bound into a tight chain of cause and effect.

• Major events should be foreshadowed (‘planted’), but not so obviously that the viewer can predict them.

•TENSION should rise in the course of the film UNTIL A CLIMAX RESOLVES ALL THE ISSUES.”
