Lord of Oop North Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) 3 hours ago, Kalnak the Magnificent said: In general it was the same in mandalorian and Boba fett, and slightly close to that in obi wan. My theory is that because of the volume they have to shoot characters alone and then splice them together later. Why do you think this is necessary? There are photos of them filming on Stagecraft with multiple actors. The system itself is the LED video walls, electronically linked/sync'd to the movement of camera dollies. Multiple actors would get captured by the camera, just as well as one would. The synchronization of the background to the camera perspective is the big breakthrough of this system.

Slurktan Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 So I'm trying to understand why bad lady apprentice and Not Ezra didnt shoot the ship that they knew had no power and shields rather than the jedi on top of it. Did they not realize that would also kill the jedi? Also why didn't retconned nightsister keep shooting the ship? And..... did Hera and Freddie Prinze Jr have like a surrogate? Why does the kid not have any twi'lek features? JGP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does the kid not have any twi'lek features? Not-Sith apprentice seemed determined to take out Ahsoka directly, because reasons. The ship dropped off Morgan's ship scopes, so she couldn't keep shooting. I mean their ship drifted through the ring. Yes, Hera and Kanan had a kid which took everyone who watched Rebels by surprise mainly because it seemed they couldn't even sneak in a kiss now and then due to constant interruptions. Who knows why Filoni decided to make the kid human looking with green hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of it may be for closer shots it doesn't work as well. I really don't know; I'm just observing that the scenes play like the actors aren't in the same room as each other.

If this is the first time you've watched Auralnauts Star Wars stuff you are in for a treat. Specifically watch the 6 episode Larry season 1, It legitimately takes Obi Wan and makes a good show out of it somehow.

So the size of the 360' stage is fixed, anything in front of the LED screens would need to be physical set/props. The Stagecraft system is just creating background scenery. Just google Stagecraft Volume and you will see lots of photos of it in action, with multiple actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to figure out why actors are behaving like they're on Valium. I still think that it is directorial choice more than anything. It's not like we haven't seen Rosario Dawson or Mary Elizabeth Winstead acting well in other places or with more fire. I'm trying to give some other charitable views to explain it.

The Batman and Oblivion were both filmed with volume or volume-like technology and they look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think this is a reasonable take at all. Winstead has great range and in particular can do fucking angry as hell when she wants to. I think that's just directorial shittiness and bad writing there too. That she's not being given anything interesting to do or engage with doesn't help things either, mind you, but it's very telling that the most "Hera" we've seen her was chasing after the not-Sith's ship and having quick, witty dialog with...Chopper.

Ran Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Winstead is great, but I don't think she's ever done a makeup heavy thing. It's not impossible that the whole process and the feel of it has thrown her off? That said, other actors are stilted. I don't know why. Ashoka I can understand if Dawson was told to play her character as now very zen and deliberate in thought and action. But everyone else who is in the same boat? Not sure.

She did that action thing recently on Netflix (Kate) where she was absolutely covered in gore, cuts, bruises, etc. She seemed fine in that. 6 minutes ago, Ran said: That said, other actors are stilted.

But yeah, this. I can't blame the actress's makeup for Sabine being that way. I can't blame Huyang for doing that either, though at the very least him being robotic and unemotional is reasonably in-character. Should we blame Ray Stevenson's beard for his lack of emotion? Should we blame that tiny tiny tattoo on the Dathomir witch's line delivery? I just think that it's not anything to do with the actors and everything to do with what they've been given.

Werthead Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 On 9/1/2023 at 7:08 AM, IlyaP said: This forum is like, the greatest anti-marketing ever for this show. The forum shat very hard on Seasons 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian despite their reception elsewhere. Not necessarily a bad thing - the uniform adulation Season 1 got in some quarters was mildly ridiculous - but some the criticisms were weird. Although many of the criticisms levelled at Season 1 I think actually came to fruition in Season 3, so maybe not. 14 hours ago, Ser Rodrigo Belmonte II said: hilarious stuff ! Auralnauts is a bit hit and miss (depending heavily on your tolerance for long techno sequences), but when they land on the button they are fantastic. The fourth one is particularly excellent: Spoiler Vader as the completely hapless duty manager for Lazer Moon (the biggest mock-laser combat installation in the galaxy), and everything is fine until Threepio - driven completely insane by multiple movies' worth of adventure without skin - tricks R2 (who is much dumber in this continuity) into mega-overloading Lazer Moon's advertising system and vapourising their client-planet of Alderaan. It's genuinely hilarious. "There is just no way we can spin this." Threepio is also responsible for Owen and Beru's death, because he doesn't like how they treat Luke and suspects it's an abusive parental relationship. "Let's kill them!" - notices R2's shocked reponse - "With kindness!" dog-days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I liked her in that. That said, gore makeup is a bit different than having your entire head and face covered in makeup+prosthetics. Still, it's likelier something else is going on. I don't think it's the Volume, as such. It's the script and/or the direction, I figure. Something is leaving a lot of it feeling stilted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horangi Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Episode 4 was the best so far for me. Spoiler We finally get some grey characters as opposed to the usual good vs evil with both Sabine and Titus Pullo (more like Andor in that sense). Its nice to see the bad guys win some times, it helps build up some level of suspense. A couple silly things of course. Sabine and Ashoka promise to stay together, then immediately split up when they could have sorted out apprentice goth lady 2 on 1 and then the same with Baylan. If Ashoka ends up with a copy of the map burned into her hand, Indiana Jones style, I am going to laugh out loud. Of course its only half the map, so their travel will be 2 lightyears too long.
