this article is titled, "No Place Like Oz."this about the recent movie The Great and Powerful Oz. they pull back the curtain a little bit to learn about a few of the vfx secrets. this film had the 3rd biggest opening of a movie in march to date. its about the wizards story in the classic movie, The Wizard Of Oz. adding some new digital characters to the story as well and polish Oz for a stereoscopic 3D inspection from todays jaded audiences. the supervisor, Scott Stokdyk says he grew up in kansas himself and always felt a special connection with the movie. the crafting of this movie and the new characters were not easy. the overall look was based on drawings by production artist Michael Kitsche (also helped with alice and wonderland and John Carter).
i saw this movie just a while ago. it was such a good movie. i was really impressed with all the animation and how it all turned out. i thought it would be kind of cheesy and a kids movie so to speak, but it turned out to be really good and worth seeing.
