Description: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and TMNT: Out of the Shadows are the first two films in a supposed three-film reboot. The first film was criticized for being dull and boring, lacking both imagination and fun, but it didn't do too badly at the box office. In the second film, they attempted to correct these errors and the film received better reviews but had a worse box office reception and so the third film was canceled. So if the second film was better why did it do so badly? Like the music in this video?

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were created in 1984 by two comic book artists who were just having fun and trying to make each other laugh, they took their enthusiasm and their fun idea and developed it into a comic book. The excitement they put into the project could be felt in the comic book itself and readers also became enthused. When the first film was released in 1990, the excitement felt by all the crew and production team involved was also apparent, and even though the turtles just looked like men in suits with mechanical, animatronic heads, people were excited to see them. This "excited" energy is what the reboot films are missing, some people say that the reason for this lack of excitement is because they went from using practical effects to using digital effects and that digital effects lack "the soul" that practical effects have, and while we don't think this is the reason the films didn't do well, there may be a vein of truth in this.. Mechanical things have a certain something that Electronic things don't. An analog wristwatch versus a digital one, a Steam train versus an Electric train, or an old dial radio against a digital tuner, the mechanical versions give us a warm intriguing feeling whilst their digital counterparts leave us cold. This feeling isn't a lack of soul but rather a lack of understanding, with something mechanical it's easier to imagine the workings, we can assume one thing physically turns another which pushes something else and achieves a result. With digital, you push something and achieve a result, but the mechanics are invisible and kind of mysterious and so it's harder to picture and the mechanics feel more fanciful and less real. However, once you begin to understand how digital things work, you begin to appreciate them more and then you realize that the digital versions aren't that different to their mechanical versions. This also translates to special effects, the digital effects used in the reboot films are actually surprisingly similar to the practical effects used back in 1990, and the teams responsible for the VFX in the reboot films were just as excited and enthusiastic as the teams who worked on the originals. Suits. In the 1990 film, actors were put into latex suits that were made by Jim Henson Creature Shop, there were two versions, one with an animatronic head that made the suit 60lbs heavier and another for action scenes that had no animatronics a was therefore lighter. These suits had to be repaired every day because they got damaged whilst filming and because the actors would get incredibly hot inside them and their sweat would also damage the suit. In the Reboot films, ILM also put the actors into specially made suits, IMOCAP suits, these suits were breathable, lightweight, and didn't have to be repaired constantly. Whereas in the 90s film, the actor's movements in the physical suit were captured in principal photography, in the reboot films, the actor's movements were captured and a digital suit was added in post. The Head. The animatronic head in the original films was actually controlled by an off-camera puppeteer who also did the voice. The suit itself had a receiver, a battery pack, and a computer hidden in the shell, these connected to the animatronic head that had mechanics and servos to move different areas of the face and two speakers, one to hear the puppeteer and another to hear everyone else. The puppeteer has 9 different controls on his left joystick and 6 on the right. Full Animatronic. Splinter, from the original film, wasn't a guy in a suit, he was a full animatronic puppet controlled by three different puppeteers, one controlled the arm movements, one to control head movements, and one controlled all the facial movements. So if the effects teams were enthusiastic about the project why do the films seem dull? let us know, in the comments! Read more here: famefocus.com Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/focusfame
