Here is a summary of the updates that Ian Bryce has posted in this thread on Don Murphy's message board. Some of the news is from yesterday evening, others parts are new."Other key crew:
John Frazier - Special Effects
Allegra Clegg - Production Manager
Still interested in locations? If so, maybe I can narrow it down a bit...
Brad Alexander is NOT our pre-viz supe...he works for a company that did some pre-viz before we came onboard....our pre-viz supervisor is Steve Yamamoto and he is awesome....
Scott Farrar is the ILM vfx supe
There are two Jeff Mann's....one is a production designer and one is an ILM exec who used to be a model supervisor there...
No cast set yet....soon though....not accurate to say some faction of production wants celeb fest....think everyone wants good actors first - if they are celebs too that doesn't hurt...
General process on robots (which I'm sure many of you are familiar with - just answering some questions that I see as I can) is that we create the 2D art designs which, when approved, then get modeled in 3D at either ILM or our art dept....after that ILM gives motion, shading, lighting etc based on the different scene requirements....from the 3D models we can also construct any required live action robot's or pieces of robots (which we will be doing some of)
Can't be specific about which robots or designs unfortunately....everyone wants to keep a lid on it for now...
robot designs came first in this case...toys being designed to our robots designs....wouldn't worry too much about how they'll move...Bay will make them very exciting...."
