The Complexity of Terminator 2: Judgment Day

JamesCameronOnline.com has updated and expanded the article listing all the amazing ideas and artistry that went into Terminator 2: Judgment Day. I remember first watching/reading the text commentary on T2 Extreme DVD when it came out in 2003, and being absolutely blown away by the artistic side of T2 I havent focused on before. Particularly, the deliberate lighting of the T-800 during the Hasta La Vista scene - that the mechanical side was lit in blue and darkened by shadow and the human side was lit with warm orange, symbolizing the triumph of his humanity.

Endoskeleton Design Evolution

Let's step out of our bubble for a second time.

There are differences, although they are very minor, so let's see them all TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY...

Their graphic design, layouts and most importantly, photos never seen in other publications and screencaps from the actual films were, at the time, something very special and rare. I mean, their 1985 book on The Terminator is just unbelievable. The excellent Starlog magazine was also published in Japan, but it wasn't simply a translation of the American counterpart. They were completely different issues with different articles, content and photos. The May 1985 issue featured The Terminator on the front and back cover, and featured 8 pages dedicated to the special effects of the film. I cant really read Japanese so I can't say anything about the article, but the photos are as usual top notch. There are screencaps from the film, couple of publicity photos not seen in many publications, and even pictures I have not seen prior to getting this magazine, ev...
