Is Beowulf ALL CG??

Hey, ive got a money bet with a friend about Beowulf, that movie thats comin out. She says it was ALL done in CG and there are no scenes with real actors. I say that they used CG to enhance alot of the scenes but every now and then they just enhance some parts while leaving others real.

Is there any ACTUAL actors in the movie, or is it all CG on top of actors :? :?

It's entirely CG. No blended CG/real scenes.Harbadakus

Nooooo. Not only do i lose the bet, i also think thats lame. Why hire all the huge actors to cover them up? Plus it doesnt really look great as far as CG goes compared to what 300 looked like

The only thing CG in 300 was the background, which isnt hard, just alot of green screens.This on the other hand is all CG,and as far as CG movies go its looking pretty damn good. The reason for the actors is that theres no way to create a CG face from scratch and make it look as good and realistic as these do.

I meant, 300 WASNT CG and it looked better than this i think. They had some CG and real actors and i think it looks miles better than the Beowulf trailers

I didn't quite like the trailer, I thought the game trailer for Beowulf was more exciting since it had a God of War feeling.

But I don't dislike the fact that the movie will be all CGI, I'll judge after watching.

Sigh. Im saying 300 looked great, ill guess you agree by your name, so i dont expect you to argue but continue if you must. Im saying Beowulf using CG all the time doesnt look good. It doesnt look terrible, but not as good as 300. Remember; 300 used CG but not on very important organic things like people and expressions. Thus why i dont like Beowulf so far.

Sorry buddy, you lost the bet :(rohver

Bigtime :(. I was hoping to find maybe 1 un-CG'd scene. Poopies

these are 2 completely different purposes. 300 was exagerated, but founded in reality. therefore, it has a more realistic look. the directors and writers had said it is "history on steroids." beowulf is founded completely on fantasy. so it was not meant to look realistic. you are mixing up "good" with "realistic."

I wonder if you were the kid at Knotts Scary Farm's Beowulf maze who asked me if it was all CG or not...I tried to tell you then and there!

What I find funny is how the commercials try to show Beowulf giving a 300 type line with the "I am ripper, slasher, blah blah blah, I am Beowulf" The way he says that last line makes him sound like Cartman almost.

I remember having to read the book in high school. I was'nt much of a fan at the time, but seeing the trailers for the movie it looks pretty cool. I doubt its 100% CG animated , its probaly like 75%, lots of blue/green screen.

When I watch it im going to pretend its God of War instead so I'll be sure to enjoy it. Theres one part in the trailer where hes like " I AM BEOWULF!!" I couldnt help thinking about our Spartan friend hehe.

I see what you mean but i think your point is moot. Doing it all in CG is purely asthetic sure, but they didnt NEED to. It couldbe argued 300 was mostly fantasy anyway. I think 300 looks quite otherwordly as well, i mean, have you seen many movies like it? But they didnt need to have thier actors pasted over with CG to achieve it. Mixing the two in 300 looked great. Going all out in CG, while a statement to technology , just simply isnt as impressive.

300 was a based a real battle with real historical figures. the effects were there is stylize the action for contemporary audiences.

beowulf is based a people's perfect hero. since perfect is impossible. it had to look like fantasy.

again. its 2 completely different purposes.

I dont know 300 had one look throughout the whole movie well except for that wolf part at the begining but Beowulf seems to have a whole bunch of visual styles to it and i think thats very cool

It was over 1$ :)

Also, the men in 300 were real, and they looked every bit the macho over ripped He-Man stereotype
