CG Venom vs. Prosthetics Venom

[Fran]

anyways, lets get back on the Venom subject.

 

[Spiderine]

Venom will be mainly cgi

 

[ryan dube]

spidey was mostly CGI...

 

[Spiderine]

Right on

 

[Fran]

yes...

bill wore a grey mo-cap suit, and had green mo-cap makeup on his eyes and mouth, and had reference points all over his face for the tentacles to be put in later.

It's pretty much a no brainer that a good amount of CG will be used to add some of the effects to Venom. All prosthetics is more of a 90's ideal, it's pretty hard for film makers not to use at least some CG when bringing comic book characters to life. A lot of the action scenes will probably have Venom in CG because it'll probably be difficult to have Topher jumping around in something that will probably just look like a bulky mass of black boogers.

 

[Spiderine]

Cool

no doubt about that man

those sfx pretty much clinched the Oscar for it this year.

 

[Iceman]

Good effects on Davy Jones above.

I think Venom will need a higher level of CGI than most other comic characters we have seen in the past.

 

[Spiderine]

Venom will be spectacular

Despite the awful quality of the Comic Con footage, it gave me chills and I got the feel that Venom is already moving in the right way.

i agree with that. venom will need to up the ante in terms of character CGI.

 

[Iceman]

i agree with that. venom will need to up the ante in terms of character CGI.

Even when the guy is standing still, he's going to be costing $$$ with the symbiote flying about. After being surprised by how good Sandman's effects look, I think Sony are going to pull this one out of the bag.

 

[Spiderine]

I dont think we will be disappointed.

 

[Christopher Nolan]

I blieve that this movie will cost more than 300 Million Dollar. You have two Villians, who will need very much CGI, also Spidey and Harry/Goblin will need CGI.

Ya and it will automatically become the least successful spider-man movie.

You know i can see the media ripping apart SM3 if it does not break the record and do atleast $450 million domestically.

Oh well i guess that is why SONY wants to end this franchise with a bang afterall they cannot afford to spend so much money on JUST one movie.
The actors in spider-man are expensive, the sfx is expensive, sam raimi ask for a a good amount of money.

I say end spider-man franchise with spider-man 3 and then do a different spider-man movie sometime in 2015.

^ mabe not 2015 more like 2010

 

[christpunchers]

The non CGI scenes will probably be with Topher wearing the suit with his head showing and the venom mask off... half venom/eddie, when its on i will bet its gonna be all CGI (tongue eyes mouth fangs).

[superkong 500]

My concern is that,even if this movie costs 300 mil its still alot of cgi, spidey needs a lot of cg as always,harry I think is the least but still needs certain amount of cg.Sandman will be the one who will need the most,and venom even though he will only be in action in the movie like for 10 min or less, the time he's fighting and doing his acrobatic and slimey stuff will need tons of cgi.In spidey 2 doc ock's tentacles were sometimes practical and there were not half as many fights as there seem to be in this movie.Plus almost all of the fights will feature sandman heavily and he'll be cgi all the time he's transforming and doing he's thing, so man I really admire the guys at sony imageworks.

 

[shigsy2003]

It will be a mixture of the two to give of the perfect Venom and I am glad prostetics are being used as I don't like CGI...but that is for another time.

[lordofthenerds]

I think Venom will only be CG during the action scenes. The rest will just be Topher in a suit and prosthetics with a CGI tongue like the Q&A said.
