[Killer Clown#1]

to be completely honest. i cant remember seeing a cg monster that i couldnt tell was cg. as a matter of fact ive never seen anything come out of a computer that could be descibed as "from my darkest nightmares". the closest in realism that comes to mind was gollum, and even he had his moments.

my issue with cg is that it completly kills the makeup industry. answer me this- what looked better, the wolf in American Werewolf in London, or the Cg wolves in American Werewolf in Paris. The zombie effects in day of the dead, or the zombie effects in resident evil?. And granted it does take talent to design and render cg charactors, but i personally believe that there is far much more skill in the application and design of practical effects. there is somthing very special about drawing somthing on paper and watching it come to life in front of you in actual reality.

I mean really movies like matrix II/III and blade II. those fight scenes looked like dick, because we all new it wasnt real. it looked like a fucking cartoon.

what i do appreciate is the melding of the two feilds. movies like LOTR, Last Samurai and others are doing a very good job or integrating both styles. personally i think that were beginning to reach the peak of computer graffics and that instead of seeing effects that are completely cg, well see effects that are a mixture of cg and practical. i expect for the two feilds to evolve togeather in sybiosis.

Agreed:)
