[QUOTE="Wednesday Boy, post: 6684837, member: 53678"] I'm not against all CGI and that video makes many points that I agree with. I like how the video compared CGI to a tool in the filmmaker's toolbelt. It's a great tool for landscapes, brief special effects, and extra from far off shots. And I recognize it's an incredible feat of technology and film. It's not my preferred tool for rendering characters from scratch. If Jar-Jar and Azog are bad CGI, what do you think are examples of good CGI for main characters? (Also, I recognize it's a matter of aesthetic opinion. I was equally aware Jabba was a special effect in [I]Jedi [/I]and the Special Edition [I]ANH[/I]. I just prefer the Muppet to the cartoon.) For sure--my wanting Muppets and makeup has no basis in budgetary or production hurdles. Like Remathilis's video points out, a great plot, direction, and acting will make me overlook subpar special effects, so I would prioritize those over Muppets any day. But since in this thread my character is a movie exec with limitless time, budget, and resources, I gave Muppets the nod. [/QUOTE]
