This is a pretty good article.
Apr. 2nd, 2010 03:33 pmWhy is the 3-D so bad in Clash of the Titans?
My supervisor could tell you much more on the topic (and I could tell you a bit too), but this article covers the one-step-beyond-layman info pretty well. But basically, it comes down to "2D-to-3D conversions without sufficient time, budget, and knowledge SUCKS."

YESSSSSSS the Japanese trailer is out. Now you guys can see how hilariously creepy the edit was. XD Although this is a very different cut from the rough teaser one I saw, it's still about the same in atmosphere, and represents the overall tone of the movie INFINITELY times better than the English trailers.

It's interesting that the Japanese translation calls the spirits "dead ghosts". Not quite true, but spoooooky. Then again about half of the subtitles in that trailer were inaccurate. XP
Edit: Notice not a SINGLE "humbug" in that trailer

Our trailer x2!
Sep. 28th, 2009 08:02 amWhat do you know, they managed to make that second trailer after all! :D It's not significantly more respectable (more squeaky voice than the actual movie D:) but at least it shows more better-rendered scenes.

Our trailer!

Yaaaay, they finally put it online. I don't know why they finally decided to do it now - maybe because of D23 Expo? But we're scheduled to have a longer trailer out next week with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, so this one is like virtually obsolete :P Though from what I've heard about the new trailer, it doesn't really paint the movie in a much more respectable light. JUST GO SEE IT OKAY I SWEAR IT'S NOT RIDICULOUS HIJINKS
At least now you can see for yourself how good the animation quality is! And personally I think this looks better than what I've seen in the theaters because the color timing has been kind of weird and blown out. These online clips are representative of the original color space from the images I've been seeing at work. :3

Germany does everything better
Jul. 7th, 2009 09:17 amGoddamn! Why does Germany have a totally way more badass movie poster than we do!? I want to trade in my free company-distributed poster for this one! Fortunately the link has a huge resolution version that I MIGHT JUST PRINT OUT MYSELF GODDAMMIT
Seriously, check it out it's like 100x more awesome: http://www.dvd-forum.at/4571/news_kino.htm

There is nothing promoting about this

Leave it to marketing to pick the (almost) worst possible single image and 19 non-contiguous seconds of footage out of a beautiful 5-minute trailer to send to the press! Regardless, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kocGcNowtCY&fmt=22 Just... keep in mind that it's 1) blurry and dark from compression 2) not in THREE DEE 3) cut up like Wolverine, Freddie Kreuger, and Edward Scissorhands just got done with it 4) not showing any of the emotive acting moments whatsoever. ARGLEBLARGLE
K...keep posted for further redeeming footage...
