The Oncoming Storm

That's crazy that the night I take a peek back here, there's a thread with me in it on the first page. lol thread necro
But ugh, I don't think a live-action Gundam movie can ever be done right, unless there was a SERIOUS amount of money pumped into it and if it was penned by Jesus Christ himself. |

Michael Bay could pull it off, but it'd probably be a bad movie =P. If this comes to fruition, it needs to remain a trilogy of movies, not a single one. The OYW really can't be condensed into two hours without missing a whole ton of crap.
So, casting for Amuro and Char...??? I'd want them to at least try to get the ethnicities right, not like in Dragon Ball Z, where they have Caucasians cast as Saiyans (yeah, and Goku was supposed to not have realized that his Chinese grandpa wasn't his real grandpa? :O). |

I don't think even Michael Bay can pull it off. Gundams are more complicated in every single way more than tranformers. If it follows similiar to CG approach, lets hope the graphics pixels are good such as Advent of Children.
Another thing is they need extremely well talented artist designing gundams before to pull this feat off. |

Have you ever seen transformers before. No matter the design, it is ususally very simple how they design the body to the vechicle. To gundams, they have to based it off of the design and series, which is all over the place depending on which one. Even for the basic design, they either have to rely on CG replacement used in transformers.
Gundams are a difficult because of the design they are derive from. Transformers, even the hardest faces are nothing to gundams in terms of facially with the depth put in. |

Yes, well, this was a conscious decision made by Michael Bay, or whoever chose the designs. He said he wanted Megatron and the other Decepticons to have a specifically more alien feel. This is an aesthetic choice though, and not a technical limitation. |

Megatron was the only one I personally think they nailed, but they should have Michael Kane to the VA instead. I remember a lot of the beast war VA are quite good at sounding like transformers even Prime.
Oh, Starscream, they messed everything up for him, I seen him transform in the series, it looks a lot faster and cooler. Colorscheme actually can change the transformer, there are differences with red, blue and so on, for it can be like thundercracker. Gundams have to worry about hands. |

[QUOTE=Papaya;1292942]Well I mean, it's not like Gundams haven't been modeled in 3D before. They just haven't been done in high enough detail to appear alongside real world footage and appear realistic. I don't see where there's any actual limitation in incorporating mobile suits in a live action film. I doubt they'd give the RX-78 a completely different look, if that's what you mean.
I seen shows like Kamen rider and Sentai, they come as close to live action that could accomplish it in 3D. If they based it on Megazords, it would be more possible through that method, since all the live action scenes seems more intergated. Designs of most megazords do share a uncanny familiarity to gundams excluding the alt mode it should work. Even with that knowledge, it would be plan hard still and this isn't going into grunts and other gundams yet. |

More complicated? The Transformers (from the 2007 movie) are much more complicated then Gundams in EVERY way. Optimus prime's head is build out of 1000 individual parts...I'm a designer myself And believe me, I can build you 10 extremely detailed Gundams with less then 1000 parts. If the director decides to keep the original designs then it would be the animators wet dream First of all, they won't have to redesign anything (which is a terribly long process) all they have to do is model the Gundams and that's it. But I'm pretty sure most of the Hollywood directors would prefer to redesign the Gundams...But it also depend on which Gundam series we're talking about. If it's one the first series from the 80's then a lot of things will be redesigned.(Not just the Gundams btw), But if it's something like seed, then they might keep the original design and do some additional design..But I dont know..It really depends on the producers and the director and how they want to bring it to the big screen..
