Andy 60 Posted July 3, 2003 Here's a summary of the Rob Coleman (Animation Director from ILM) chat regarding Episode III:GL is "very happy" with the existing Yoda model, and the same one will be used as in AotCDefinitely more CG in IIIDigital doubles will be used for main characters, but it's unknown how much as it has yet to be discussedThere will be all the battle droids from II, and more.Character-wise we'll be very happy with what they have in store for us."It's going to be dark, and I'm psyched."Another Yoda action sequenceIII will have more visual effects than the rest of the sagaClone Troopers will be all CG again, but with some "cool" variations."You won't believe how huge some of these fights are. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it.""The mood's great. George is happy, and there's a real buzz around the set."There will be more animated monstersSome Macintosh, some Linux, some O2s are used for the animation work.On the script: "The last three pages gave me goosebumps."New starships and planetsOpening sequence will be challenging. Also, on the Episode III webcam earlier was a box of lightsabers. One looks decidedly Vaderish, and another one looks very much like the one Obi-Wan gives Luke in ANH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted July 18, 2003 Mace Windu's role will be bigger and unforgettable. good. he's my favorite Jedi and i'd be real put out if he doesn't get decent screen time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander 0 Posted July 18, 2003 Summary of John Knoll chat July 17, 2003: ?The Clone Troopers will again be CG, yet different than seen before. ?Ep3 will contain roughly the same amount of visual effects as AOTC. ?John's primary responsibility during principal photography is to look for potential problems that could develop further down the line, and to ensure that they get what they'll need for post production. ?John argues for sets to be built as fully as possible, and to be augmented with effects. He feels it not only makes his job easier, but brings with it a sense of realism. ?Revealed that Wat Tambor is back, and badder. ?Revealed that page 7, word twelve of the script is "trench". ?There's more planets in Ep3 than any previous SW film. ?Said there will probably be easter eggs in the film, but that none are currently planned. ?Said there will be some spectacular battles. ?There are no plans for a CG Chewbacca. ?When asked about the title, said he knew of a title. ?When asked if anyone would have a jetpack, mentioned Artoo in his reply. ?Said we'd be seeing more of Coruscant when asked if we'd be seeing anything new of the planet. ?When asked if we'd be seeing another step from the Republic ships to the Imperial ships, said that it was an evolution that we'd see more of in Ep3. ?Said that previsualization started about six months ago and would continue until a few months before the film was finished. ?Said that droids would again be CG. ?When asked if there were effects he did not know about that might be necessary later, he replied that that was normal for working on SW films. ?The current plan is for Anakin to have the same metallic hand he had at the end of AOTC. ?When asked if we'd see Watto again, replied that we would if we popped in the AOTC DVD. ?Is expecting the same amount of work to be required for Ep3 as was required for the last two. ?When asked if he's had to tell George he couldn't do something, replied that that's not something you say to George. ?No CG bounty hunters in Ep3 that he knows of at the moment. ?The choice of green screen over blue screen is stipulated by things such as fleshtones and clothing. He sited Artoo's blue panels as a reason they use green screen for his scenes. As for the color of the sticks they use for lightsabers, he said that the color has no real importance. ?Mace still has a purple lightsaber. ?When asked what Padme and Threepio would see when they looked out the palace set window, replied that they would see a wonderful matte painting, and that a fan-made piece he'd seen online was actually a fairly good representation. ?When asked to comment on the elevator set and the fact that it looked Imperial, almost like the Death Star, he replied that it was not the Death Star.

Princess 35 Posted July 18, 2003 Uh guys, I hate to put a damper on this but mods are locking accounts at SW.com if they find out that someone is posting hyperspace content. I don't know if they would for chat info but I don't know if I'd risk it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted July 18, 2003 they were asking for the info to get pirated like that, IMO. any time there's something exclusive, someone will make sure it gets out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
