Special effects>CGI

get with the times grandpa i bet you still play bored games

your oily rubber halloween masks look like shit, deal with it

Everyone always remembers the great practical effects and bad cgi but never the other way around. Shit practical effects look awful and great cgi looks astounding. And there is tons of both so why can't people just appreciate the best of both worlds?

Don't ever post in my threads again.

No, all CGI looks shit no matter what.
Krill yourself.

>Shit practical effects look awful
Because they require talent and pride in ones work. "Good" CGI just requires money.

talent costs money you fucking retard

You wouldn't be able to distinguish CGI from reality in today's movies.

Grow up

Why do you think it costs so much money?

Does animating, modeling, etc., require less skill and talent than practical effects specialists? How can you even compare the two?

CG is special effects user~

As a movie viewer I rather take what looks best, practical or not. Using bad practical effects on purpose when you can produce something much better is the equivalent of "i-it's supposed to be bad!" Also

>CG doesn't require talent
silly ignorant user

This.
Practical effects/technicians/riggers cost more for multiple shots than it does for two people at PC's.

But that pic is half practical half CG.

To a degree, yes, but if people working on a project film care, they can get it done on shoestring budget. This has been shown over and over. Meanwhile, Hollywood blockbusters with huge budgets still have abysmal CGI. And they rely on CGI to the point of snuffing the need for actual talent. CGI needs corporate animating studios, rendering servers, workstations, storage, which which all costs money for no reward besides shitty CGI.

So the problem isn't CG but instead people with no vision. Saying CG is bad because hollywood doesn't care about filmmaking is like saying all hamburgers are bad because you eat off the $1 menu from Mcdonald's

>inb4 food analogy
Hey if it works then it works.

At least bad practical effects are still fun... bad CGI really takes you out of the movie.

To each their own I guess.

Go watch Food Fight and say that again.

while i love the evil dead, and part of it's charm is the cheapness of the film

it looks fucking terrible now. there is no denying it.

>>CG doesn't require talent
it doesn't, there's no shortage of computer slaves out there who all do the exact same thing with no style whatsoever besides trying to make it look as REEL as possible and blend in with the flick

Can someone post bad examples of bad practical effects?


For bad CGI well use Mortal Kombat Annihilation

cgi always looks like dogshit though and removes you from the experience of immersion in the world of the film

Practical effects + responsibly used cgi applied when needed is the best combination.
