Product Information

In this range, there were 24 minifigures released – two identical figures of the Mandalorian – so 23 distinct characters. (add 2 more from 75296 = 25 in total) As well as the plates, we also have a collection of sloped elements, going towards building up the conning tower, as well as the rear upper plating. Between the upper and lower plating, we set up some greeblling and front In today’s production workflow, the cinematographer comes in to prep the film and then shoots and then is sent away until the grading process — so much work with the image happens in post that we’re not a part of,” asserts Fraser. “This inverted production workflow of The Mandalorian keeps the cinematographer in the loop from the development of the image to the final image, which is often captured in-camera. Baz and I are there to shepherd the image through the whole process and this is so supremely important. Cinematographers work to design imagery every day, 12 hours a day, and we know how to look at an image and know immediately if its right or wrong. Visual effects artists have amazing skills, but they don’t always have the photographic experience to know what is right or wrong and a lot of times what we plan and photograph doesn’t get translated through post. With this kind of workflow we supervise every element of the shot and have a much closer partnership with visual effects to make sure that it works with what we and the director planned and executed on set. We get that final shot in camera and the result is pretty amazing.” There are some relatively new elements here, including the 3×3 curved quarter circle arch, whichmakes fro the front portion of the engines. The two outer engines are made using curved 8×4 simicircular panels. Panels are sloped over the rear of the ship, including the central engine. Transparent light blue radar dishes are attached to simulate the main engine jets. There is a little deviation from the source material here: there are 4 smaller engines between each of the main thrusters on screen. Not even including a hint of them feels a little thoughtless, but, on the other hand, gives you the opportunity to improve on the model with your own modifications. Bag 7 Bags 8&9 go towards building the lid of the bridge. Bag 9’s contents already appeared unwrapped with bag 6, however.

The production was looking to minimize the amount of green- and bluescreen photography and requirements of post compositing to improve the quality of the environment for the actors. The LED screen provides a convincing facsimile of a real set/location and avoids the green void that can be challenging for performers. This article is an expanded version of the story that appears in our February, 2020 print magazine. Visual effects supervisor Richard Bluff and executive creative director and head of ILM Rob Bredow showed Favreau a number of tests that ILM had conducted including the technology of the LED wall from Rogue One. Fraser suggested with the advancements in LED technology since Rogue One that this project could leverage new panels and push the envelope on real-time, in-camera visual effects. Favreau loved the concept and decided that was the production path to take. “I was very encouraged by my experiences using similar technology on Jungle Book and using virtual cameras on The Lion King. I had also experimented with a partial video wall for the pilot episode of The Orville.” Overall I give the Light Cruiser 3.5/5 Arbitrary praise units. The build experience was great, as is the minifigure selection. I also really enjoyed the microscale TIE Fighters. While there are some innacuracies with the actual craft, I probably feel most challenged by the final price, especially in Australia, where it seems that perhaps the pricing is now geared to big box retailers offering 10-20% on an almost weekly basis.

A majority of the shots were done completely in camera,” Favreau adds. “And in cases where we didn’t get to final pixel, the postproduction process was shortened significantly because we had already made creative choices based on what we had seen in front of us. Postproduction was mostly refining creative choices that we were not able to finalize on the set in a way that we deemed photo-real.”Each phase of photography — photogrammetry and scanning — needs to be done at various times during the day to capture different looks to the landscape. The Virtual Art Department starts their job creating 3-D virtual sets of each location to production designer Andrew Jones’ specifications and then the director and cinematographer can go into the virtual location with VR headsets and do a virtual scout. Digital actors, props and sets are added and can be moved about and coverage is chosen during the virtual scout. Then the cinematographer will follow the process as the virtual set gets further textured with photogrammetry elements and the sky domes are added. This Imperial Light Cruiser forms the base of operations for Moff Gideon during the second season of The Mandalorian. The minifigure selection in this set is based on that final confrontation between the Mandalorian and Moff Gideon, with several other supporting cast from the season also included.
