What were your favorite bits? Im no star, just > a systems guy who got tired of IRIX :) Saw it tonight, it's a great movie overall, and the FX are very nicely done. Obviously Manex are a clever bunch of people. So how much of the rendered bits did you guys do? The main reason I want to know is to be able to explain to people "you know XXX in the film? Done on FreeBSD", and then act just a little smug. I liked the slomo bullets and bullet trails, but I'm picking the Manex bits were probably the "spaceship" underground scenes with the Sentinels? Very nicely done! It's a very good film BTW, for people who haven't seen it. Does a few new things in a stylistic sense for an action movie, and does them well. I really liked the slomo gunfights, I just kept watching all the flying particles (eg storming the building lobby) and the people in close proximity and thinking "how they do that?". > > Tried to see if freebsd was mentioned on the list of credits --- > > yes I know I am a dreamer -- instead I saw Charles Henrich > > mentioned ! -- Congrats! > > FreeBSD didnt come into the picture into well after the credits were > already finalized, otherwise I would've tried :) Yeah, congrats Charles, following Amancio's tipoff I hung round to make sure I saw it. The scroll the bastards damn fast though, almost missed it. -- C. -- Craig Harding Head of Postproduction, Outpost Digital Media Ltd "I don't know about God, I just think we're handmade" - Polly To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
