Star Wars Episode I: Visual Effects Featurette

[@heydavedawson]

I’m so proud of GL. Stuck to his vision and took risks.

[@zacharyvance2365]

I always loved watching ILM talk about and showing off the models they made. I’m of the mind that physical models and CGI can actually help inform one another rather than compete against each other. I’ve noticed that fans forget the great number of practical set pieces were used to make the prequels.

[@chang-kp9sp]

This is why Starwars movies are favorite and watched again and again generation. These movies are meticulously detailed and well planned that some recent movies are lack of.

[@MagicSwordFilms]

Its too bad people give Phantom Menace such a bad rep because this was honestly revolutionary at the time. Sure they had some motion capture but so much of this was completely done by hand and rendered pixel by pixel before real time graphics could be pushed anything further than the OG Half Life. Toy Story happened first sure, but that wasn't trying to convince anyone that it could stand next to a real actor and be believed. The pod racing scene, Theed, the underwater city, the giant fish, the trade federation ship battle, seriously... this was some achievement.

[@jaxlegoproductions4147]

I agree, but most of the things you mentioned were practical effects

[@MagicSwordFilms]

@@jaxlegoproductions4147 Lol yea looking at my comment 2 years later, you're right half of those were miniatures

[@paulpierantozzi]

People hate this movie and complain that the CGI took away the craftsmanship and passion of the OT. When I watch these BTS videos all I see are a bunch of people who have an immense passion for what they do and the incredible technical skill to make things that previously were not possible. These ILM guys paved the way for all the modern movies we enjoy today and all behind the vision and backing of George Lucas. I love the prequels for everything they are and despite their flaws. Episode 3 is my favorite star wars movie.

[@MikeBsMovies]

Phantom Menace was the best looking prequel I thought, lots of pretty shots

[@michaelcarnevale103]

Just because you want to do 2k effects shots isn't a bad thing. George knew that he had to be bold and visionary. I don't think it's funny to make fun of him with the highlighters on the marker board. Remember this was 1997-1999. He was ahead of his time.

Avatar really wasn't anything new in terms of visual effects. Star Wars Episodes 1 already had it happening 10 years prior.

[@GUARDIANA01]

@The Sci-Fi Dragon Its the 3D real world aspect that i believe Cameron wanted to include in his vision even in the 2D versions. There were a tonne of new visual effect techniques used in Avatar, Microsoft even created a cloud server system from scratch just to hold the data for Avatar's new effects rigs. Cant remember all the tech changes but it was groundbreaking in its filming effects despite being an average story. Valerian though, absolutely -- it could've been done years earlier. The Fifth Element was legendary in comparison and it was many years prior , definitely a fav and Besson was on it back then with effects and practical also. Love that movie! ;)

[@Pattonator14]

Being able to see CGI characters in real-time as the actors performed was absolutely huge. Also cmon, Phantom Menace looked good for its time but Avatar objectively blows it out of the water

[@darthmaul54sith7]

Anyone could go and steal it! Wouldnt she wanna keep that artifact sealed & safe? Also, if she is friends with the Resistance- why wouldnt she tell anyone that she has Luke's saber? She doesnt even tell Han Solo about it until he sees it and says " where'd you get that?" and then she doesnt even have an answer for him.

[@darthmaul54sith7]

hopefully these questions i have about her will be clarified in episode 8.

[@mikejandrews]

crixxxxxxxxx I am so often amazed at how *few* so-called Star Wars fans fail to grasp the intentional stylistic choice made for the prequel movies. Have you ever watched any of the classic serials that these movies were inspired by? Give it a go, and maybe you'll understand that what you consider to be wooden acting, is actually a classic acting style... There is nothing wrong with the acting in this movie. It is no more "cringe inducing" than the acting in the original film.

[@mackmitchell94]

The practical effects actually increased with every Star Wars film. Attack of the clones and Revenge of the sith used more then Phantom Menace.

[@Manuginobili1000]

+otdoud that's exactly what happened when they made the originals too. Why would they challenge him? When it comes to Star Wars George Lucas is the boss, it's all in his head. I'm not saying ideas didn't come from other people as films are always collaborative efforts, but the myth that the only reason the originals were good was because people didn't listen to George Lucas is a complete lie. For example, on empire strikes back if Irvin Kershner had a question or needed help on a particular scene who do u think he would ask? Well obviously he would ask George Lucas because it was George's story. Now let's say George came up to Kershner and said " hey Kersh, we need to go back to this scene and change it up" what do u think Kersh would say? He would say "yes George, we'll do it as soon as possible". People were always yes men to George Lucas when it came to Star Wars especially after the first film came out and was a hit.

[@DavidLand91]

[@robertpritchard9962]

This video is a good illustration of why the prequels look bad, and it has nothing to do with "good CGI" or "bad CGI." Even the best CGI in the world won't be convincing if it's used to depict things that couldn't exist. That's why IMO the worst CG character is Watto. He may be photorealistic, but you just know those tiny little wings couldn't possibly support the weight of his fat belly. There's a reason we don't see golden retriever-sized hummingbirds flying around. Your brain knows physical objects couldn't be behaving the way they're shown to be behaving, so the whole thing ends up looking fake, regardless of the quality of the CGI. McCallum says Lucas, in the writing, didn't let himself be restricted by what scenes or characters would be hard to do, and I believe him, but I don't think it's the whole truth. Rather, I think Lucas expressly tried to write scenes and characters that *would* be hard to do. Like, he let himself be restricted by what would be *easy* to do. Ambition is fine, but in this case it led them to create fundamentally unrealistic locations and characters that can't be redeemed no matter how detailed the surfacing becomes.

Rowan J Coleman No because they're good movies, the prequels ain't.

[@RowanJColeman]

Kyran Feeley Without the prequels the movies mentioned wouldn't exist and if they did not in their current form.

[@ringe1008]

[@KAvanAlten]

I really do question how much of those you have seen. Star Wars Christmas special?

[@AyanKhan-og3sd]

You Ever watched The Rise Of Skywalker ?

[@buzzfunk]

All that talent and money -not create a unfunny cg character that add nothing to the sw universe. I hated tpm when I saw it in theaters. Now not so much but it’s still unwatchable.

Let's see... he brings the Naboo and Gungans together and gives Palpatine emergency powers that leads to the creation of a clone army that begins the Clone Wars. But sure, he's not important at all.
