Transformers Transformer TV-Spot

[CFlash]

let me guess bay or someone from ILM said this right?
come on this is to long. this movie coems out this year not in 2 years.

Well, to be fair, just because it takes 38 hours to render one frame doesn't mean they're not using multiple machines (each taking a concurrent 38 hours) to render multiple frames.

Exactly.

Everyone was going gaga over Starscream transforming and jumping on the bridge. It did look cool... even if at the end of the transformation he still looked like a Gobot Renegade instead of Starscream.

Also, Peter Cullen said they've tried to make Optimus speak in more colloquialisms. He's not so stuffy and boring anymore. More like awkward-funny.... like the Terminator or something.

That's about it, I think.

lol, cheers dude. Let me guess, your not all that impressed? t:

 

[dark_b]

well fact is that they are talking about this to promote the movie to have like the best effects. singer said that the CGI brandon has pores. who the f... cares if hte movement is fake like a doll?

but until now ILM hasnt make bad effects.


p.s. i made a mistake. when i wrotte the post i really thought like they have one computer. what an idiot ehhhe. back to reality dark_b

Some quick ILM factoids:

HULK (2003) arguably one of their best efforts:
- 6 months to render 36000 frames.
- Avg. frame render time: 4 to 13 hours (depending on the complexity of the shot)
- Hulk model had 100 layers of skin, 1165 muscle shapes
- It took 200 ILM employees and 2.5 million computer hours 1.5 years to produce

Star Wars Ep 3 (2005)
- 170,000 frames
- 750-1500 computers
- 49 seconds of the Mustafar duel took 26 shots, 1185 frames, 910 artists a total of 70,441 hours to render.

Poseidon (2006)
- Opening sequence was 4000 frames (3 minutes of movie time)
- 1 hour for pre-pass, 4-5 hours per frame (7-8 for night shots)
- 5 to 6 days of non stop rendering
- 300 computers used

Hulk in 2003 took up to 13 hours to render some complex shots. Double the CGI models and complexity and I can easy see it being 24 or so hours.. add in pre-pass time and yeah, it sounds about right.

Yes, the 38 hour quote came from Bay in the Empire interview, but no one seems to be contesting it. I wouldn't doubt it given the complexity of the project. He's probably counting pre-pass and design work in that 38 hours.

holly **** i didnt have an idea how this works. this is really long. woooow.

 

[ForceFirestartr]

so uh.. anyone see the commercial last night during american idol?

 

[Cth]

Yup, same one aired during 24.

 

[Shinobi Rendar]

I saw destiny last night during adult swim...for some reason the spot seemed a bit slower than the one posted on the net... maybe i'm just crazy

 

[xwolverine2]

that render time is insane....

lol

 

[DOG LIPS]

I've seen the spot about 15 times in the last 3 days. So much for lack of promotion.

 

[ForceFirestartr]

lol.. i guess i just dont watch enough tv.. that was the first time for me.

 

[DOG LIPS]

I'm a TV ****e.

 

[Dr Lee]

Anyone know when/if they'll start showing anything over here?

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

You've got to check out SectorSeven.org again. Type in FWIFFO and click the red box in the upper left hand corner. Then click on the three boxes that appear (one at a time, of course). There's video of Grimlock smashing a construction site, a killer video camera and an Insecticon.​

 

[DOG LIPS]

The Grimlock one was cool, the Insecticon was funny, and the camera sucked.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

The Grimlock one was cool, the Insecticon was funny, and the camera sucked.

It'd be funny if in real life someone had a camera up to their eye about to take a photo when the camera Transforms and grabs on to the persons face.

 

[DOG LIPS]

Those vids make me hope they never do the Insecticons. Grimlock is allowed to be a giant metal T-Rex stomping through a construction site, but Kickback has to be an actual bug-size.

 

[DOG LIPS]

That Insecticon is one hostile little s**t.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

I don't know how the insecticons can do damage to anyone being that size.

 

[Cinemaman]

Didn't Bay just say that they had beefed the TF dialogue up but the story and visual/action beats were the same as the leaked script ?

Leaked script? Where did you find it?

 

[Hunter Rider]

[ABVH]

lol, I agree...38 hours for one frame is ridiculous. That be 792 days for just 500 frames, and Im pretty sure there will be more than 500 frames of CGI in this movie

yes that would be impossible if they had only one s-comp doing all the rendering
but I think it's more likely that they have at least one for every CGI shoot doing rendering at a same time!!!!
