How 'Rogue One's' Princess Leia, Grand Moff Tarkin Were Crea
I saw the film on Wednesday night. The quality of those characters was appalling. It's terrible, Special Edition CG Jabba all over again.
How 'Rogue One's' Princess Leia, Grand Moff Tarkin Were Crea
To me, they were 100% acceptable, and *almost* entirely out of uncanny valley territory.
Two possible sources for my tolerance are lots of time spent playing video games, and a highly introverted nature. Would be interesting to see survey results to see if there is any positive correlation between those or other factors and being generally easier to impress / satisfy with CG movie effects.
An amazing amount of work and cleverness went into it, but those characters still look like creepy sadness robots. It would have been so much better to just use lookalikes like they did with Mon Mothma.
Why Do Marvel's Movies Look Kind of Ugly?
Nope, nothing wrong with sharing an opinion, it was his line "digital footage can look amazing but it has to be graded PROPERLY." so that means he's saying they aren't doing it 'right'. I'm saying that sometimes there are valid reasons for things that may not be apparent immediately on the one shot you're looking at... that someone made a conscious decision to grade this way for carefully considered reasons and it's not as simple as 'right' and 'wrong'.
i.e:
desaturating cg generally makes it feel a bit more photographic, so maybe Marvel thinks that it will balance all the crazy comic-book action and make things feel more real.
Also, maybe they want to mute things so that all the different films feel like they're in the same world, even if the color palettes are different.
I expressed my opinion because I've been a vfx artist for 15 years, and that was the topic of this specific youtube video! I'm not commenting on how he did with this video, but I'll do that now: "Pretty great first essay vid! look forward to seeing more!"
I actually prefer this guys grading more, and would likely do it that way if it was up to me. That's not the point. I'm countering his position.
Does that all make sense now Danny?
I don't remember him saying one was right and the other was wrong, but hey maybe i'm mistaken.
What i don't understand is why it's ok for you to express your opinion about his youtube video without becoming a respected youtube videographer yourself, but it's not ok for him to express his opinion about the colours in Marvel films without becoming a Marvel film maker.
Are people not allowed to express their opinions on things? And if that's the case, why did you express yours?
Huge Typhoon Sea Surge Slams Taiwan
The scale of that is so unbelievable it looks like CG. That's always frightening...
Baby Iguana Being Chased By Snakes
I'm not sure I buy that this is 100% real. Not CG, maybe, but certainly heavily staged. And maybe some CG too?
Doctor Strange -- chase through a city folding in on itself
Saw the movie last night, this scene is amazing and anything but 'hokey and cheap' I assure you. Mind your seeing this out of context as well.
**very minor spoiler**
One of the myriad dimensions displayed in the movie, the MIrror Dimension is a place that 'reflects' reality and cannot cause harm to our dimension. It is also highly susceptible to magical manipulation and is connected to the Dark Dimension which gives the villain here a very good amount of control over it. Thus he is able to warp New York city not in reality, but in this Mirror Dimension. This is why at the beginning of the video Mordo says 'this isn't a good idea, it's suicide' after Dr. Strange shifts everyone over to the Mirror Dimension to protect the normal world.
Over-all the movie is a trippy, highly unusual experience with CG unlike ever seen before. It is relatively formulaic in that many Marvel movies but because it goes places and does things never seen before you hardly notice. It's a fantastic experience.

If You Can't Tell, Does It Matter?
Yes, in the sense that "bad cgi looks awful" and "good cgi allows you to create scenes that are otherwise impossible and/or cost prohibitive".

and @Gutspiller, it's easy to tell when you're shown this kind of comparison. You are subconsciously looking for the defects.
But I bet you didn't notice half the backgrounds in Fury Road when you first watched it.
Fuck you it does matter.
If You Can't Tell, Does It Matter?
This is what defines 'bad cg' and 'good cg'. Good cg gets the lighting right.
Lego Super Smooth stop motion build - 75159 Death Star
Thanks for the correction/clarification. I'd personally count that as cheating, but it makes a difference. Kinda still CG, kinda not, I guess.
It is stop motion, they just "morphed" the transitions. After effects kinda shit.

This is CG. This is not stop-motion.
8 Movies That Were So Bad They Had To Cancel The Sequel
Well, a CG version if you count him.
Never saw that one. If it didn't have Arnold then I figured it wasn't worth watching. This last one pretty much debunked that notion.

Mad Max: Fury Road - Raw
No, they don't.
Fury Road and The Force Awakens were probably the two most hyped "hey we're doing practical effects" movies of the last year or two and both have a tonne of CGI, it's just hard to see.
Practical effects are great for some stuff, but good CGI allows for things that are simply impossible with practical effects.
Both have their place.

Real effects always beat out cgi.
