For "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991), Robert Patrick learned how to fire a gun without blinking, to prepare for his role as the T-1000, a killer robot.
🎥 4 shots
🤖 16 rounds
👁 1 blink
The GIF at the top of this post is real-time, as it was seen in the film. If It Were Made Today™: would still have Patrick train to fire the weapon without blinking; the one blink in this sequence could be digitally painted out by a talented paint artist.
I failed I was going for no blinks! https://t.co/EftqN93Okc— Robert Patrick 🇺🇸 (@robertpatrickT2) September 21, 2018
In the theater, the audience blinked at the exact moment you did, so they never saw it. 🤣— Todd Vaziri (@tvaziri) September 21, 2018

Todd: I read that they did correct his slight limp in the motion capture data
ReplyDeleteFast Astra: most actors don't even bother learning not to flinch
