One of the few really good lessons from the arrowsverse is shared assets. They did the same thing with the clone wars/ rebels. ********************* I can now do my meandering talk about Rebels that I just finished. 1. Tom Baker as a giant Force elk...sold! 2. Mal had a full story arc. Since Filoni is in charge now, I guess that's all folks. 3. Thrawn sounds like Ricardo Montalbán. 4. Mandelorians greatest enemy...other Mandeloriums. Seriously they probably would have beaten the empire to the punch if they didn't bicker like children. 5. Man they present bo katan as a big thing as opposed to an also ran in clone wars. 6. Mandolearns greatest fear, essentially a tesla coil. 7. A3's purpose is to have a more militaristic version of c-3p0. and he has a way better perception score (I was right...again). 8. really like how the b-wing is the predessessor to the death star. 9. They used Clancy Brown We all think he's either the bad guy or the source of betrayal. Then they use him for betrayal and it's all according to the rebel's plan. Well played Star Wars Rebels for using our media-savvy against us. shades of eternity fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Feb 18, 2021 |

When you have a show with aliens on it, those actors are sent to a makeup and wardrobe team that also works with the rest of the cast. Only the most complex aliens would ever get a dedicated SFX member. For a puppet, you have to design and create the puppet, multiple times, with lots of spare parts. Then you have to hire the voice actor, and the puppeteer, and pay them both separately, and then the puppeteer and the voice actor need time to work privately to get it down. There was a time in hollywood when puppeteers could also voice act, but IIRC something about SAG/VAG makes that way, way harder to do now.

Bust Rodd posted:The crinkles were literally intentionally added aging effects and wrinkles to make her look more like a living thing and less like a plastic toy and only the most egregiously pedantic simpletons were like “oh geeze they really had no make up budget, look at this shoddy craftsmanship, it ought to be smooth like the plastic cones they used 45 years ago!!” Yeah all the complaining about that was strange. I mean I noticed it right off and thought "Oh, nice touch. They gave her age creases where here tentacle things flex when she moves". I mean I've never looked at somebody's frown lines or the inside of their elbows and told 'em they need a better special effects team.

Butterfly Valley posted:The simple thing to remember about aliens is budget. It's expensive to do realistic looking prosthetics or anything CGI, hence Star Trek and a multitude of alien races being humans except with gills or some other feature easily added/removed with makeup. Even more so now that everything is shot in 4K - look at the amount of scrutiny Ahsoka's headtail crinkles got. Yeah, but this show is tossing out high end stuff all over the place for little one off scenes. Hell, the one eyed dude at the boxing match looked great...well there was a bit where the eye wasn't working right for a couple of lines...But that was easily at least 100 to 150 K of animatronic protetics they used for a five minute open. They've had better makeup on background extras out of focus due to depth of field than you see up front in a lot of films. The money is there for more exotic aliens to be front and center, and between how well Quill and the baby worked I hope they have the confidence go nuts with it. *Actually a lot of foam silicone appliances can run 100 to 150K without animatronics so I'm probably way low on the cost of one eye. Hell, back in the early 2000's Rygel from Farscape cost a little north of a million bucks.

You're missing the point: they were able to go more exotic with those characters because they were only visible for a few moments of screen time, or were in the background and accordingly out of scrutiny. Put them front and centre as main characters and any problems become amplified. They can afford it for one or two supporting characters, like Kuiil, but the cost would be prohibitive to do it for a whole cast week in week out. Even for a tentpole show like Mandalorian it's evident that they don't have an unlimited budget. If it wasn't for the Volume, I reckon you'd have seen the general quality of the rest of the show take a bit of a nosedive. It's allowed them to spend the money where it counts.

Starts to make sense why say, Garak and Dukat are considered special guests in DS9 even given their pivotal roles in the narrative since the Cardassian makeup is expensive and time-consuming as poo poo for what amounts to basically a particularly elaborate version of signature Star Trek rubber foreheads.

Right. Garak and Dukat are only in something like 20-something episodes each, despite being pivotal in DS9's overall story.

If they're desperate to make a Star Wars cowboy show .... Timothy Olyphant is right there. If I were angling to get my own frontier-themed Star Wars show and knew Timothy Olyphant was hanging around I'd keep my dumb mouth shut. He's the most well-suited person for that job, on the planet.

I'm going to start watching Star Wars Droids and annoy you with horrible commentary. ******************************* Season 1, Episode 1: "The White Witch" Okay the theme song still kicks rear end, even if it is essentially C3p0s lament of wanting to help his friends in situations of adversity. and yesh, I was supposed to start heckling the animation but cripes the backdrop is amazing. C3p0 is stuck in a junkpile, oh nose r2d2 is dead...yeah right :p and now we find out how much George Lucas wasn't cool when Jord Dusat and Thall Joben show up. They are such an 80's cliche. okay, very much a fan of the Fromm Tower Droid. It's about as feasible as any vehicle and I love it's mobile bomb drones. Fromm Tower Droid https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Fromm_Tower_Droid yay, random female potential love interest. C-3p0 has a rock and is not afraid to use it. :p Okay the Fromm gangsters are lame. Tiggy in particular while not on par with Jar Jar, is definitely the scrappy doo so far. and they want to take over the gangs of course. Woah Mama The White Witch: What Pod Racing should have been. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/White_Witch Oh no they kidnapped a protagonist at the half way point in an 80's cartoon, will he ever be back. :p and remember when Jedi were actually rare and a lightsaber cameo was the only appearance in the entire series. Pepperidge farm remembers. :p and oh no c3p0 and female love interest have to push buttons so their buddy doesn't get smucked in the star wars equivelent of a thwomp. and he's rescued thanks to r2d2 plucky can do attitude...never saw that coming. I stand corrected. Belly bounce works on droids.  C3p0 went nyah to turn on the other droids, and it worked. droid factory went boom. Now tiggy is doing a kylo renn. :p so to conclude, clueless morons discovered mob r and d location and got away.
