Did Batman break his no killing rule when he burned down the monastery in Batman Begins? Given that a number of people there were training to be ninjas (basically), I rate their ability to get out of there alive pretty high. It's not like he was stopping them after all - not while carrying Liam Neeson's character. |

Were any non-CGI movies shot in their entirety though a colored lens/filter? @DVK - Simply adjusting color levels (especially if uniform throughout the frame) is trivial, and could be done as part of the editing process. Heck, editors may do some minor tweaking regardless, just to make sure that colors match between shots. |

What technology did each Pixar movie introduce? ... Although it should be noted that all the human characters in the other films you mentioned were Motion Captured (including Gollum), while Pixar proudly displays a notice that everything is animated by hand. I don't know about fluids, but the LotR films basically wrote a AI crowd simulator for all the big battle scenes. |

In The Hunt For Red October, how was the nuclear reactor failure simulated? Actually, they explicitly call out in the book that the badges were deliberately exposed to radiation (I think by the chief engineer). Using the doctor's own x-ray machine, no less. A number of radiation detectors/Geiger counters had also been messed with. The officers following Ramius were deliberately making the leak look much larger than it really was. |

Is Hulk a pure CGI being? It should be noted that, in the case of Wall-e, both Wall-e and EVE used (post-processed) phlanged voices from real people. Otto (the auto-pilot), however, was 'voiced' by the standard Mac text-to-speech synthesizer. All Pixar animation has been done by hand, meaning no motion capture. |

What is the science behind making actors appear different? In the case of LoTR, I happen to know that particular shot was filmed by a motion-control camera in multiple passes (the breakdown is in some of the special features). The movies also made extensive use of body doubles (short people, tall people) and in-camera tricks (ie the hobbits farther from the camera than a taller person supposedly in the same plane), as well as some digital work. |

Unrelated Cast Songs for the Credits A fair number of Animes have opening/ending themes sung by one or more of the VAs in the cast (that may be thematically connected, but otherwise not related). What about those? |
