What's new here?
Re: Lucasfilm shows off the future of filmmaking(?)
It's a really fancy game engine, off loading nearly all of the post work into pre production. PROGRESS!
Re: Lucasfilm shows off the future of filmmaking(?)
Not really that new. Video-games have been doing this kind of live motion capture for a couple years now.
It happens to be a top-tier looking game-engine in this case, but it's still video-game cutscene level visuals. You're not gonna pass it off as photo-real, so all the headlines are misguided. It DOES mean the pre-viz process is going to be getting closer-and-closer to photo-real. I would love to see what Cameron's monitor looks like on Avatar 2.

Is this an Onion parody? The effort required to fake it is greater than the effort require to film it for real.
