300 expands filmmaking palette

VFXWorld on the stylized world of 300.

“Oscar-winning vfx supervisor Rob Legato (Titanic), currently spearheading the virtual cinematography system and pipeline on James Cameron’s all-CG/3-D Avatar, says the film expands the palette of filmmaking. “It’s not photoreal or cartoon or CG totally; it’s sort of a hybrid in between so it becomes a stylization that might be appropriate for some subject matter,” he suggests. “It won’t replace anything: it’ll just create yet another style to create a movie in.”
