| Jan 26, 2012 at 22:51 | comment | added | iandotkelly♦ | An interesting point - but IMHO I think perhaps the opposite is true, big budget movies are often the pioneers of new techniques - they have budget to try an idea, and a backup plan if it does not work as well as they hope. Richard Edlund (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Edlund) dramatically improved bluescreen techniques whilst working on Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica and The Empire Strikes back. | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 22:43 | comment | added | DVK | @iandotkelly - due to such a widespread use in Matrix. You don't usually plaster new and untested technique all over a major product, at least not in software engineering | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 21:45 | comment | added | iandotkelly♦ | I have read around, and the use of still camera's to capture a sequence of stills around a subject was apparently pioneered in that Accept music video, but the first movie to put it through CGI and make it a seamless movement does appear to be the Matrix. Why are you "fairly sure" that it wasn't the first? | |
