Seamus McGarvey was great with the cinematography in the Avengers, he isn't just good with the big sets he can also do the small intimate scenes as well. It also looks like they are using loads of practical sets and effects which makes everything feel more real.

 

Also seems like a lot of the film is going to be based on the ground from the characters perspective. I really enjoyed that in Cloverfield because you felt how big it was and you could see how much damage it was doing (by that I don't mean the shaky cam or found footage style). When the shots are all hundreds of feet in the air, you lose a sense of scale. The concept art above perfectly demonstrates this, Godzilla looks like something a nuke isn't going to stop.

Looks cool. I wonder if it that shot is going to be in the movie. 

A big sea battle would be interesting, it would be a scary.

 

Middle of the night, in a storm with hardly any light and a monster that can sink a ship with ease. The strongest part of earth's strongest army is now cowering in fear. The Generals on land get the news, America has been neutralized in minutes.

Description of SDCC Footage:

Like Cloverfield on steroids. First half shows intimate moments, lots of action, emotion of people running through a world. Then it starts on an action scene of another 4-legged giant monster terrorizing a city. All of a sudden you see Godzilla walking in. A helicopter gets swatted and blows up half of an airport, all of a sudden the foot of Godzilla sets down. And all of a sudden there's a big roar. Final shot is a big, huge Godzilla standing up above the other monster, dwarfing it and the roar. Sounds perfect. Chills.

More Description:

We?re introduced to characters first off: Cranston seems to be an engineer/investigator of some sort ? we see him in hazmat gear, and later running towards a crisis event in a government installation as the rest of the staff frantically runs away. Aaron Taylor Johnson is a soldier; Ken Watanabe is seen in a control room of some kind, and Olsen as mentioned above is shown in moments that suggest she?s been a victim of some disaster. A montage of various images shows a world in crisis and deploying military forces to fight some crisis moment.

And then there?s the kaiju attack. The first monster we see is a spindly-legged insectoid thing ? is this Mothra? Didn?t quite look like it, but that?s possible. The monster is attacking an airport, and there?s a great wide shot that sees the kaiju destroying a plane, which leads to an explosion the camera follows by panning across a huge set of windows, looking out from inside the airport terminal. Part of the plane?s destroyed fuselage flies right to left across the screen, and is eventually stopped as it crashes into a giant foot.

That?s the intro for Godzilla, and the creature dwarfs the other kaiju. Few shots really show Godzilla, but the scale is very effectively communicated by the relationship between the insectoid monster and our favorite lizard. The overall effect could be described ? and this isn?t a literal account of the footage, but an impression of its effect ? like a slow pan up from the faces of the various human characters stuck in the middle of a monster-created mess, passing a smaller beast and finally trying to focus on the father of it all, Godzilla, hidden in fire and smoke.

"Many reports have claimed that the plot for Legendary?s Godzilla film will revolve around the damage humans have caused to the earth?s environment. That being said if this peace of RUMOR turns out to be true it would make perfect sense. We call it a ?rumor? until it?s confirmed.

We just received a scoop that the main monster that Godzilla will battle in the reboot is Hedorah (???, Hedora) also known as The Smog Monster."

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
