I just got back from seeing it. I loved it. I think the most important thing, is that when the movie ended, I felt exactly like I did, when I read the last page of the book... which means the movie succeded, imo. The movie was pretty close and faithful to the book. Its been like 2 years since I read it, so its not fresh on my mind, to make different comparisons, but I don't think it really deviated. There were perhaps a few spots of dialoge that weren't convincing (keanu mostly). But it certainly didn't ruin the film. I think the rotoscoping effect worked perfectly for the film. It gave it that dream like quality that I had when reading the book. I knew as soon as I heard linklater was doing the film, and was using the effect, that this was THE movie to use it on, and it worked. The music was cool too. Nothing fancy, but cool. A few (unreleased?) radiohead songs on there (I think I counted 4 in the credits... one of which is a fourtet remix). So yeah, overall, I really liked it. I'd be interested to hear what other people have to say, when/if they see it. |

I've been waiting for this for years. A Scanner Darkly is my favorite book. Can't wait for it to hit the Paris cinemas. |

1: that's not rotoscoping. rotoscoping is a manual process. 2: I refuse to even watch this movie until someone makes it into a real movie without the worst crap ass silly fuck your ass off effects ever. |

It is a very annoying effect. Does it mean anything, other than hey-we-made-it-look-kind-of-like-an-animated- feature,-way-cool? |

rotoscoping is when you draw animations by first shooting something on film and then you project this film onto a screen with a cell where an animator draws on it.. this movie used a program where you draw certain frames and then you let the program fill in the in-betweens. |

does it really matter if its 'real' rotoscoping or not? i kind of like the effect but i also dont really see the point of it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it wouldn't matter if the computerized one could actually do what the manual one can, and maybe it can, but I bet that'd require someone to do each frame (in other words, it'd kind of be manual again) and not only the keyframes leaving the program to fill in the blanks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I don't know whether a purely manual product would be better-looking or not (which I doubt), but it's not like they just put a computer on the job and then sat back and watched! According to them, "for each one minute of animation, 500 hours of work was necessary". Like any painstaking animation, that is. I really enjoyed it in Waking Life (which couldn't have been made without it), and I can see why this particular plot, and PKD himself, would require a surreal and dream-like touch to it. |

everywhere I read about it, its been called rotoscoping. Sorry to so deeply offend you. |

Good to hear that the movie's not a disaster. I'm looking forward to seeing it. It was a terrific book. (please don't feed the troll) |

Thanks for pointing this out a long time ago. I remember you made a thread about it and since i saw the trailor i was sucked in. I love how rotoscoping was used in waking life (fav+ movie) and i thought that it looked ace. I didnt even know it was out already. This is truly good news. For some reason i thought i had to wait until next year. Thanks for the heads up :) |

Not trolling, but I'd just like to know if there's a deeper meaning to it, because it looks a little gimmicky to me. And more videogamey than dream-like. |

fanboi zeus instigated this discussion 4 months ago already anyway |

I think in a way it is a gimmick, but if it works in the context of the film then why not use it - Philip K Dick's novels are almost uniformly about one's sense of reality, and what is authentic or inauthentic about reality and the self - so this kind of not quite animation, not quite live action approach seems like a good match. |

I thought it was an excellent film. I came out of the cinema expecting everything to look rotoscoped. : ) |
