#maybe not the cgi

[dreamstations]

i think using real animatronics really enhanced the experience of the film. not just in the charming yet uncanny way freddy + friends robotically stomped around but also when they finally reveal springtrap at the end of the film. the way he lumbers in, hunched over. immediately recognizable as an animatronic but theres something Wrong. he's moving too fast, too lifelike. that has to be a person in a suit. he found you, mike.

it was really effective idk guys

#idk if they had been cgi or whatever idk maybe it would've been fine but idk springtrap really stuck w me. #thats the only point of the movie that sent like fear into my heart LMFAO i audibly went 'OH FUCK' when he showed up #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #fnaf movie spoilers #william afton

[letsmcfreackingloseit]

Can we also talk about how much special effects (a.k.a not CGI) they used in the fnaf movie? I fucking love that they have made actual animatronics for this movie AND THEY LOOK SO GOOD AND I LOVE THEM

#fnaf #fnaf movie #although I don't actually know how much cgi they used? #I'm not an expert- but it really felt like most of what happend on screen (like maybe 80%?) was special effects #so people please come-! Inform me of how much of it was special effects because I WANT TO KNOW!!

Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue

THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.

#This is literally Storytelling 101: Show Don't Tell #I'm sorry scriptwriters I know you were working before your union won minimal staffing in writers' rooms and decent pay and all that #but You Know What You Did #Also cgi artists plz unionize #A few more hours on Momo would have maybe taken him further out of the nightmare monkey puppet category #I know some people are reporting him as cute #But all I can see is a creature from the Magnus Archives #that thing is the skin of Momo being worn by something that doesn't quite move right underneath #And maybe it is looking for a better fit #Don't let it touch you adorable child actor Aang #avatar the last airbender #atla #natla #Anyone looking to block the live action posts I'll be tagging all of these with that natla tag going forward #But yeah not going to post about it much #I came I saw I deemed it not worth the hours of my life it asked #I can literally write a better Avatar AU than this #Anyway back to Toph beating up Blind Zuko! #*write write write" #(their big budget fanfic can't hurt me it can only introduce more fans to the original)

“First Kill is bad” to YOU. It was actually made for ME personally though so shut up. Sorry you can’t appreciate a pining lesbian vampire with a gay best friend that’s ride or die, a lesbian monster hunter with a neon aesthetic and a relationship with her ex, milfs, a complete lack of homophobia, monster hunting, shitty cgi, and cliche romantic tropes queer people never get to enjoy, but me? Well I can because I have TASTE

#first kill #first kill netflix #I’m sorry I genuinely don’t understand why ppl are criticizing it the way they are #1.) extremely low budget series 2.) extremely gay and fun 3.) interesting characters and plot #people also said heartstopper was cringy so… maybe you just suck #if it was mlm… would you be giving up on it so fast and shitting on it? #probably not and I’ll stand by that #also when I say it’s made for me I mean this quite literally everything I’ve ever wanted #including the horrendous cgi #it’s okay when it’s a low budget queer romance #when it’s marvel and shit… die

BIZARRE QUESTION but my coworker has this sticker she got as a freebie from a random Etsy order and no one can figure out what it is. I swear it's some kind of Jim Henson/Fraggle Rock/Dark Crystal kind of character but so far no luck.

Sorry for the weird cropping it's on her water bottle. It might just be someone's original character but if anyone has any idea who this weird little guy is I would love your assistance.

