In my view, вЂњThe Spirits WithinвЂќ was sunk by an ill-conceived visual design to try and make photorealistic actors, which was always going to cost a lot in the 1999-2000 era of CG animation. Certainly not the 137 million USD in the year 2000 that it cost to make this Final Fantasy film. I still think though that with an 85 million USD box office take in 2001, the trick was always to make sure the film would cost less than 35 million USD to make. So no, that wasnвЂ™t the problem, or maybe he was out of his element? Note that вЂњThe Spirits WithinвЂќ was written by Al Reinert, who also wrote the Ron Howard film вЂњApollo 13вЂќ and has won numerous awards for his film work. The rest makes up for things like that ten fold. They even have the saturday morning cartoon evil voice going on here instead of something more interesting. If not for the great visuals, pacing, art direction, and context, story wise some of these would be downright cheesy. The value of the cinematics are in the quality and pacing, not the story. ThatвЂ™s where you avoid what Square did with FF and hire a real director and screenwriter. Just saying it would take quite a bit of thinking, planning, making sure they always have something in handвЂ¦ ItвЂ™s not as simple as вЂњDo what you were doing at the 4 minute mark and make it 100 minutesвЂќ. The exponential increase in cost was too much for вЂњFinal Fantasy: The Spirits WithinвЂќ.

Ignoring the difference in scale, diversity and assuming you can just make a movie can be fatal to even the most experienced Cinematics department - just ask Square. They expend such high quality for short running times and there are always these things where they donвЂ™t do crowdsвЂ¦ donвЂ™t do too many characters with the same Dramatic Level Quotient. IвЂ™m not saying itвЂ™s easy, but Blizzard gave the same explanation for the first Diablo III cinematic with the girl and the necronomicon-like book thing. It looks fantastic, but people have to note the parameters involved. The others are clones of each other, one setвЂ¦The rest are вЂњParchment StyledвЂќ camera glides and hard surfaces. I meanвЂ¦ as an exampleвЂ¦ this 4 min 28 second cinematic took Blizzard X months, with Y number of artists and what they have to show for it are two unique characters, only one of which has a fully working face rig, the other may not even have a body. The difference in scale and quality between this and вЂњCaptain HarlockвЂќ, and make no mistake, Harlock looks pretty good, is down to that disparity. I think at last count, Blizzard was explaining something to the effect of how they put on more Resources-Per-Minute-of-Footage than the equivalent for other animations, such that if they tried for 100 minutes their work would end up costing way more than a Pixar or Walt Disney feature?
