Major speculation ahead, but a Star Wars fansite is claiming that this GIF of the Millennium Falcon might be the first-ever bit of footage from the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens. What do you think?

Cool whatever it is ! So excited for this movie
ReplyDeleteWell it does have lens flares and we all know how much JJ LOVES those...
ReplyDeleteLOL. Came here to say this. Was not disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say fake but then i read an articles which describes what will happen in the teaser trailer which was released BEFORE this gif came out which mentions the falcon coming towards the camera firing
ReplyDeleteFake. despite the homage to the lens flare, Bad Robot/Disney will have way better production than this!
ReplyDeleteI think is fake, but my fan heart say is real, so I will follow my heart hahahahahaha.........I kidding :)
ReplyDeleteSo is this the first Star Wars film to have an overabundance of lens flares?
ReplyDelete"Bad Robot/Disney will have way better production than this!"
ReplyDelete*chuckles*
I feel the lens flare despite rather copious, is well done and used.
ReplyDeleteThat Millennium Falcon looks more like it is made out of LEGO.
ReplyDeleteI personally find the lens flare to be an interesting motif that perhaps reminds the audience that they are "outside looking in" onto this experience--they're partaking in witnessing these events. I particularly liked it on Fringe, the first Star Trek, and in Super 8. I'm not saying that sometimes it isn't over done, but I like the idea of it none the less.
ReplyDeleteSome scenes are being shot in IMAX. I would expect it to be either a flying vehicle battle scene, or some kind of on ground sequence/chase/fight scene....
ReplyDeleteAnd an overabundance of lens flares. That's what makes up the most complaints.
ReplyDeleteLens flares takes you out of the movie. It's totally unnecessary. Everytime I was enjoying a good moment from Star Trek or Super 8, the lens flares just gets me off guard where I stop paying attention to the actual scene. Then Michael Bay and Zack Snyder used them in Transformers and Man of Steel. It's a growing use that doesn't need to be used at all because whatever kind of idea the lens flares is for, it's not needed. They're even used in video games now.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that was your expedience with it. It does the opposite for me, in the sense that taking one out reminds one that the one is a separate entity and a realization how "connected" the one and the film have become.
ReplyDeleteThat "connection" has never gone through my head whenever I see lens flares.
