LOL ...you mean those little specs? They gonna transfer those over to a new image house?
If you look closely at the footage you will notice that a lot of those were detailed and moving.
Once again, that is CGI replication of the same models to make it look like there are more Lanterns than there actually is. They didn't render out thousands of models. That would take years. They copy/paste a much smaller number. All those Lanterns do the same movement on another part of the screen.

BB doesn't matter. Green Lantern is the topic of discourse. Whatever faults of BB doesn't affect GL.You said you didn't like them. Why are you taking the apologist stance?
Shhhh .... don't break up his party.
Either way, we got the sense of scale. There were definitely more than 30 Green Lanterns.
Oh, and Dnno, you still think Green Lantern is gonna get nominated for (hahahaha!) best Cinematography?
Avatar did not win for it's CGI landscape. It won for seamlessly integrating virtual lighting with live action and innovations regarding 3D cameras and rigs.Well Avatar did win the Oscar in that category, so he's not completely off base. However, CGI landscapes should not qualify for cinematography at all.
1.They might not have been intended to speak in the first film, but that does not mean that they are not supposed to speak in subsequent films. 2. They could go with a different VFx house, but that doesn't mean that you wipe the slate clean. The CG models could carry over to the next group. 3. I don't think they need to sell the suits on the they'll do it cheaper bit, since they more than likely already know that it is. It's common business sense that reusing previous work is a non-recurring cost and that taking advantage of that only serves to lower your overall cost for a second film.
10. WB execs meddled in the final editing process
Do you think they learned their lesson after this failure ? Or will Man Of Steel suffer the same fate ?
I think the main reason Nolan is there so that they won't touch Snyder's movie.
No one better touch Zack Snyder's movie. I want to see it in all of its slo-mo ass kicking glory.![]()
1. Dude....if they have 100's...or even just 10's....of CG models to make for individuals that don't have featured parts in the movie, they're not going to set each individual up the same way they did for the ones that do....because there just wouldn't be enough time and money. They're set up to be replicated with minor changes, and just moveable enough to look lifelike when you group them all together. It's like the equivalent of auditioning and rehearsing 100's of extras for a stadium scene...one at a time. You don't do that, you bring them all in and have very basic things that they have to do en masse. Or....you only shoot 50 of them...then tell them to switch seats and shoot again, and again, and later use those multiple versions to fill up the frame. Characters like Tomar Re and Kilowog...100's-1000's of hours each to get then to do what they did onscreen for the first movie. Think about it....think how much they had to spend on VFX, then spend more on...and how much they didn't get done just for the shots needed and left out.
2. It's not about wiping the slate clean for the sake of starting anew....again, if you had a movie that was started in, say, Dreamworks animation...then wanted Pixar to do the next one...it wouldn't be a case of sending over drives full of earlier characters and just opening them up to star re-animating. Each place has built their own facility and workflow around their own systems and software. There's different encoding languages., software, etc., and by the time any character is designed enough to start placing in the movie, they've already gone through many of those steps/systems that are unique to the effects house producing them.
3. Filmmaking is not a 'common business', though. And these aren't standardized car parts or what have you. It's not anywhere as simple as you're attempting to make it out to be. So I'd advise that you listen to people who actually do know about this stuff when they inform you about how it actually does work. Even if the same VFX house were on the job, and they had archived all their designs and models...it's not like they keep them 'at the ready' for the next 2-3 years. They need to clear their main storage/SANs etc. for whatever other show they do, then reschedule and restaff for that one, unarchive the digital material, integrate it into their system/workflow again, then go back and remodel whatever new characters are going to be anything other than background/crowd...for featured movement/speaking/action/etc.. It's not a simple click and go. That all still takes time and money...so again, you can't really point to that as 'major savings' and any sort of incentive for a sequel. For that matter, you could just as easily say that they'll save on scoring if the composer re-uses some of the themes he wrote for the first one. So what? Doesn't mean he'll be paid less ro spend less time scoring the second film.
Think, McFly....think.
You do, but I am just debunking this idea they made 1000s of models for the movie. They didn't. That 30 Lantern count sounds about right. But, those 30 are enough to create the illusion that there are more, which is all a film is doing. Making the illusion what you're seeing is real. The shot looks good, but people thinking they made individual models for all those lanterns are just wrong.

I think slow mo could work in the Superman movie, to show how fast he is compared to all the regular goons that he was fighting. Snyder can definitely go over-the-top crazy with all the action scenes in there.
Definitely. We're finally going to get a proper action scene with Superman. FINALLY.
Honestly, I appreciate S1 and SII's efforts and I know they were great effects for the time, but they really haven't aged well. It's funny to look at now.
Looks fine to me
The voice thing was most off thing about that clip.
I've never laughed at a bad effect (Amazing Bulk aside). I know what they intended and they did the best they could.
It clearly looked like they jumped out, not flew out.
