What do you think the turtles will look like? - Page 4

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 08-12-2013, 12:38 PM

Has it even been confirmed whether they will be in costumes or CGI yet?

Judging from the photos we've seen of the set they'll be CGI.

Uh, yeah, like 2 years ago. CGI.

Actually, two years ago they were saying it was going to be like Where the Wild things are, a mixture of practical costumes and cgi animation for the heads\faces.
It wasn't until the last year or so it was CONFIRMED that they would be full CGI using motion capture.
You need to be less condescending if you are going to get you facts wrong.

*your

& I'd say 2 years is mighty close, even if it's off a little.

I would say a simple typo, such as "you" instead of "your", is mighty close too. Possibly closer than your throw away statement of two years instead of one, even if it was off a little. Like 12 months.
But don't let that stop you from picking at something so small, to gain a sense of superiority when you have been called out for being wrong.

I really have no expectations as to what they'll look like. I'm sure that no-matter what design they end up going with, they'll look cool. I kinda hope they have more individualized looks to them, like in the new cartoon. I'd be fine with beaks and tails, just as long as they look cool, and can talk.

While I'm not worried about how they'll look in the movie itself, I am kinda worried about Playmates making toys based on them. They'll most-likely be based on concept art, so there's bound to be some difference. There's also Playmates weird sculpting...It's getting better, but I can't say that I have any confidence in them. Will just have to wait and see.

I don't know if I would be ok with beaks. I just feel as though it would hinder the articulation of their mouths too much.

It's sometimes wiser to drop things, no?

So tempted to drop that Dr. Phil pic in, but I won't.

My main point to you is that you shouldn't be so condescending to those who have very few posts.

If you are happy to move on, then so am I.

*Powder* · 08-13-2013, 05:45 AM

I don't see why folks think post count has any significance. There are people here with more posts than I who I'll gladly be 'condescending' to any day.

Sure we can new guy. Greeeaaat first post.

As I recall before the Viacom sale, either Peter Laird or Kevin Munroe did say something about wanting to do a hybrid movie that utilizes live actors with the Turtles and Splinter being done in CGI. I don't know why though? I still believe costumes would be more appealing to the audience.

*Powder* · 08-14-2013, 12:33 AM

Unfortunately the movie we would have gotten without the buyout would have been much different (and presumably better, for my tastes at least) than what we seem to be getting. & yes, that original one was slated to feature some organic props/costumes.

Actually, it was in 2010 (3 years ago when the film was first announced) that they said it would be a mixture of CGI and Practical suits.

But since Platinum Dunes and Michael Bay came on board in 2011 (2 years ago), they have always said that they turtles would be CGI. However, it wasn't until Liebesman came on board in February of last year that it was said they'd be Mocap CGI.

This is from comicbookmovie.com:

First off, sources have come forward with minor details on the Turtles' new look in the upcoming reboot. Their new look is said to be noticeably different, however, still recognizable from what has come before. A notable difference is that the new turtles are considerably more humanoid than previous incarnations. This is in line with what was described in the original script of the film (which also described a more humanoid appearance for the turtles, including a considerably taller height than usual), as well as early set reports from members of the press back in June. Of course, take this with a grain of salt for now.

So, more humanoid? I'm not that surprised. It explains why each of the actors they've chosen to perform the Turtles sort of "look" like their characters. They also say that filming has officially finished. My guess is we'll get a trailer by the end of the year.

Ugh, our worst fears have been realized. Can you imagine how ugly green shaped human faces will look like on Turtle heads?

It just gets worse and worse.

Speak for yourself, dude. I'm still waiting to see the actual designs themselves before crying out judgment.
