You want to explain the math of this to me? I

7. 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.

8. 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.

"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."

18. The Way Hollywood Tells It:
Story and Style in Modern Movies
•“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.

19. • 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.”
