journal 2 week 10/5-10/11

Okay, so I know that for most of my journals I use movie references, but hey, that's what I'm into. So going with the theme, this one is about X-Men. I could go very into detail, but I'll just focus on two of my favorites.



The first is Nightcrawler. I'm not going to argue any points of difference between the comics and the movie, but in the movie i find him amazing. Only the tail was computer generated. So that means that all the blue skin and all the "angelic markings" were done with makeup. Think of close to 5 hours sitting letting people do your makeup. That is insane. Plus those makeup artists are incredible with detail.

the second, i could not find a place to give me the picture, so if you go to this link you'll get a glimpse.

It's Cerebro. The thing that hooks up to Dr. X's head. The scenes involving it had to have a 20 man crew to work on the digital effects. The lighting, the sounds, the images, everything is perfect. It just goes to show, that even if it takes 20, nothing beats quality
