It's ridiculous that the visual effects award is limited to three nominees, while other similar categories (cinematography, film editing, etc) get five. But, as the Academy leadership has told the visual effects branch on several occasions, 'you're lucky to have three nominations, so get over it.' :(Todd Vazirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09098040041978835594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37846398.post-4236887672608390452009-01-17T02:33:00.000-08:002009-01-17T02:33:00.000-08:00Really looking forward to this, the vfx work looks...Really looking forward to this, the vfx work looks great from the quick glimpses in the trailer. I only hope that in the final film it's not so rapidly edited, and we get a good look at the work. <BR/><BR/>Would love some of the shots to really get across the huge bulk of the ships and the grandeur of being in orbit around a planet, like we see in NASA footage.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to find out all about this work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37846398.post-69671943703225019952009-01-16T19:05:00.000-08:002009-01-16T19:05:00.000-08:00Wow.

Based on that image alone and the trailer, my predictions for the 2009 VFX Oscar are...<BR/><BR/>Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen<BR/>Star Trek<BR/>Avatar<BR/><BR/>Yet another year that ILM might hold two of the three nominations. (Why can't this category have five nominees like every other category?) Everyone says Avatar will win, but pray that TF:ROTF takes it instead.TylerMiragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047553975841522030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37846398.post-83834908540581838522009-01-16T12:51:00.000-08:002009-01-16T12:51:00.000-08:00This is very cool.

He has a scene with the new Scotty, Simon Pegg. Got to love that!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37846398.post-10449872103359900132009-01-16T12:18:00.000-08:002009-01-16T12:18:00.000-08:00That shot is epic.
