Dark Of The Moon's Visual Effects By The Numbers

The Hollywood Reporter has published an interesting article about the visual effects of Dark Of The Moon and 5 things you should know. This is for those of you interested in the numbers and effort that goes into your favorite shots. They talk about the driller and how it was seven times more complicated than Optimus Prime and how the driller tearing up a Chicago skyscraper was one of the most complex visual effect ILM has overseen. ILM's Scott Farrar explains the five things you should know and throws a little secret sauce in the mix.

1. The Driller consists of 70,051 parts. By contrast, Optimus Prime, the head Autobot, has just 10,108 parts. Due to the complexity of the Driller, and the fact that he lays waste to a skyscraper, only a few artists working with ILM's most powerful desktop machines were able to load the shots where the machine takes on the building. And they sometimes waited nearly an hour for the files to load.


2. Massive computing power was needed so that the Driller could destroy the skyscraper: Rendering is the process of calculating the information in a CG file for final video output -- essentially by turning numbers into images. It took a staggering 288 hours per frame to render the Driller along with the photoreal CG building that includes all those reflections in its glass.


3. Stereo 3D added to the complexity. At the time of the live-action shoot, choices were made about the interocular distance, which is the distance between the centers of the lenses of the two cameras. “We take the same information,” Farrar said. “We copy that exactly.” ILM rendered a left eye, then a right eye image. The VFX team viewed the shot in 3D, then refined and repeated as needed.


4. For a last push on the final weekend of work, ILM’s entire render farm was used for Transformers 3. ILM calculates that that added up to more than 200,000 rendering hours per day -- or the equivalent of 22.8 years of render time in a 24-hour period.


5. A final injection of “Secret Sauce” was used to improve the theatrical experience. Because some 3D movies look dark or soft when projected, Farrar said, “We did make sure things are as bright as possible; Michael (Bay) called up theater owners to make sure they keep the lamps bright in the theaters.” Plus, he added, “We also added a kind of secret sauce to make everything a little sharper, because we know that through the steps, no matter what, when you get to the final screening things tend to go less sharp.”

CNN's article about Shout Factory's Headmasters set; several Seibertron.com staff members interviewed

Two weeks ago, our friends over at CNN needed a little bit of info on the upcoming Shout! Factory release of Transformers Headmasters on DVD (which was released this past Tuesday). The leader in online news knew just who to call ...

Henry Hanks at CNN gave your good buddies and well-dressed Seibertron.com Twincasters a call to get the scoop on how this series was received, its legacy, and on how our fellow fans viewed this piece of Transformers history.

Seibertron, Tigertracks24, Counterpunch, and Razorclaw0000 stepped up to the mic and gave Mr. Hanks our representative opinions on this exciting new bit of Transformers Merchandise.

Here are a few snippets from your too-handsome-for-TV Twincasters:

CNN via Seibertron wrote:Despite those delays and some early hesitation from the subtitle-phobic, Yzquierdo said that most fans are just excited to check the shows out: "This is something that I never thought I would see released in the States."


CNN via Tigertracks24 wrote:"Some major characters die early on," said Matt Brown of Canton, Michigan, a podcaster at Seibertron.com. "Later in the series, another major character bites the dust. They don't mess around."


CNN via Counterpunch wrote:"This is the first time we've gotten a legitimate release of this Japanese series. You would have to get recordings of them burned onto DVDs, or import them from Australia or Europe, or find a laser-disc player from the 1980s to watch this."


CNN via Razorclaw0000 wrote:"There was a small bit of disappointment that the project couldn't secure enough funding to do a brand-new English dub," said Seibertron.com podcaster Bob King of Ashley, Pennsylvania. "I kind of share that feeling, but I also know that this isn't going to be a very mainstream release, and for them to spend that much money would be kind of a gamble. I appreciate that they're staying cautious."
