Watching 90s movies and I really feel lime practical effects are more fun than fancy photorealistic cgi
@ireneista It'd be fun if there was a trend in cgibto make it look like unsophisticated practical effects. Like million dollar compute clusters rendering a shitty costume made of cardboard
@mauve definitely. the webcomic Freefall once suggested that that's how it'll someday end up; it's totally possible.
@mauve have you seen The Last Starfighter recently? Amazing 🤩
@chadkoh not yet but I'll add it to my todo list!
@mauve The Incomparable recently did a rewatch and it’s so fun and nostalgic. Who cares that it doesn’t look “realistic”… I mean it’s an 80s movie! Have fun! 🍿
@mauve we always found them to be, yeah. it's not that effort didn't go into the CGI, but at the end of the day a digital effects artist can do more or less anything the director can coherently describe... and without limitations there are no reference points that make things cool or different from each other, if that makes sense
