Teaser photos used for TEASING (don’t reveal too much) … to wet the appetite.
However, as the 5th Voyage premier date gets closer, perhaps, periodically releasing ‘Teaser Photos’ might be good marketing to keep 5th Voyage in the public consciousness.
I wish there were more but I can possibly understand the producer’s thinking, following the “Do not Blow your WAD too early” strategy. The only 5th Voyage teaser released, was back around July 2010. Cinema micro-history lesson: In USA, the mainstream movie industry has usually rejected stop motion animation effects methods … even in Ray Harryhausen’s day, he had difficulty selling it to the ‘Suits’. It is an homage to Ray Harryhausen’s Dynamation features of the past. If some of you are not aware of it yet, Sinbad – The 5th Voyage will be employing classic Stop Motion Animation Special Effects but using much more modern advanced techniques. Any negative criticisms you keyboard-spew in your blogs about 5th Voyage will only help in its viral marketing. I cannot help these myopic mentally lost souls who are CGI brainwashed as they cannot appreciate other styles of visual aesthetics … so SCREW YOU. I know the CGI addicted drones will do comparisons of 5th Voyage to the CGI special effects mega budgeted features. It’s like comparing Apples (CGI) to Oranges (stop mo, classic Fx) … they are DIFFERENT. … okay, continuing with my little tirade … my observations … you cannot compare Sinbad – The 5th Voyage to ANY of today’s over saturated CGI special effects movie products. Oh, before I forget, here is the just released 5th Voyage teaser photo …. Today’s mainstream movies: Obscene production budget excess does not necessarily equal Good Movies. Ray Harryhausen’s classics, when originally released many years ago, were also mostly low budget features. The Special Effects contributors to Sinbad – The 5th Voyage, are very much, skilled and talented artisans & technicians, creating high caliber quality work. It is an independent low budget production however that does not diminish it whatsoever. This feature has been in the works for some time.
