Iggy Pop and David Bowie? Legends in their time! Gollum? Crap to the Iggy Pop thing! (And I do know who they used, and he's kinda cute!)

Before I answer the Gollum question... I'd like to accept the Grecian Chemist Award and I need to thank my Chemistry teacher from 30 years ago for mentioning something about Magnesia, Greece when teaching us about Mg+. All the rest of the stuff I said was "detailed bull schlocky" just like Twiggy said...LOL!! Now for the Gollum question...Me's really, REALLY does know this one for sure....trust me's. It's AbbyCRAP. ...just playin' with you Abby!

As someone who has seen Iggy Pop, I'll say fact on the body. But it's crap on the movement part since they had an actor in a digital capture suit do that.

It's a fact Jack, I mean Iggy. This Iggy guy even sued them trying to get more money out of them. Not sure if he won or not, but I remember a law suit when the movie first came out.

I think it's fact. I also think they made improvements on Iggy's appearance and moves.

OK. Jagger, dagnabit, had me second guessing myself. So...
Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | I thought I'd seen the guy that Gollum was modeled after on some talk show or other. So, I wikipedia'd it and came up with: "In the Peter Jackson film trilogy, Gollum is a CGI creature voiced by actor Andy Serkis, who also provided the voices of some of the Nazgūl and Orcs. ... The groundbreaking CGI character was built around Serkis's voice and acting choices. Using a sophisticated digital puppet created by Jason Schliefer and Bay Raitt at Weta Digital, animators created Gollum's performance using a mixture of motion capture data recorded from Andy Serkis and a process called Keyframing. ..." Whew! Glad I actually CAN remember sh*t! <wink> |

Hope you FoCers are having a terrific Tuesday! As for me, I finally got my new computer set up (except for some final FTP settings) and actually got a chance to wash my car today. WHee! Yesterday's question was. . . Did computer animators use the movements and body of rock star Iggy Pop as a basis for the Gollum character in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings? Some interesting answers out there. Not everyone knew who Iggy Pop is and not everyone had seen the movies. For comparison sake, here's Iggy and Gollum side by side:
Notice any resemblance? Well, anyway, here's how you all weighed in on the question: And here's what the Calendar Crew has to say: It's FACT! "According to the 'Two Towers' DVD, animators and designers studied Iggy Pop concert footage when they were creating the character of Gollum. Iggy, who was once referred to as "Mr. Pop" by 'The New York Times,' was originally named James Newel Osterberg and is considered to be the father of punk. His stage shows are notorious for his bare-chested, feral antics." Now, I know some of you found other "facts" about this on the web, but I'm just going with what the Calendar Crew dredges up. I have the DVD of The Two Towers, so I might just have to check this out for myself. Anyway. . . move along now, nothing to see here! Here's the question for today, Tuesday, February 7, 2006:
The director of the observatory at Amherst College once convinced the U.S. Armed Services to listen for Martian radio communications. FACT or CRAP? You decide!
