In Reply to: "...Chuck Heston's remarkable performance..." - No offense, but isn't that an oxymoron? posted by Audiophilander on June 24, 2003 at 07:43:46:
Yes, Spielberg did use CGI on distant shots, because CGI looks really hideous in a close-up. Plus, I found animatronic hokiness is a direct function of the puppeteer more than technical limitations. At least manipulation is far more convincing than hi-tech gooing of actual creates like "Cats & Dogs", or pur CGI like the dead soldiers in "Mummy".♪ moderate Mart £ ♫ ☺ Planar Asylum
Follow Ups:
That's also where animatronics tend to look more fake, even when in the hands of competant animatronic operators, but you're right about the degree of hokiness being directly proportional to the skill of the puppeteer.As far as Jaws is concerned, the few mid-range shots of the shark lurching up on the boat, etc., look pretty fake to me. The best stuff is always the brief glimpses of a fin, a shadow, surface agitation or those moving-in-for-the-kill shots taken from the shark's perspective.
