I'm really late to post this so nobody will read it probably, but Weta Workshop (who did the CGI) know some of it looks bad in The Desolation of Smaug.

My boyfriend knows quite a few people who work at Weta (New Zealand is a small country and he's in the Visual Effects industry) and the last few scenes in the battle with Smaug they were really pushed with time to finish.

Peter Jackson kept making last minute changes, and they know the scenes with the gold look like video game graphics.

I found all this really interesting, haha, and it is definitely noticeable. I do think that there's an overload of CGI in movies these days though.

Wasn't Jackson still editing Return of the king like less than a day before it actually premiered?

I'm not a LOTR fan, but I don't doubt it, haha

They were still rendering the gold scenes the day before the premiere on TDOS @_@

Yeah. People in WETA (I can't remember names) have publically said that they weren't happy with how some of the effects shots of the Eye of Sauron looking over the plains of Mordor (apparently it looks like a search light?), but they were so rushed that they didn't have time to perfect it.

But that's nothing to Jackson filming a few shots for ROTK after he won the Oscar for it (skulls for the Paths of the Dead sequence in the extended edition).

That's interesting. It does look exactly like a search light, and it looks...not bad exactly, but a bit off. Like it's a machine and not something alive.

I know what you mean by that, though I think it's not the search-light effect that does it, but the way it moves. It's too fast and when it moves about too jerky. It needed to be smoother.

Aw, that's sad. :( I know that when I saw the movies I thought... Weta Workshop is way better than this. The same people who took the time to practically build Edoras and all the furnishings can't be happy with the end result. I also kept hearing how pushed for time they were and I feel bad for them because they're clearly people who love and care about their work.
