The Vast Majority Of The Cgi Budget

I Think 3d At 24 Frames Is Interesting, But It's The 48 That Actually Allows 3d To Achieve The Potential That It Can Achieve, Because It's Less Eye Strain And You Have A Sharper Picture Which Creates More Of A 3-dimensional World.

No Matter How Many Great Performances Or Exciting Visuals We Put Together For The Movie, We Found That It Was All Somewhat Two Dimensional Until We Added The Emotional Heart Of Howard Shore's Music. Then, And Only Then, Did The Film Come To Life.

I Think That's The Job Of A Director Really, To Sort Of Funnel All The Creativity Into One Centralized Point Of Being.

To Me, Fantasy Should Be As Real As Possible. I Don't Buy Into The Notion That Because It's Fantastic, It Should Be Unrealistic, Because I Think You Have To Have A Sense Of Believing The World That You're Going Into.

The One Thing With 3d Presentations Is I Think That 3d Itself, Whether It's 24 Or 48, Is At A Very Interesting Point In Time.
