Omega......You know what happens with movies with good previews nowadays. Stop getting my hopes up.

HansSky · 05-11-2005, 02:11 PM

Ooh. Looks good.

Yeah...I've heard about this movie. It is based on one of Philip K. Dick's novels: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Scanner_Darkly.

I especially dig the production of the movie...using retorscoping...hardcore.

Depends on your definition of a good preview.

And yes, jewpin. Rotoscoping never looked so damn cool.

I am going to have to agree...since it hasnt really been used since back in the day when Disney hand animated all it's movies.

Philip K. Dick is an awesome writer. Perhaps this will be the next "Blade Runner."

very cool. Someone want to quickly explain how they achieve that art style? Or what 'rotoscoping' is? do they record the actors and then just draw over them? B/c that's really what it looks like.

bump

Read this a few weeks ago and it prompted me to read the book, so...
I got the book, which is really really good and now i can't wait for this movie to come out.

Yeah, that's the basics. A Scanner Darkly was recorded with Digital cameras and then artists went over each frame tracing and coloring in the scene. Rather time consuming. Other movies that have used this technic are Waking Life, Star Wars (lightsabers and blasters), the classic Disney films, and the cartoon version of Lord of the Rings.

I didn't like the preview that much. It just seemed a bit silly and melodramatic for me.

I'm a fan of Philip K. Dick, so meh, I dig it. Perhaps I was too distracted by the retroscoping that I didnt really pay attention to..everything else.
