Q: Do you prefer heavy makeup or CGI dots?

DJ: Well, to this day, I've never done CGI dots for motion capture. I just finished a job where everyone thought that's what I did and that is not exactly the case.


It seems someone has been telling us that for a while.;)

It's amazing that no one managed to get any shots of him throughout the whole shoot.

That really gives us something to look forward to in a couple days.

They're basically doing what they did with Colossus for the last X-Men movie. Using a make-up suit and giving the digital metallic look in post.
 
^^Yup.
These following caps were made by a1ant and La She-Beast from the dvd.

I had a feeling MTV spilled some details they probably shouldn't have.Oh well, the 'damage' is done. Its out there and its got fanboys in a frenzy. Theres no such thing as bad publicity. lol:woot:

The MTV article spilled a lot of beans, but it has raised intrest a lot. And that is not necessarly a bad thing. It was getting kind of boring, but that article lit things up, and right before the teaser trailer ? Hmmmmmmmmm. Me thinks there is a connection there somewhere.
