Viral Video: Motion Capture Magic in Jackson and Spielberg Movie “Tintin”

May 19, 2011 at 12:54 am PT

It will be interesting to see how moviegoers will react to the motion capture technology in this movie–”The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn”–being produced by film legends Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson.

It uses the same special effects as Jackson’s Gollum in “Lord of the Rings,” which you can glimpse at the very end of the clip of the movie, which Spielberg is directing.

Enjoy:

Can’t wait to see Tintin in 3D! I hope the also did the Mulinsar castle. Like LOTR, previous attempts have all failed.

It looks “magnifique !”. I am a huge Tintin fan and I have been waiting more than 25 years for this movie (Spielberg bought the rights a first time in early 80′s and then quit the project).
The final result might meet my expectations (and the ones of Tintin fans all over the world). The joke with the “moustaches” of the Thom(p)son twins shows that Steven Spielberg is very respectful of Hergé’s sense of humour.
