Not sure if it is caused by CGI or me becoming older, but I noticed the following: in the past I would see a movie landscape (let’s say a new planet in a Sci-Fi movie, or adventurers discovering a lost place) and would feel crushed by emotions due to the beauty/darkness/emptiness of it and it’s massive size.
I cannot feel anything like this anymore, I just think “oh, cool CGI”, and that’s it, no emotions whatsoever. And that kind of ruins a lot of movies I would have previously enjoyed.
- ryeights 5y agoI would think the latter, haha.
- brimble 5y agoIt has definitely, entirely ruined effects-focused making-of videos. How'd they do it? Computers. What did it look like? Someone using a computer. How can we show you the "behind the scenes" of that shot? Disable part of the rendering. All identical, all boring. The only interesting part is "how much of this shot was CG?" but a still conveys that. Extensive making-ofs are practically dead, except for people in the industry who want to know exactly which commercial plugin they used or whatever.
