BEOWULF: full CGI movie?

[BKgen®]

taken from IMDb:

"According to the writers Gaiman and Avary, the reasons of making the movie entirely CG are:

- the aging of the main character (covering 50 years of his life);

- the creative freedom which the process gives, keeping the cost the same per minute, no matter of the content;

- the movie is designed to be seen in 3D (IMAX or Real D)."

Everything is "motion captured" but it's still going along the basis that The Polar Express took, which was all live action with "CG enhanced imagery". During a Comic-con interview after the movie was unvieled, the director stated that it was not a CGI movie, but a movie with CGI enhancements. If I can find that clip I'll post up.

Notice I say "enhancements" though. That pretty much means that most of it will be live action, but as you said, it gives the freedom of manipulating age and time. So most of the movie will be live action (same as 300) but when they need to they can manipulate the characters the way they need to to fit the story. It's still considered a live action film, same as every other movie using the same technology.

All i'm saying is you can really tell from the trailer that the way they use CG in the movie is a far cry from what most people are used to seeing.

Very true. I doubt we'll see another movie like this one using this technology any time soon. It is a good example of what movies and directors might use later on. I'm still going to see it. The movie looks bad ass.
