RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (2011) - WETA Visual Effects Featurette






This featurette is an in-depth look into the complex process of bringing the apes in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" to life, using the technology developed by WETA Digital, the visual effects company that worked on "Lord of the Rings", "King Kong" and "Avatar". The results are indeed breathtaking and this could possibly earn WETA another Oscar for their amazing visual effects.

CAPTAIN AMERICA (2011) - 'Behind the Shield' Featurette



The Featurette sets up the backstory of the character and gives us plenty of details about the concept and making of the Shield, Captain America's tool of inflicting justice on the bad guys. It's a bit annoying how Norton conceived their product placement in the featurette. The whole buy-me concept is completely wasted on me, though. I use Avira. "Captain America: The First Avenger" comes out on July 22, 2011.

GREEN LANTERN - 'The Oath, the Ring and the Lantern' Featurette

TRANSFORMERS 3 - Base Jumping Featurette



This is a very interesting featurette detailing how the base jumping soldiers scene was done. To my surprise, the actual jumping and gliding is live-action, done by actual people, only the backdrops and explosions are CGI. Credit goes to Michael Bay who has a real talent when it comes to staging impressive action scenes. With this last entry in the "Transformers" trilogy, he seems to be aiming far higher than before. The movie opens on June 29, 2011.
