The worst offense I see with CG (aside from just poor implementation) is directors who don't keep in mind that their CG shots should still seem as though they were filmed by an actual camera like the rest of the film is. It's like since they suddenly don't have to worry about all the practicalities of actually filming something, they go overboard with the virtual camera flying around everywhere in all sorts of improbable ways. The disjoint tends to stand out something awful.

He is stating some pretty obvious shit at the end...yeah, dipshit, we hate movies because people are relying too much on CG and not story. That is the point. It has only become worse--and this I blame more on capitalism and money-making quotas. Not on CG itself. But it is a byproduct. Just like Facebook and cellphones have blunted real life social skills, we get films where we hate them because they have to use crap CG.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Sift of the week.

yep. you probably notice about 10% of the VFX in film and TV.

the biggest problem comes down to planning. VFX allow directors/producers to not have to plan the same way they had to with in camera effects. so much time/effort/money is wasted on fixing problems that should have been ironed out before a camera was turned on.

the fact that VFX isn't respected by the rest of the industry is a huge problem too. anything that VFX needs to do it's job well is usually the last thing considered on set (other than maybe sound).
