my friend is an effects producer, a ton of stuff is CGI'd in movies you'd never expect. For instance, she had to have an entire person dedicated to - Andie May 12, 11:12 4
- Yeah, Cracked had a good photoplasty a while back of CGI used in ordinary scenes. -- (link) - Roger More May 12, 11:51
- *nod* There are FX houses that specialize in 'invisible' work and work under the super strict NDA's - JD May 12, 11:15 2
  - yep, she's had jobs that were just erasing wrinkles. -- nm - Andie May 12, 11:22

In the EW cover story "Almost every breakneck sequence and car flip, explosions,and person attached to a moving vehicle is real. - Zunk xometimes May 12, 11:03 1
- smash that pickle revert! -- nm - prayformojo May 12, 11:08
I'm sure there's quite a bit more than it seems but the stunts seem very practical. -- nm - secretslacker May 12, 11:02 1
- And there's much less CG than Happy Feet. :) -- nm - secretslacker May 12, 11:02
There's effects but most of it is erasing rather than imagery. Pretty much all of it starts as practical - JD May 12, 11:01 1
- That's kind of what I'm thinking, so in a way ... Will Hunting, I think this is one thing that Mad Max has to offer that other flicks fail to deliver. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 11:03
I think that article just proves Spielberg is a master and most of the hacks now think computers = great - Will Hunting May 12, 10:38
Someone was railing against 1990s Jurassic Park cgi? Are they insane? It still looks better than most movies released since then. - Max May 12, 10:35 12
- Jurassic World, sorry. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 10:37 11
  - They should've used stunt dinosaurs clearly. -- nm - Shaun May 12, 10:38 10
    - It's more that as they go to all computers, the realism is lost... - Will Hunting May 12, 10:45 9
      - I agree and I present a counter argument in favour of Avatar. The CGI used for that makes you forget that it's CGI. - Shaun May 12, 10:49 6
        
        Hell, even the Matrix guys found something innovative and then made it happen in the rules that they set forth. - Will Hunting May 12, 10:59 4
        
        And they actually used a tonne of physical setpieces, like the lobby scene. -- nm - Shaun May 12, 11:01 3
        
        It's part of why I like the new Bonds and not the Brosnan's...the stunts look real - Will Hunting May 12, 11:16 1
        
        Lol to the last one. -- nm - Shaun May 12, 11:26
        
        Yeah, everything looked tangible, if slightly incredible. - Will Hunting May 12, 11:09
        
        Right, There are cases where it fits, but it's usually teams that are damn diligent or certified geniuses. - Will Hunting May 12, 10:56
      - It all goes to rubber, and the gravitas is lost; it's just stuff happening. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 10:46 1
        
        That's what an educated she said. -- nm - Inigo May 12, 10:51
Apparently not a ton. There is some, but is getting raves for it's stunt work. -- nm - volnelk May 12, 10:34
