Hobitti eli sinne ja takaisin

HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY (NZ+’12): Okay, this will take more than one tweet.

.@AkiJorgensen Truth be told I didn’t hate it. It’s more of the same, really. #hobbit

Peter Jackson is still of the more-is-more school of thought. Show, don’t tell turns into show *and* tell. #hobbit

@osulop ”…more SWep3 than Tintin.” In this comparison, which do you see as more blatant-cgi/cartoony/dated/etc?

.@AkiJorgensen All are gloriously OTT, but I prefer the Spielbergian approach with a clear through line of thought in every shot #hobbit

The Massive mountain battle looks more SWep3 than Tintin. Gandalf’s POV shot made me titter a bit. #hobbit

Dwarven make-up doesn’t really enhance subtle acting. #hobbit

Martin Freeman does his awkward English thing, which I quite enjoyed. #hobbit

There’s definitely a tonal mismatch between the gritty beheading (two by my count) and the fairytale humour. #hobbit

I quite dislike the retconning what with Saruman acting all fishy and such. #hobbit

Facial animation is more expressive, sometimes maybe even more expressive than the human actors. Funny contrast. #hobbit

3D HFR looks like video, especially in closeups. Wide shots aren’t as bad. And why use shallow DOF with stereo imaging? #hobbit

@osulop: ”…And why use shallow DOF with stereo imaging? #hobbit” – Because Peter Jackson ain’t no Wim Wenders. #booyah #oldschoolphotography

.@mondostic Actually my guess is that it’s an (unhappy) byproduct of shooting with a 2D release in mind. #hobbit

#Hobbit and 3D HFR: huge cavernous spaces benefit from it (I think), but melee scenes with a free-floating camera and loads of people don’t.

@osulop What are the odds to get a headache? Hating the TrueMotion effect, should I try 48fps?

@osulop @kallekinnunen Did your eyes adjust to the refresh rate quickly? How irritating it was?

@Sahhmi @kallekinnunen Close-ups with fast movement look wrong no matter how long you stare at them. IM(H)O. #hobbit

.@Sahhmi It does look butt-ugly at times, but that’s them breaks. Subtitles (bright & narrow) create nasty reflections. #hobbit

Re: 3D – yes, the audience gets poked in the eye with an arrow or two, but most of the time it isn’t gratuitous. #hobbit

One more spoiler for #Hobbit – the hedgehog survives.
