Talk:Go motion

There's a little confusion between motion blur and go motion. Shaking the camera or the table creates motion blur, but go motion involves mechanically operated rod puppets filmed against bluescreen and then rotoscoped - way beyond Wallace and Gromit! I've rearranged the article so the two are not mixed up. Scott197827 05/02/2006

Stop Motion Category

There's an entire stop motion animation category on Wikipedia, and somehow, this entry isn't included. It obviously should be included, as go motion is definitely a stop motion technique. Also, Ray Harryhausen is 86 today. :-) --Dh100 21:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Ladislas Starevich...

...did something quite similar, way back in the 1920s and 1930s. Esn 08:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

References?

This was covered in a 1986 book (ISBN: 0862871425) published by ILM. Can print books be used as references in Wikipedia?

Who ever is trying to use it here obviously did not read it carefully. I quote: "But when 'The Empire Strikes Back' was being filmed in 1978 to 1980, Go-Motion was still a thing of the future." (p.85) The things they did during the Stop-Motion shots for Episode V were obviously not considered "Go-Motion" by the ILM people. Also, if you compare it to the efforts they made for "Dragonslayer" you can see that this was in fact the real deal in Go-Motion for the first time.

Jurassic Park

The following is a copy of a message I've posted on the Jurassic Park talk page.

The section in this article states that no Go motion sequences made it into the final cut. However, the source given isn't accessible to me. Can someone confirm this? I only ask because the Go motion page specifically contradicts this by stating Go Motion was used in the film. From memory, I think this article is correct, and the Go motion one is wrong, but I just want to be sure.

It'd be appreciated if any replied could be posted on the Jurassic Park discussion, rather than here, to help streamline any conversation. Thanks. drewmunn talk 18:17, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Hook (1991)

According to this blog, Tinker Bell's wings were also animated using go motion: "VFX supe Eric Brevig oversaw a raft of flying scenes, matte paintings, models and even Go-Motion animation for Tinkerbell’s wings". Link: But considering that blogs are not considered a reliable source, it would be useful if someone could provide a real article or something that can be used as a source, so the information can be added to the Wikipedia article. 92.221.102.96 (talk) 17:06, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
