Computerized backdrops ???

I did stand-in work on this...the film was completely computerized..phantoms or not.




Lois:You know,Im not wearing panties

Peter:Thats okay, we can always throw that chair out

There were SO many of the backgrounds that were digital! Most of the first half of the movie! Outside the hospital, the street, the cabin. Those are only naming a few.

You can tell because the real elements (the person and sometimes a table or a lamp) stand out prominently. Usually you can see lines where the real ends and the greenscreen begins. I don't know that I've seen a film ever do this part perfectly, but this one wasn't trying at ALL!

Also, sometimes the actors' movements don't seem quite fluent. Sometimes the actors' image seems to "lag" for a moment. I seem to remember this happening at the begining of the film somewhere, when the woman was walking down the street at night. She turned quickly and it was like her face stayed frozen for a moment. Though this becomes more of a notable problem with the aforementioned lines when the real element contrasts with the nonreal. Much more noticable in movement. Especially when done as carelessly as Pulse 2 put them together.

I kinda liked the story by the end, and am even looking forward to checking out Pulse 3. But I HOPE the effects are done at least 10X better the next time around. And that's talking minimal!
