TMNT 2014 New poster art.

[Welmanshire]

I went on Legacy Effects website just now too see if they were still doing the new Turtles film and I found this -

It looks to be a logo for the film and what could be the first look at the shell of one of the Turtles.

[Cure]

Neat. More importantly, they're doing Muppets 2! AAAAAAAAAAW YEAH!

[chrisdude]

Shell shape matches the mocap shells. But why the heck would an effects company use a pixelated font? I mean, I looked at the site, this "poster" is there. But that font...

[Cure]

They've got other things to worry about than poster fonts, man.

[chrisdude]

They've got other things to worry about than poster fonts, man.Imagine someone putting in that symbol, typing "2014," and saying, "That looks bad, but I've got no time to fix it." :ohwell:

[Cure]

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Still, no biggie.

[Kendamu]

It's probably just a proof-of-concept.

[xChri5x]

The shells are even too big for the movie poster....damn.

[Teddy]

The shells are even too big for the movie poster....damn.

:tlol:

They sure aren't giving much away, are they?

I know, man. I thought the same thing. I'm guessing it's just something they have thrown together quickly from renders they had, mainly so they can advertise it on their site.

[Vi11AiN6]

Judging from that shell I'm going to speculate that the TMNT's designs are going to be similer to the Out of the Shadows game

2 completely different designs!

Using pixellated fonts is just plain unprofessional and makes whoever designed this poster no better than an amateur.

It could be a concept design, but then it has no purpose being displayed on a website in its clearly unfinished state. They need to adjust the opaque levels on the white logo and the "2014," and personally, I would change the font of that altogether. I would probably also make the logo appear as if it were carved on the back of the turtle shell.

[snake]

It looks ok, I agree that the pixellated font shouldn't be used. It looks way too much like a fan-made poster.

[DonatelloNinja82]

Looks alright, needs to be touched up a little...then I'd hang it up!

[pihb]

what's with the hieroglyphic?

[Candy Kappa]

I think the font looks okay

[Powder]

Extremely amateur poster...

[oldmanwinters]

Hmm... reminds me of the "Turtle hermit" symbol on Goku's uniform.

[NYShell]

WAIT. Someone please clarify. Is that an official Turtles 2014 image/poster?

[Welmanshire]

I don't know if it is official, but legacy fx are using it to tote them doing the movie on their site. Google them and go into features. Thats where I found it.

[TigerClaw]

Or you could visit there official site and you'll find the Image on there under Features.

So yeah, you could use the power of google, find their official site and go into features.

[NYShell]

Wasn't Platinum Dunes doing production and effects?

[Welmanshire]

I always thought Platinum Dunes were only a production company. I thinm Weta was attached for a bit, it's definitely Legacy now though.

[TigerClaw]

Legacy EFX maybe just one of the FX companies working on the movie, Its a known fact that these movies tend to have more then one FX company working the CGI for them, Dont be surprise if ILM is working on some CGI for the film also.

[Refractive Reflections]

I have to agree with some of the people here about the 2014 pixelated font. It's too amauterish to even be considered from an "official" draft of the poster, besides they would also put the official title of the movie and most likely it's font. (The same font and style used in those directing chairs.)

Sorry, it's probably some fan made poster... the work is just too unprofessional.

Weta would be awesome. Their work in LOTR was amazing.

I would love for ILM to be on board. They made the Transformers look legit.

Yeah. I don't think its official. I saw another poster online showing the 4 turtle actors names and headbands of each turtle. I don't think that's official either.

[BubblyShell22]

That poster looks awful and not something I would call official.

ILM are confirmed so far. They ar using pretty much the same stunt, effects and pre production crews as The Avengers from the looks of it.

[Bob]

It’s clearly something they just (quickly) put together themselves.

[NYShell]

Avengers was a good movie, but hopefully the Turtles don't look like the Chitauri. They didn't look that great. Everything else was fine though.

