karelm 2,915 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I hope the film has quality costume and makeup effects, comparable to the great work done in THE EWOK ADVENTURES films.My hope is we'll finally learn what becomes of Chewie's family.

leeallen01 2,138 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Just saying that Guardians of the Galaxy having CG creatures is fine for a film filled with CGI. Abrams is trying everything to go practical. Building huge sets and making costumes and masks and makeup instead of CGI aliens, yet they make her characters fully CGI? It might look obvious and out of place. I don't want to see a well lit scene outside with real locations, sets and actors dressed as aliens and then Nyong'o walks in full CGI.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 JJ's implementation of special effects was pretty much perfect in his Trek films. I'm sure it will be second to none in SW7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,661 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The dots on the face would lead one to believe it's performance capture.It would be foolish to think that there won't be CGI in this film. It looks/sounds like they're making a big effort to do as much as possible with practical effects, but CGI is a tool, and a useful one. If they want something they can't do practically for one reason or another, they'll do it CGI.The original trilogy was full of stop motion animation, puppetry, etc. This is no different. They'll use all of the tools at their disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,138 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'm fine with performance capture. I'm not being negative about that. I mean that I don't want to be ripped out of the film by the contrast of everything in a scene being practical and just one big CGI slap in the face. Apes are easy to be convinced because they're real. Look at Lurtz in LOTR compared to Azog in Hobbit. I know which one I'd prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,138 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 He was greatly improved but he was obviously CGI. I will always favour practical over Digital. Back in the 70's film makers had limitations of what they could do, which can make films better. Being able to do anything can be bad because Lucas and Jackson both fell into that trap.

leeallen01 2,138 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 It's great CG, but it's still clearly CG. Lurtz is undeniably right in front of you, fighting Aragorn. CGI still looks too perfectly smooth and clean. Practical is always more convincing, which I prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,661 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 What prosthetics lack in movement/articulation, they gain in tangibility. I agree with LeeAllen, I typically prefer a physical presence to a CGI presence if it's feasible. Azog is a good example - Jackson proved in three movies that he knows how to turn a human person into an orc, but he opted for CGI in the Hobbit movies across the board, and in my opinion it's really bad. Despite the advances made in the two years since AUJ, Azog never looked like he was actually in scene to me.I have no problem with CGI or motion capture in things that can't otherwise be done. We don't know anything about Lupita's character besides a name and an occupation, so we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,138 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I agree there were some scenes that convinced me almost 100 percent. Like the close-up of him dying. Incredible CGI. I guess I can't see him as real becsuse of the sketchy and rushed last minute CG job on the first two Hobbits, but I will always find practical more enjoyable than VFX. CGI has yet to convince me in a film that its really there. Makes me care less for characters that aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny.And seriously, at this stage, one CGI character is certainly not something to be worried about, especially in a very practical effects-driven film.
