nice one.but the article was way to much inclined towards the effects of the polar bears.i think all the other studios who worked on the movie deserved more than just a tiny little paragraph in the article :shrug:.

man, that movie looks hot. It didnt get the top reviews but Im sure its more than decent, heard the books are great, they did the polar bears in the character of the week over at ca some time ago if your interested.... funny they aded a cg dog to thoes pics, I thought actor dogs existed irl.

In all fairness, it is introduced by PaulHellard as 'an indepth feature story about the CG Bears in the story'. So it's not a general write up about all the VFX present in the film. There's always Cinefex for that.

Or the two slightly less in-depth articles over at vfxworld (part 1 (http://www.vfxworld.com/?atype=articles&id=3476) and part 2 (http://vfxworld.com/?atype=articles&id=3478&page=1))

That is true....buuuuttt...

The second page has imagery almost entirely from Rhythm and Hues. (Monkey, Stel, Pan) And even the bear shot has rhythm's dogs in the bg...

anyhoo, I do think the bears are very nice...just thought it was interesting they put our animals in a Framestore article...

just saying, in true fairness... :thumbsup:

Hi Matt.

My thoughts exactly. Although the article was an interesting reading.

[Lone Deranger]

Yeah.. that's true... I did find that somewhat odd.. :curious:

[moonsafari]

i strongly concur with the remarks of others who cite the use of imagery created by other studios. it's a disservice to the men and women who poured their hearts into creating those images.

waiting for it!!!

[kmest]

nice article...congrats to everyone envolved.....

[ikuru]

someone shoild takr a good solid grip of that polar bear and spank it! spank it hard!

[Mayuresh-Salunke]

Hello,
The article is great, but its more focused on framestore-cfc's contribution to the film and especially on the making of cg Bears.
but the second page has most of the animals done by Rhythm and hues Studios.
it would have been great if there was a seperate article, on the huge contribution of rhythm and Hues studios made to the movie Golden Compass .

Best

The scenes with the bears were really amazing. The whole movie is great. I highly recommend it!

Good stuff...

Don't forget to check out the film title at Forget the Film, Watch the Titles. The Golden Compass opener was designed by Richard Morrisson who recently joined the multimedia studio Th1ng, UK. It's a very short film title, but nice. A version with sound is not yet available:

Interesting article and great pictures, thanks!

Edit: By the way, Kidman plays Ms. Coutler, not the magisterium.
