A Swedish news site has posted aninterview with a person who worked on the special effects for the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire film. The photo accompanying this article, appears to be actor Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort reborn, in the final duel with Harry. Please note: All the effects to the screen image of Voldemort do not appear complete, but Mr. Fiennes' face is clearly distorted.
Goblet of Fire Shows Voldemort
The Leaky Cauldron also recieved a translation of the Swedish site, heres a clip:
Thanks to goal-oriented nagging and convincing tests, the "wow" was
turned into reality this summer. Marcus Hindborg [SFX Creator] was hired by the Moving Picture Company in London together with 300 other people. His assignment was to create snake-eyes for the evil Lord Voldemort in the final scenes of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
It's about putting together the different special effects in a
picture and making them work together. It's almost like working with
Photoshop, only with moving pictures. It's pretty obvious if it's badly done, because the special effects will look like they're "glued on."
The assignment of the eyes was changed quite quickly.
The director realised that it was just too terrifying for the target
audience of the movie. Instead, Marcus got to work with a different part of the villain's face - the nose.
"I got to erase the actor's nose that was going to be replaced by a
snake-nose. While I was working with the scenes, I actually thought that the scenes were really terrifying. It's good that there's a 11-rating for the movie in Sweden, but I think it's wrong that 7 year olds will get to see it while in the company of an adult. If I had been a kid, I would have been really scared."
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire comes to theatres on November
18th.
