The characters were shallow and dumb, the story non-existant. I give it won Best director. It takes skill to direct a movie with just 2 characters, all in front of the green screen, but it wasn't a better movie than 12 years. |
Actually there was no green screen. The whole movie was made first in Previs, every camera movement planned beforehand. Then they invented a whole bunch of stuff to get the characters faces lit correctly and pasted into the helmets. Repurposed car manufacturing robot arm for the camera, rotating harness for the actors, light cage to simulate the fast moving light, remote controlled puppeteer wire system for the inside shots.
The behind the scenes footage is quite fascinating to watch. Which is kind of the problem with the movie, the making of is far more interesting than the movie itself, and you can't help but think they wasted all that tech on such a simple plot.
It's very cool to watch it all in movement linked to the previs video
