    Okay.

    The animation team is Flat Black Flims. They're about thirty-people big and are using rotoscope-ish technology to pull off this awesome crap. I wanted to get a specific list of people, but all I could find were two guys named Greg Geisler (made <a href='http://www.raytracer.com/interface.html' target='_blank'>this</a>, I think) and Mike Cervantes (whom I couldn't find anything on).

    More crap as this awesomeness unfolds. Unitl then, that's the best the internet could offer.

    Damn, that's awesome. He kinda looked like he was from Tron when he had that white helmet thing on.

    I dont think I could watch that. I'm perfectly fine with normal camera stuff. I can't even watch movies with the camera moving all the time, zooming in and out for no reason...ugh

    Well that was just the trailer, I don't think they'd be doing that continuously throughout the whole movie.

    Er, I've now watched the trailer several times. At which point does the camera constantly move, or zoom in and out for pointless reasons?

    He's talking about the fluid person image transfers.

    It's part of the album Abbey Road Medley. Specifically, the song is "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window." Lyrics:

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->She came in through the bathroom window
    Protected by a silver spoon
    But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
    By the banks of her own lagoon

    Didn't anybody tell her?
    Didn't anybody see?
    Sunday's on the phone to Monday
    Tuesday's on the phone to me

    She said she'd always been a dancer
    She worked at 15 clubs a day
    And though she thought I knew the answer
    Well I knew what I could not say

    And so I quit the police department
    And got myself a steady job
    And though she tried her best to help me
    She could steal but she could not rob

    Didn't anybody tell her?
    Didn't anybody see?
    Sunday's on the phone to Monday
    Tuesday's on the phone to me
    Oh yeah <!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    Furthermore, what was with the way they overdramatized one half of the brain compensating for another? It isn't some competition where they fight over who controls you. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I hope they did their research.

    Yeah I didn't like that either. It's like "No Keanu, they're not competing. One's picking up the slack for the other".

    On the topic of the style anyone see Wakinglife?

    The animation is just the same technique Linklater (director) used in Waking Life.

    Yes!

    Or more accurately: No.

    I've seen Waking Life. It's good.

    I'm definately looking forward to this, especially since it's Philip K ****.
  • OmegamanOmegaman Join Date: 2004-01-11 Member: 25239Members
    Huh. I thought Waking Life was pure cartoon animation.
  • X_StickmanX_Stickman Not good enough for a custom title. Join Date: 2003-04-15 Member: 15533Members, Constellation
    Visuals were cool but both the words and their delivery just confused me. I'll still go to see it though.
  • docchimpydocchimpy Join Date: 2003-07-19 Member: 18266Members
    The title seems familiar.
  • BloodySlothBloodySloth Join Date: 2003-08-27 Member: 20284Members
    the effect is really awesome, but to be honest apart from the style the trailer is really lame.

    Whoa. The animation is so good in that that even an animated Winona Ryder is hot hot hot.
