Lights, camera, action! Let’s talk about how filmmakers are changing the game when it comes to practical effects vs. CGI. We’ve all heard the argument before, but it’s time to move on and explore the reality of using both techniques in 2020. From Christopher Nolan to David F. Sandberg, filmmakers are pushing boundaries and creating something wholly original, unique, and new.
Speaking of Nolan, he’s often touted as today’s most ambitious filmmaker, and for good reason. He demands autonomy in a system designed to reject it, and his films are a testament to his willingness to push boundaries. But let’s not forget that he’s also fortunate to be in a position that allows him to see his ambition all the way through. Not all filmmakers have the luxury of blowing up real airplanes on location instead of relying on CGI.
That being said, there’s no denying the power of CGI in creating spectacular spectacles. We may not have invented an indestructible flying suit with camera tech that’s able to track it through the sky, but we can certainly create the illusion of one with the help of CGI. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good Marvel movie with all its CGI glory?
So, let’s put the practical effects vs. CGI argument to rest and embrace the reality of using both techniques to create something truly amazing. It’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Lights, camera, action!Lights, camera, action! When it comes to creating a truly immersive film experience, practical effects can make all the difference. But what about low-budget filmmakers who can’t afford to blow up sets or hire VFX houses? Fear not, because with tools like Blender, Cinema 4D, and After Effects, cinema-level effects are within reach of creators of all sizes. Just take a look at Peter France, Ian Hubert, and David F. Sandberg, who are able to make something seemingly high-budget from the comfort of their own homes. These creative geniuses prove that the sky’s the limit when it comes to CGI and practical effects. So, whether you’re a big-budget director or a low-budget filmmaker, there’s no excuse not to create something truly spectacular.
