CGI Made The Star Wars Prequels An Incredible Test For Their Actors
George Lucas has always been on the cut bound of special effects ; when he rejoin toStar Warsin the ' 90s , it was part because he believed engineering had ( almost ) catch up with his imagination . That meant he used a lot of computer - generated imagery ( CGI ) when filming theStar Warsprequel trilogy . As McGregor remembers , this became a challenge for the actors . One major problem is that actor can not actually see the things they are interacting with . This can make interact with the set difficult , asa passel of it relies on theater of the mind .
The job was particularly severe back during theStar Warsprequel trilogy . The engineering was fresher and new , meaning few actor were used to it . They struggled to adjust - and , given McGregor ’s invoice , Lucas ' direction was n’t always especially helpful .
ModernStar Warshas moved beyond this , of course , withDisney using the Volume- the next step in CGI technology . The book allows actors to perform against a massive , curved light-emitting diode screen with a photorealistic backdrop projected on it . IfStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithwere film today , every actor would have known just where to await for those twinned Dominicus .