I bet we can also expect some really good Parkour style scenes with the Turtles jumping rooftop to rooftop.

[Welmanshire]

I hope so. It is something that lacked in the original live action movies. I mean, they had rooftop scenes. But not as we saw them in the comics, They didn't particularly use them stealthily or for traveling.

[Bob]

ILM are confirmed so far.

Where was this confirmed?

[Welmanshire]

Where was this confirmed?

ILM updated their imdb page.

I really would love to see that. They sort of had it in the 2007 TMNT movie... but it was a piece of crap. (Respectfully saying... kind of)

Meh. I have never cared for that movie. If you check out Laird's blog, I'm fairly sure that he has put up a bunch of notes/emails he wrote from early versions of the script. It was even more ridiculous before they put his notes into play.

[Shark_Blade]

It looks like a beetle bug than a turtle. Awful design.

[Slap-Happy]

A lot of the people on this forum seem to have no clue how movie production, let alone effects companies work.

This is not an official poster, just something that the company has to show that they are working on the film. And just because Legacy is working on it, that doesn't mean ILM isn't. The two companies focus on completely different aspects of effects.

Legacy works in design and the manifestation of those designs that can be seen by actors on set, be it in 3D modeling or maquettes. ILM is probably doing most of the visual effects in conjunction with Legacy's input.

While Weta is most likely doing all the motion capture stuff. So you have different FX companies working in different aspects of the movie.

Looks like a turtle Carapace to me.

[madyankees]

Looks fake to me. The font anyway...

[The Stryker]

It's a hastily put together graphic made by a FX company for their website.

Why are we studying this?

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

I wish it was Comic Con time so we could finally see these damn things already.:tsad:

First of all, no one is claiming it's official. I just figured I would share the image with my fellow technodrome users.

Secondly, if you read back over the posts you are referring to, no one said that Legacy and ILM aren't both working on the film. Infact we said that they are both confirmed. Weta may still be working on it, but we don't know for sure.

[Slap-Happy]

Oh no, I'm not talking about you. There are some other people in this thread that don't understand that it isn't official, and a couple others who seem to have a hard time grasping the fact that multiple effects companies work on big budget movies.

should have had some more colors, their turtles not tortoises.

Like a Red Eared Slider or a Diamond Back.

[Plasticplayhouse]

very interesting. i prefer this design far better than the out of the shadowns shell designs.

[redsai4lex]

just one of many concepts Im sure... I remember dozens of poster concepts from TMNT(2007), and none of which were the final version or box-arts...

Did we ever get a Ninja Turtle that had a multi-colored shell? I think it was always green. I doubt they will make it like that (but it would be cool!)

Still, the Turtles are Red Eared Sliders in the first live action movies and the Mirage Comic. In the Nick Toon Don hypothesized that they where Diamond Backs.

And in the new game Out of the Shadows, they have albeit muted, various colors in their skin tome like proper Terrapins. it's a design choice I'd love to see more in future installment of the TMNT.

[Genesis]

I never really dug the whole red-eared slider thing. They don't look a bit like them, and their shells seem to be the separated/hinged variety (like what you might see on a box turtle, as opposed to the type of shell sported by the pond turtles most people suggest they're supposed to be). Personally, I've just let them be generic "turtles" that aren't necessarily represented by a real-life species. It's far more effort than it's worth to try to pin a specific species on them. I can't imagine the Turtles looking good with the kind of skin that red-eared sliders sport. But hey, what do I know, right?

And I much prefer the dull brown colour of the shell over any weird, attention-drawing patterns in this cruddy poster (which, while I'm at it, looks like a fan pasted that graphic on top of the likely official shell render.

im with you on this..

[Casey]

Yeah. That just looks bad. It is definitely unprofessional and I know plenty of amateurs who could do a better job than that. Even if it is just "a proof of concept" why put it on their website when it looks like ****?

Also, if that tribal turtle symbol is any clue to a plot device then I am scared.
