Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Titanic (1997): 1 line

  1. unmapped (shared-technology) · through Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003), which they worked on as VFX artist at Asylum, source for the claim that none of the storm ocean is CG: Titanic ⇒ Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (the host's read). The film exists because James Cameron's Mexican Titanic tank, with a gimbal, was still usable for the ship set.
    “James Cameron had done the legwork to build out the system to be able to basically shoot this on a gimbal in a tank of a proper set.”

  1. craft (craft): Nathan McGillis → Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. A VFX artist at Asylum says none of the ocean in the film's storm sequence is CG, in line with Weir's wish for miniatures.
    “I can tell you, according to Nathan McGillis, McGinnis from Asylum, another VFX company. There's not one piece of ocean in that storm sequence that isn't real.”
