Saw this over that The Movie Blog where I'm a daily lurker.
I think this is the first non-trailer clip where we actually get to see some general moment-to-moment animation of how the bots move.
I'm loving Bumblebee in the background trying to apparently tell Optimus to not speak. Maybe?
A few seconds of Jazz too.
The only thing is... and it is really apparent in Bumblebee... you can totally see the motion capture process in use here.
Bumblebee is adorable here!
Sam = height of Prime's foot?
This is the kind of thing that worries me... it's cute the way that Bumblebee understands the situation and his fellow Autobots don't; a level of depth hardly present in the original cartoon.
Then again, we've got Optimus 'every Sperm is sacred' Prime crushing stuff underfoot with nary a care. Seriously, am I supposed to believe he's that oblivious to stuff scaled to, oh, I dunno, about human height?
I know, I know. Sit back, enjoy the explosions, try not to notice that Michael Bay is all flash first and well-written plot second. (And if anyone here knows the ending... wow. Just wow. How long did thw writers have to rub their brain cells together to generate that particular gem?)
