Nice photography in the movie last night, sorta
We went to the cinema last night, and there were several times during the movie I noticed the photography. Nice colors, lighting, composition, good use of depth of field, and so forth. It was very visually appealing. But, the movie was Up. It was completely computer generated, which makes calling it photography somewhat problematic. However, judging it by exactly the same standards as one would judge photography, it was still very pleasing. I'm honestly not sure whether the closing credits were filmed, computer generated, or a mixture. The dof of the credits were weird, with the edges and the top of the screen sharp, and the middle and lower middle less so, I couldn't tell if that was camera work, computer generated to get you to read the top of the screen, or just due to things being misaligned in the theater. As to the movie itself, Pixar did it again. It's a good story, a fun movie, and the computer animation raised the bar on the state of the art. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.

Both my wife and I lost it with the dog's reaction to the squirrel. Our Belgian goes completely bug-eyed stupid when she sees a squirrel.

The first animated movie that I noticed (and was blown away by) the photography was Finding Nemo. The way they made it look like really filming underwater was amazing. Total attention to detail including backscatter. From what I read, Pixar required everyone to get certified in SCUBA. Also their first test underwater animations had to be redone because it looked to real. -- Christian http://404mohawknotfound.blogspot.com/ Larry Colen wrote: We went to the cinema last night, and there were several times during the movie I noticed the photography.
