Your Friend Who Works in Special Effects Probably Needs a Hug Right Now

the article is from here.

and Green Lantern - Official Wondercon Footage [HD]

We can't remember who said it -- maybe Bruce Campbell? -- but a Hollywood actor defined the difference between studio movies and independent films like this: If you know what your movie's release date is before you even start shooting it, you're in a studio movie. That's become even truer over the years: Nowadays, a movie will have a release date before it even has a script. As you can imagine, that makes life incredibly stressful for all those involved with an upcoming tentpole, and today Variety gave us a little glimpse into one such group of individuals: the people at special effects houses.

The Variety article is behind their paywall, but The Playlist gets the gist of it, which is that Warner Bros. was forced to shell out an additional $9 million to pay for extra FX companies to help complete the effects for "Green Lantern," which comes out June 17. But the people Variety talked to at Warner Bros. insist it's not to fix any effects -- just to get them all done in time:

"There is no problem on 'Green Lantern,'" Chris de Faria, Warner's exec VP of digital production, animation and visual effects told the trade. "We try to add things to make the movie better until the 11th hour. That doesn't mean we're risking the movie up to the 11th hour."

This is something studios always want to emphasize when news gets out that a tentpole is rushing to make it to the finish line: "Everything is fine, nothing is wrong, we all know what we're doing, the shareholders have no reason to panic, would you like more cupcakes?" Besides, Warner Bros. are hardly the only ones rushing to hit a deadline: Variety says that one effects house working on Paramount's "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" "has gone to seven-day weeks, 12 hours a day, and canceled the Easter Sunday holiday for its [special-effects] artists."

The Variety article blames all this on the way studios now set up their big movies, valuing the release date over considerations for whether or not it's all that feasible. "So you are always chasing your tail," said Marvel exec VP of visual effects Victoria Alonso, who has "Captain America" to worry about. "You work backwards from that release date, then you add production not being ready to shoot or location complications and you shave the weeks you push from post."

We have friends who work in post-production, and we know that when they get assigned to a big movie that we won't see them for a few months before its release: Their lives are absolutely hellish as they kill themselves getting the movie done. Of late, no tentpole has missed its release, as long as you don't count the last-minute decision not to put out "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1" in 3D as was initially planned. It shouldn't be surprising, then, that big-budget summer movies often aren't very good: The studios are probably just thrilled they got the damn thing out in time.

李安台灣造黑洞 《少年Pi》吸光人才

李安台灣造黑洞 《少年Pi》吸光人才
導演李安的新片《少年Pi的奇幻漂流》在台中拍攝，工作人員超過300人，造成其他電影人才荒，據悉，目前台灣約６成以上的電影專業人員都被《少年Pi》延攬，正在拍《戀愛恐慌症》的總監林秉聿說，招募工作人員很困難，《少年Pi》像大黑洞將人才都吸光光，「台灣好的電影人才原本就欠缺，這時候找人更困難。」

大片開拍造成其他電影發生「人才荒」已非首次，《雞排英雄》將拍攝檔期訂在《賽德克巴萊》殺青後，《痞子英雄首部曲：全面開戰》也在《賽德克》拍完後接手工作人員。

據悉，李安和美商福斯對工作人員審查嚴格，從攝影師、美術、場務到助理都要提出曾參與哪些電影，去蕪存菁找出最頂尖的。其中，美術人員多達40人，其他小片連４個都湊不齊。

電影拍攝場景也壓縮，《少年Pi》以台中水湳機場做基地，其他電影要拍攝機場，只能苦等檔期或改其他打算。林秉聿說：「合拍劇帶動國片復甦是好現象，但台灣對於電影專業人才的培養訓練，政府協助電影場地的租借，都要再加把勁。」
