THE HOBBIT - THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG: Eric Saindon - VFX Supervisor - Weta Digital - The Art of VFX

Last year, Eric Saindon had told us in detail about his work for THE HOBBIT - AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY. Now, he's back for the second episode of HOBBIT.

Therefore his rating should be “at least 8-A, likely higher, up to 7-C with fire breath”

That seems fine to me at least.

 

[AyOgUyS]

Agree, this is among the most straightforward things ever

 

[Antvasima]

Yes. It seems uncontroversial.

 

[Random-Helper323]

Yes. Doesn’t affect novel scaling

 

[Random-Helper323]

Yes. Doesn’t affect novel scaling

In that case it should be uncomplicated.

Yes, but unfortunately this is only with fire breath.

Seems like enough staff agree, guess we’ve just got to wait 48 hours now.

Ant counts, I don't.

 

[1000TonsofFun]

Ant counts, I don't.

Ok. I will contact some staff then.

I’ve contacted some other staff members just to be safe

Okay. That is good then.

 

[1000TonsofFun]
