very cool!!!
I wonder how many were in there when they took it out?
im amazed we still haven't gotten a bluray release date yet
I was just remarking this the other day. I can see why movies these days don't have much making-of material. I was watching the 3hr making-of for Attack of the Clones on YouTube and when I got to the 2hr mark I realized something. It'd been all digital effects talk for the last half hour. And it's boring AF. I skipped ahead a half hour. Still more digital effects talk. Nobody wants to watch hours of guys in front of a screen clicking their mouse. Seriously, about an hour of the 3hr making-of doc is dedicated to digital effects. Maybe in 2002 when this stuff was more groundbreaking it was interesting, but today it's boring to watch. This is why practical effects are important. It gives actors something to respond to, and it gives the audience something to look at when they do behind the scenes promotional stuff. No doubt digital effects can be fascinating, but when they make up a third of your making-of video, it eventually becomes boring. That's the downside of CGI though. When you go back and look at how the movie was made, when there's too much CGI, it just becomes overwhelming for the viewer to watch the creation. Especially when it's an hour of nothing but the same discussions and same images being focused on. Watching two people interacting in front of a green screen for an hour isn't my idea of a making-of.I used to really love 'making of' videos, but now that it's all just showing layer after layer after layer of CGI, it just doesn't really excite me anymore.

Actually, we are the only people they make "Behind the Scenes" featurettes for because the vast majority of people don't care how a movie gets made. I've lost track of the number of people who have told me over the years, "Oh, I never watch that stuff. I just want to watch the movie." :rolleyes...They make the behind the scenes material for people who are, quite frankly, not us...
