Gareth Edwards says that he took «every little trick» that he learned on the $200-million-plus «Rogue One» and tried to apply those to «The Creator» and its more modest $80 million budget. For example, instead of filming on massive soundstages in front of LED panels and green screens, Edwards shot much of «The Creator» on location.
«When we went to real places [on ‘Rogue One’], it worked really well, and I wanted to do a whole science fiction film like that. If you get the crew small enough, the amount of money it costs to move them anywhere in the world, it’s less than building a set.»
Edwards estimates that the production of «The Creator» went to eight different countries — including filming in 80 locations in Thailand alone — and journeyed an approximate 10,000 miles to obtain all the footage they needed. «If the world-building in the movie is any good, it’s because we actually went to the world to build it,» the director says. «There’s stuff that happens for free, that cost a fortune to recreate in a normal film, that was in front of us and it’s like, let’s capture all that.»
The other innovation deployed by the director was laying in all the visual effects and designs after editing was completed. «Normally, that happens before you even start pre-production,» Edwards reveals. «We saved it until the end so that we could have all these happy accidents, find these crazy locations. Then, once it was edited together, we did the designs based on the footage we had. Everything blended more seamlessly, and we embraced whatever we found and blended that into the design. Everyone’s a winner in that capacity, because you get more realism. It looks better. It’s cheaper … if I get to do another film, I want to push that stuff even further.»
«The Creator» opens this Friday, September 29.
