Transformers Oscar VFX Reel. Why No Oscar Wins?

Checkout this special effects reel that was posted on Michael Bay’s website. The video below features scenes from Trasformers, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen and Transformers: Dark Moon. There is no denying the amount of impressive work that went into the details of these robotic organisms.

The VFX team included Scott Farrar, Scott Benza, Matthew Butler and John Frazier. Nominated for Best Achievement In Visual Effects for the 2007 Academy awards, the team suffered a surprising lost.

At the 2010 Oscars, Revenge Of The Fallen was only nominated for Best Achievement in Sound Mixing – (and lost), and at the most recent academy awards, for Best Achievement in sound editing, sound mixing and, of course, visual effects…. where it lost yet again.

The Academy may not like the transforming robotic creatures, but the fans showed their love for the franchise with their hard cash. The three Transformers movies combined for a staggering $1,073,748,606 billion worldwide!

Universal has confirmed along with Bay that there will be a 4th addition to the Transformers franchise, and Bay is teaming up with Steven Spielberg to create this fourth installment.

” We have been working on the idea for a few months. I’m excited about where it’s headed. But first I’m doing a small $20 million dollar edgy black comedy of a true crime story set in Miami called “Pain and Gain“, starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, and very close to signing on a couple other great actors. I’m extremely excited to simplify my film career this spring with a great character piece.” Bay announced on his site Michaelbay.com 

Check back for more updates on the 4th installment to the Transformers franchise.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
