| Thanks, man.. certainly does. Very surprising to hear about the up-rezing. but it makes sense. really awesome work to you and the team on this movie.. I just watched it yesterday because of this thread and enjoyed seeing all of the subtle work you guys did... overlays in POV/HUD setups and stuff that are really subdued and "just there" vs. standing out at you... all make for a more believable experience. I was reading an article the other day about that recent Tom Cruise movie, Oblivion, and how they chose to shoot as much of the interface stuff practically as they could. When you mention working on Mockingjay, is this for final in-camera UI work? or more just for actor's hand placements and stuff? I like the idea of creating mograph that actually gets used practically in film. Creates a much richer shot without having to worry about replacement glares and reflections and such.
