Description:
Jedi Master Yoda leads the cast of 76 CG creatures, droids, and clone troopers as they join Anakin Skywalker, Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Wandu, Jango Fett, and Count Dooku in the most ambitious visual-effects film ever. Star Wars: Episode || “Attack of the Clones” features romance, action, adventure, and fun. The 2000 shots of Episode 11 feature 288 CG models, 118 practical models, 36 environ ments, and 69 minutes of animation. The digital world plays a key role in Attack of the Clones’ exotic and disparate worlds, including the ocean planet Kamino, the rock world Geonosis, and several locations already visited in the Star Wars Universe: the city-planet Coruscant, the desert planet Tatooine, and Naboo, a peaceful, idyllic paradise. The digital realm also fuels the speeder chase, the asteroid sequence, the execution arena, the epic battle, and Yoda in action. As a result, Episode Il fills the screen with breakthrough effects in every one of its five million frames.
