Today I would like to talk about some problems that can occur when using the programs I have been discussing over the past couple of weeks. One of the most prominent, is making sure the programs will work well together. In Tron, for example, more then one company was used, and the makers of the film were forced to make the proper adjustments so the film would be well received. They did an excellent job, and viewers in general remained clueless about how much work went into what they were watching. This is just one example in a long list of films that had this problem, another example being the 1997 film Titanic. For an interesting article on this film, click here. I would say that making sure everything would look good together is probably the biggest problem in the industry at this point in time. However, there certainly are others. Another big one is that computers are being radically improved every 18-24 months according to one source, and at that rate, it is nearly impossible to work on a film over an extended period of time without being bombarded by new hardware and software. It must be very difficult to begin post production on a film or begin working on a computer animated film and have new versions of what you are already working on come out. What do companies do? Do they switch over despite the differences? Or do they continue working with what they have and use the new stuff on the next project? Questions for tomorrow perhaps.
