‘Furiosa’ First Reactions Say It’s a Stunning Powerhouse (But No ‘Fury Road’)
‘Furiosa’ First Reactions Say It’s a Stunning Powerhouse (But No ‘Fury Road’)
George Miller's action-packed 'Mad Max 5' is drawing very strong early praise, with some qualifications.
You're viewing part of a thread.
I understand why people are focusing on green screen as stand in for CGI (I'm sure we still have collective ptsd from the Star Wars prequels) but there is a lot more to CGI in production that goes beyond "enhancing" the scenes. Entire elements (ie vehicles) are CGI in Fury Road.
Again, everything I have read and seen regarding the effects for Fury Road was that pretty much everything was filmed practically and on location, including the vehicular combat etc. If you’re referring to a vehicle getting sucked up into the air by the dust storm, ok bro. If your talking about a vehicle driving around in the desert, once again you’re going to have to cite that claim with something other than “VFX artists are in the credits” because it flies in the face of ten years of commentary on this movie.
You're kinda missing the point and I don't know if I'm doing a poor job of explaining or what. I never said there were no practical effects. I never said they weren't the majority of the effects. I never said they filmed on a green screen most of the scenes. All that being told, there is a mountain of VFX happening in almost every shot. And to ignore it is silly at this point.
The issue that started this whole thing was the concern over what looked to be an over reliance on CGI based on the original Furiosa trailer, especially considering that what made Fury Road so special was its heavy use of practical effects for the vast majority of its stunt work and its use of CGI to enhance rather than create. No one was saying CGI and VFX aren’t done in post.
I don’t think i’m missing the point. I think we’re both talking past each other a bit and you’re being a bit too pedantic which is shifting the conversation away from its original context.
No, people are seeing a trailer that was released long before production is wrapped and they're freaking out. Which is normal, but once the movie is out I promise The same people won't tell the difference between what is practical or not.
ok bro.
