June 30, 2003 — Makeup and puppet master Stan Winston told the U-San Bernardino County Sun that actual robots were created for Terminator 3:
For T3, Stan Winston Studios and ILM combined forces to degrade the T-101 to an extent never seen before. Toward the end, the battered Arnieborg is a seamless combination of Schwarzenegger himself, makeup effects, puppeted parts and CG elements.
But that was only part of the mission.
"The unique thing about T3 is that we have generations of Terminators," ' the multi-Oscar winning Winston says. "We" ve brought Arnold back in a way that that T-800, Model 101 has never been seen before. There's the T-X, the more powerful, advanced one that can blow buildings up and can actually kick Arnold's butt. And then we were able to build and design the first Terminators, the T-1s. They weren't bipeds yet -- they moved on tanklike treads."
What makes those T-1s really frightening is that, employing robot technology developed for the "Jurassic Park" ' films, Winston's studio actually built these proto-Terminators. Not a frame of them in the film, he claims, employs CG or other special effects.
"In the other two, we pretended to build robots," ' Winston says. "In " T3,' we're building robots. We're doing what this series is all about. And it's kinda scary."
Are we on the verge of the "Rise of the Machines?" Read more at the link below.
