  • This dude takes a few minutes to get to the point as usual with these essays, but the main meat of the video is pretty interesting. TLDW is that fimmakers and studios often seem to be misrepresenting the truth, claiming combined practical and digital effects are in fact fully practical and contain no CGI.

  • I really don’t care if something is practical or CGI, as long as it looks cool.

    I just think for a long time — CGI was pretty poor and characters moved like Gumby. It actually helps to blend the practical and the digital — but hey, whatever looks good.

  • the top gun debunk was hard to watch because I’ve searched online after seeing the film and there was so much wrong information as shown by this video.

    the black 10 Mach plane was not real yet everybody pointed how the building roof was a happy accident and was unexpected, dangerous but ultimately amazing.

    yet it was a “normal” jet and not a billion dollar flying machine

  • I don’t really care if its full CGI, half, or some blend. How about less risk aversion and green-lighting something other than a rehash or reboot?

    Oh right, people adopted streaming and the power of money died. Thats what ya get for filtering through the tastes of the scant catalog owners!

  • I wonder if it’s positioning to minimize the value those roles bring. Similarly as “the actor did all of their own stunts” instead of crediting the stunt performers actually risking their bodies.