#not even my puppeteer friend knows i'm in a pickle #i thought maybe it was a star war? #a star war of some kind? #but i found the cgi alien i was thinking of and it's not that

[eggpriest]

tired of cgi slander on this site

#egg thoughts #people who work in cgi need to get paid more. maybe then the cgi you see will be better #like everything it also really just depends. sometimes itll be better for certain things sometimes it wont etc. #im sleepy i dont know if i worded this right but all the cgi slander here irritates me a little its like everyone here is like 80 years old #*drops this here and runs away fast* #i also made the original image >:D hehehe

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

#len speaks #star wars #revenge of the sith #empire strikes back #the force awakens #not tagging more films than that bc i cant b bothered. incoming tag ramble ahead bc i have sw brainrot rn and im making it everyones prob❤️ #i rlly struggled 2 remember if id watched tfa or aotc more. i went w/ tfa bc it was formative to me as a teen and ive seen it probably 6ish #times? whereas aotc was the first sw movie i remember (specifically the scene of obiwan serving c*nt in the bar lmao) but i've only seen it #for sure 4.5 and maybe 5.5 times. the .5 is from when i got bored after obi-wan's scene ended and ran off to go play in the mud or smthn 😭 #i'm sure tfa will eventually get surpassed in number of rewatches by aotc and rots bc i don't fw the direction of the ST but that's my #current ballpark estimate of my total number of rewatches #as an adult tho if i just wanna watch a star war i'll go with aotc bc it's fun and ends semihappily and i can turn my brain off for the #spinny lightsabers. it's great background noise or for if you're sick or whatever. rots on the other hand? i won't talk through that unless #i'm quoting it with my brother and i am LOCKED IN 100% entirely entranced by it all #i almost picked rogue one for the best quality answer but i think the character writing is weaker and the facial cgi is creepy. esb beats #it by a hair imho bc of that. the vader hallway scene goes hard tho!!! #also i'm not covering shows or games or books or anything else in this post - simply the films. might ask abt shows later but that might #also give me hives bc so many of the shows suck ass and i don't rlly want ppl extolling the virtues of t.bb in my notes 💀 #and yes i do think one's enjoyment and one's opinion of quality are two things that often overlap. but sometimes you just like something #bad and that's awesome. like rots is the best of the prequels by a large margin and i adore the opening and characters and many of the #scenes but that doesn't mean it's the best star wars has to offer ykwim? it's my specialest most favoritest sw movie but that doesn't blind #me to the dialogue lmfaooo

"Puzzling Tides"

wow ok this render took a million billion years!! It's based off these wacky surrealist ocean jigsaw puzzles that i see all the time in stores near the beach. the fish and corals were modeled in Maya, i used the onyx tree generator for the palms. All of the fish textures themselves are from photographs (aka Not Mine). :V) hee hoo bryce

#gallery #my art #bryce3d #retro cgi #retro 3d #vaporwave #i think thats a good tag to put here? #maybe seapunk is more accurate #did you know that there is a fish whose original name is Nunu? i learned that #it is my new best friend #didnt end up putting it in the scene bc it didnt fit #spot the secret shrimp

I see people say they want a genuine live action clone wars and like yes in theory that would be awsome but…

What i would love is if they just un-cancelled the animated clone wars and just gave us a bunch of new arcs

And then have a bunch of live action clone wars flashbacks in Ahsoka

#i dont think cgi de-aged ewan and hayden would work as a whole project #but like a few flashbacks here and there would be so cool if only to see live action obi wan in his armor #i absolutely need hayden back for more anakin flashbacks and i dont see why ewan couldn’t come back too #other than like scheduling #i mean his wife is on the show so…can he be on it too?? #also natalie said she would come back so maybe padme can get the love she deserves #just a little? #as a treat? #but like seriously live action can never top what animation can do #so give me season 7 clone wars level animation and un-whitewash the clones #and do that for a billion more seasons #literally limitless possibilities since that show wasn’t even in timeline order anyways #they can take advantage of that and have arcs that take place all throughout those 3 years!! #i need more clone wars!! #star wars #the clone wars #obi wan kenobi #ahsoka #star wars the clone wars #anakin skywalker #padme amidala #ewan mcgregor #hayden christensen #natalie portman #sw #captain rex #ahsoka series #ahsoka season 2 #animation is awesome and they need to realize that #kate's post

i have a funny feeling the new daredevil series is basically going to be yeah we got him back but he came back wrong in terms of. everything

