By the way Beowolf looks very cool, that's the same guy from 300, isn't it? Nope. It's from, of all people, Robert Zawekis, who gave us the god-awful Polar Express. He's clearly learned a few things in the interim. Further, Beowolf is all CG, which makes it all the more remarkable, while 300, as wonderful visually as it was, was actors in front a greenscreen. >> have you ever seen the specs for Blu-Ray, ATSC, or even the oh-so-balyhooed 1080p (let alone NTSC or PAL)? I mean, we're talking pretty lo-rez here - damned low-resolution To which I reply: so what? The eye can only take in so much information, so what's the point of a head map that's 15,000 pixels to a side when one that's 3,000 does the same job more efficiently and just as well? The whole resolution thing, when it comes to animation anyway, is a bit of a canard. And let's not forget that Beowolf was designed for theatrical wide screen -- I suspect that the resolution was a tad better than your easy dismissal. The images, after all, are being seen some twenty to thirty feet high, and every little pock and blemish will show.
