A wallpaper from the scifi.com site advertising the big Dune TV series recently made.

I guess the question is pretty obvious; Spooged?

Spooge was doing some Dune sketches a while back and that definitely looks in-the-style-of. Great pic reguardless.

(http://www.scifi.com/freezone/wallpapers/dune_wall2.jpg is another one, although the style isn't so clear - looks like a production image perhaps)

Looks rendered to me, then photoshop-ed with blur layers to give it that haze feeling... you can clearly see the vertical motion blur in the pic.

[General Confusion]

I watched the show

And I believe that is actually an extracted CGI scene. I think Frost is right, an effect was just done to the frame.

I saw the trailer for that show, to sad they didn't do a full movie out of it. Dune is such a great movie and idea, the effects in the serie looked very nice. Should've just putten more money into it and made a full-length movie. I would love to see a good remake of the original movie.

btw, I think that picure is rendered with a duplicated layer with vertical motion blurr on top. But, could be worng though ?!?

It's a frame from the show eh? Oh well, I guess whoever did the photoshop work on it was probably taking inspiration from a portion of the Spooge portfolio.

Joa; the TV series is actually a lot longer than it would be as a film. I think the problem a lot of people had with the original movie was that it tried too cram a large story into a little amount of movie time, so the Tele-Movie approach seems like a good way to approach it.

I'm looking forward to seeing it here.

I agree, but you'd be surprised sometimes.

Sum: hey - you're right - looks very spooge to me too. Treatment of the light and especially in the details, that are placed in the typical spooge looseness I admire so much ...

kardis: yer talkin a buncha poopie!

ACTUALY SHOW IS.... the MOVIE ...
the reason they cut it up in SHOWS is cause of AIR time .. but then IT's ONLY 3 Days of AIR... and you can get on DVD the full movie ..

already got it...

[Anthony J]

I missed Dune on tv...does anybody have it taped ...perhaps a .mpg .avi .asf file ?

I really wanted to see it

Anthony J Don't bother. The Sci-Fi movie rendition wasn't very good at all. Bad sets, bad acting, bad effects, but a good story (only because it followed closely to the book).

[Anthony J]

i heard it was the most watched tv show or something, guess not eh?

i still wish i could have seen some of the effects...

Oh, like the other movie was good? Talk about horrible editing. That's what you get when you take a 2000 page book and make a movie.
I'm pretty sure it got Siskel and Ebert's worst movie of all time rating. That means it beat Plan 9 from Outer Space, quite a feat.

The TV show was alright. It was kinda neat to see another take on it. The only thing that bothered me were the obvious sound stages and painted backdrops. Not even matte paintings, they were painted walls

but other than that I was entertained. Paul's lover Chani was pretty damn good-lookin'

Maybe I'll do a Dune painting

The world is a BIG place. We're only seeing a small portion of artist on this forum.. a very small one.

Yeah, that's a nice pic Sumaleth, there are a couple of others on sci-fi.com as well, but that's one of the nicest. It does, however, have a kinda motion blur filtered feel to it.

I missed the DUNE mini series but hopefully it will appear on DVD or something, and even then I think I'd rather borrow it from someone, as I hear some rather mixed reviews for it.

Did anyone ever read the DUNE comic by DC? It was commisioned along with the David Lynch DUNE movie. I was lent a copy by a rather zealous science teacher who apparently had a large scale model of of a spice harvester at home. He used to keep a TIE fighter in the classroom... seriously.

Greetings,

I feel I have to share this with you :-)

Dune the movie featured a small part from the series of books, which is the main thing, yet the movie still felt "crammed" in those (roughly) 2 hours. I never saw the series...

The dune universe has a few spiffy features, I especially liked the short gaze into the future effect (if one might call it that) of the spice which was required so people could navigate spaceships :-) Living longer was also a plus...

About the picture, I haven't seen the original frames so... it looks to me like the guy responsible might actually go over with a brush a little and then filter and maybe some filter more etc...

regards,
voyager7

hey Hey HEY! the first dune movie was the best, though I liked the alan smithee version more, but there was a LOT of imagry they were able to portray in the movie that really captured emotions and moods from CHAPTERS in the book. Kudos the the original movie. The new one was good in it's own repects, and you have to give them some credit, They probably couldn't get patrick stewart to come back as gurney, ah that would have been spremely cool....ah well
