there is a shot of a digital yoda in phantom menace...

may be many of you know this, but i am going to tell you:

the other day i buy episode I in DVD, i see it with the commentary, so, in the scene where yoda said to obi wan "your apprentice skywalker, will be" there is a digital yoda, because in other way the crew of yoda pupet will be on the shot, i never notice that. then i see the outtakes in the computer and i see a digital yoda in the scene of "there always two...", is a little shot, did that mean something?


tell me you...

 

What you say?

 

There's also a digital Yoda walking out of the ship that's takes him to Naboo.

 

As far as i know, the "digital" Yoda that is walking across the floor as he says "confer on you the council does" at the opening of the Yoda-Obi Wan scene is not a CGI yoda or anything but a re-comp'ed puppet. If you look at the photos from the shooting of the scene, the floor was cut away where Yoda would be walking, with a walkway for Frank Oz to walk alongside the puppet as he moved him forward; the floor was then filled-in in post production and it looks like Yoda is moving independently. That was as i understood it.

 

There is a long shot of Yoda walking in that "confer on you the level of Jedi Knight the council does..."
scene, but it's only from the back. The close ups were all puppet in the theatrical and DVD release, but I hear they are replacing the puppet with a digital Yoda at some point in the future, if they haven't done so already.

 

The shot of Yoda walking and saying he confers the level of Jedi Knight upon Obi-Wan is a completely digital Yoda. It is not a comp'd in puppet or anything.

 

I think there are three digital Yoda shots in TPM. One where he lands with the cruiser, one in that scene, and one in the funeral.

 

Check out the link in my sig. Mental looking Yoda is out of a job!
Edit : Don't bother, the links dead!

 

Yeah, this was the only CG Yoda shot in TPM, as far as i know. It was nowhere near the standard they reached with CG Yoda in AOTC and ROTS and IMO just highlighted further how rubbish the puppet yoda, in TPM, was! Hopefully TPM puppet will be replaced for the next DVD release of the film, which will hopefully be as part of a PT DVD Boxset, hopefully, released around Christmas!

 

I have never heard anything about a digital shot at the funeral.

Establishing shot of the funeral in production. Yoda is not there.

I've heard it somewhere, but I can't remember where...

 

the only one that i know of is when he's talking to obi wan at the end

 

The only CG Yoda that I've ever heard of in TPM was the one when he was talking to Obi-Wan near the end.

At the funeral scene, he could have simply been filmed separately and added in during post-production.

 

Does anyone here agree with me when i say i really dont like to see yoda fight...with all those flips and everything...it just isnt the say yoda...i would nt mind as much if he fought on the slowly
