why hate cgi?
 
that meaning computer animated stuff in movies... why is everyone so against it? thats one thing il never understand, but everywhere i look someone is talking down on cg and il never understand why someone would want a puppet that looks like crap over an animated beast that looks like your ultimate nightmare.

"can you love as much as you can hate?"

because a lot of the time they over do it. LOTR has done a great job with CG but matrix (2 &3) for example over did it.

nothing is without its flaws, everything can be over done, or under done or not done at all if you prefer that.

fluffho 02-04-2004 03:08 PM

well yeh. but i dont see why they dont take the extra step and make sure it actually looks good.

van helsing looks good though, wel from what i seen

if LOTR can do a good job why cant others? i think because they rush it. even animation is being rushed (mainly because they are not doing it the old way anymore, they are using computers)

to me it looks like most people will hate it no matter how good it is, its so anoying.

fluffho 02-04-2004 03:11 PM

oh

yeh making generalizations is always stupid.

moonsorrow 02-04-2004 03:15 PM

people...they are so fucked up....any wonder i hate them?

a lot of times, people use CGI as a crutch, which leads to them overdoing it. Star Wars 2 is a prime example. Yoda, Obi Wan and Sam Jackson are walking down a hallway. The hallway is in CGI. Think about it. It's not a flying lazer-cannon baby eater of death hallway, it's just a hallway. And it's in CGI. Hallways are not hard to find, I'm sure many of you have them in your house.

i think they would rather pay people to sit there ass in front of a computer

than to pay people to actually build stuff

probably cheaper that way too.... stingy bastards

fluffho 02-04-2004 03:18 PM

wait..


ik just call it CG

what is the I for?
