Apr 03 2009: An Article in "Post magazine Apr1,2009"; VFX FOR TV SERIES by Randi Altman.
TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES
An example is Catherine Weaver (Shirley Manson), who appears human on the outside but is really a terminator.
There is a scene where she is walking nonchalantly through a warehouse as her arms turn into liquid metal swords, cutting unsuspecting employees in half as she just keeps on walking.
“It’s a deceptively simple sequence.,” he says, “but she’s not really touching those people in the live action. When she slices them up it’s a choreography of two real people and some CG hardware that connects them.
So Junji Hirano had to build CG blades that were scary, and tracked with her real arms, and still motivated her interaction with her victims.