#i just have a feeling!!! #a silly goofy little feeling that it’s going be massively reductive and disneyfied and everything that made matt matt is going to be gone #and everything that made the series so good is going to be set aside in favor of quips and cgi #and mcu hollowness #but idk maybe that’s just bc they’re not hiring back any of the same writing team and bringing in writers from the cw #and not bringing back the stunt crew who did such excellent grounded work for netflix dd #and now apparently not bringing back elden henson for foggy #so. why the fuck did they even bother to save the show #daredevil

[zilabee]

I wrote this about get back long before we saw get back:

I feel like he's been kicking himself for the missed opportunity ever since... until suddenly now redemption ❤️

#I thought we were better at cgi than we maybe are #but I love the thing #still no cartoon foxes #but you can't have everything #I feel like fandom can make ourselves a soul destroying moving songvid of great meaning #whenever we want #but stripper!george haunting Paul #we def needed help with that #I wish there had been better varieties of Beatle #and I wish... LOTS OF THINGS OBVIOUSLY #but generally maybe it's okay to give beatles the least emotional sendoff a life changing band of LOVE has ever had?????? #yeah #the beatles

[itsatorchwoodthing]

im bringing back my theory that Cyberwoman was shot that way on purpose and how brilliant it is ( and how it gets shit on only because of the awful costume choice)

i find that the weird shaky camera and the zooms were some sort of a narrative device and artistic choice (even tho one can argue, not well done) that helps you understand how disconnected ianto is feeling from the team and how much his life is shaking - the whole episode IS from ianto’s point of view, his feelings and his way of seeing the team, its supposed to put you in his mind

#im a cyberwoman apologist #you dont get the artistic vision and im sorry #also the episode itself is maybe one of the best #in a narrative way #just get over the costume #and the awful cgi #its so good #also another episode thats from a character point of view is greeks besring gifts and its on tosh and jacks relationship #anyway maybe thsts a post for another night #sotry for the bad english its late #torchwood #doctor who #jack harkness #captain jack harkness #mine #ianto jones #owen harper #gwen cooper #toshiko sato #torchwood meme #torchwood 1x4 #cyberman #torchwood cyberwoman

SIGH like at the end of the day, there is nothing a live action ATLA show could bring that we didn't get in the animation. Other than appealing to the most annoying parts of fandom who want to deprioritize Aang.

#atla #like FINE individual frames in the trailer don't look terrible #but like #I didn't need a team of CGI artists working overtime to recreate how amazing omashu looks in the animation #WHO WANTS THIS #also the entire cast being adults except for aang......... #tell me ur gonna deprioritize aang without telling me ur gonna depriortize aang #zutara is absolutely going to play a bigger role in the show I'm SURE OF IT #maybe even zukka #kataang is going to be treated like a 5 year old having a crush on their teacher #idk man it's honestly just DEPRESSING #the sokka actor how light katara is the ages of everybody the bending itself #it's all just #not good #the trailer is honestly very zuko centric too #which #SIGH #MULTIPLE SCENES OF ZUKO GETTING HIS SCAR IN THE TRAILER?????? #might as well just rename the show to be zuko: the last zuko bender #anyway I will remain salty forever #nothing will sway me #I hate it #the only good thing is that hopefully the most annoying stans will move on to the live action that is going to canonize all their bullshit #and leave those of us that actually enjoy the original alone

man they used to just blow shit up in movies

#maybe it’s better now that they don’t for like safety/environmental reasons but CGI cannot compete with an actual explosion

[captainofthestrangestship]

I'm just like whenever they decide to get a Bones for SNW they better make sure that actor has blue eyes or people are going to lose their minds.

#this post is dumb #leonard mccoy #with how old the spock and kirk actors are they will probably need to get an actor who is older than kelley was when he started #mainly so he actually seems older than both of them #how expensive would it be to cgi his eyes blue?? would that even look good? or maybe contacts #i mean i'm fine if he doesnt have blues if that means hes actually in the show
