Jackson said he relied heavily on computer artistry for the Orcs and goblins, in particular.
“Prosthetic makeup is always frustrating,” Jackson said. “At the end of the day, if you want the character to talk, which a lot of the Orcs and goblins do, you can design the most incredible prosthetics, but you’ve still got eyes where the eyes have to be and the mouth where the mouth has to be. That human triangle, two eyes and a mouth, is very difficult to disguise, no matter what you do with the ears and heads and chins and noses.
He continued: “One of the things we’re doing on ‘The Hobbit’ — which is definitely technology that we have available now that we didn’t have 10 years ago — we often shoot the Orcs as people in suits but they just have a leotard on their head with motion capture dots on it. A lot of the Orcs even though they’re played by performers, the makeup is going to be CG makeup, which allows me to put their eyes further apart. They can open their mouths and scream in a much more dynamic way than they ever could.”
Kár, hogy mint az egyik vetástól megtudtuk: csak kb. 10 év múlva tudunk élethû "embereket" csinálni, mert így Freeman fejét nézhetjük Holm "arca" helyett.
Ezzel a manussal nem bírok megbarátkozni, pedig õ a fõszereplõ. A fenébe.
