Looking good!  A couple of physically impossible moments (check out that stall!) and it looks like Lucas' affinity for establishing/wide CG shots shines through....  but I'm looking forward to it.   »

Friday, October 28, 2011

First I've heard of this project, but it sounds like a cross between those Beowulf/Final Fantasy CG type of movies, with a healthy dose of Avatar and a whole lot of "yeeeeah, I dunno guys" sprinkled on top....  An interesting premise, but if it doesn't translate well back into 2-D (as in home video),... »

In a letter to SWR... »
