One of the “bloggers” at Examiner recently posted a very interesting article about the CGI in “New Moon”. The article is focused mainly on the scenes in which Bella, in the movie adaption, will see an illusion of Edward when riding a dirt bike.
In this situation, Bella’s scene was shot weeks earlier and now Edward must be placed into the scene seamlessly. This means Mr. Pattinson must be in the perfect position, with the exact same lighting and the exact same camera angle as was used with Ms. Stewart. Every mathematical equation is used and computer controlled cameras are used to ensure that is exactly what happens.Then the Visual Effects Department must marry the two (the two shots, not the two characters) into perfect alignment, erasing the entire green screen and placing Edward in Bella’s arms. To match this shot will take about 15 days of hard work from both cast and crew and, in the final film, will only have about 5 minutes of screen time.

Not to stray from the body of this article, but has anyone else heard that they replaced Victoria in the third film? The Insider broke the story, I am still not sure what happened, although Ron Howard's daughter is the replacement...$$$? Does anyone else think this is just so wrong, it's kind of like replacing Rob or Kristen at this point in the films. What a stupid idea...?
