So interesting to see how sometimes modern imagineering goes with "Oh well, close enough" on that rectangular screen instead of taking the time to dial in an effect or understand the final presentation of a color like red. I wonder what their motivation would have been for even using it? Was there any historical basis of London having red streetlights around an entire block?Fifthriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480975804451839176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-20367713218745953662015-07-23T18:42:13.759-07:002015-07-23T18:42:13.759-07:00The effect I think you're referring to that is...The effect I think you're referring to that is not pictured (the "Star Trek" looking thing) is the "second star to the right" which now appears to be simply an animation playing in a loop on a flat screen TV... problem is the stardust or whatever is coming off the star actually bleeds to the edge of the screen for some reason, clipping in a perfect rectangle around the star, revealing the trick. Can't believe it never occurred to them to keep the subject contained within the dimensions of the screen!Brother Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13176233134588988372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-40133365896228316822015-07-23T12:29:40.572-07:002015-07-23T12:29:40.572-07:00Based strictly on photography and reports (such as...Based strictly on photography and reports (such as yours), I have to agree that London is now too . . . the word I think we're looking for is GARISH. The brightness ironically makes the 2D nature of the city more obvious and therefore less convincing. You're also right about the red. The limited palette of the original worked much better, with greenish yellows, blues, and some pale oranges. Looked dreamier. Blood red has no place on such a palette.HBG2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05073387557562504315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-9127280712451875392015-07-22T11:22:34.785-07:002015-07-22T11:22:34.785-07:00P.S.

How is it that they can often be so close to getting something right, but then they go and miss perfection with something that obvious?<br /><br />- TokyoMagic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-64532895505598129042015-07-22T11:17:24.659-07:002015-07-22T11:17:24.659-07:00I haven't seen this in person yet.

I realize that the children now move up and down "in the air", but I'm assuming that Wendy no longer turns her head back and forth like she used to when she was sitting in the bed. Too bad they couldn't have kept that head movement with the new figures so they wouldn't come across so static.<br /><br />- TokyoMagic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-649902792688828532015-07-22T06:52:38.813-07:002015-07-22T06:52:38.813-07:00I agree with your assessment.
