Pirates of the Caribbean, curse of the black pearl. The way they kept the skeletons dark, and the ships look so real. To this day, it looks so good.

That entire first trilogy has some of the most impressive effects ever put to screen. Phenomenal movies

@rade-blunner7824 Жыл бұрын

The ships look real because they're miniatures, really big ones. Around the turn of the millennium was the sweet spot where CGI wasn't capable of everything yet, so in the hands of sensible directors it would be an excellent mix of miniatures and CGI complementing each other.

IMO the cgi is the cherry on top; it's such a challenge to build a story with so little dialog. Wall-e one of the very best captivating stories that relies on amazing visuals & characters instead of talking heads. Putting it another way- to hold my then 5 year old's full attention for the whole movie & have mine as well... that's a feat.

@FUBARguy107 Жыл бұрын

I saw Wall-E multiple times in theater. Once in a huge XD theater and again in a huge theater in another city. Then a third time at a much smaller venue with my gf and we used mind-altering substances and Wall-E became deeply important to us for well over a year. I'm also really good at mimicking Wall-E's voice so that didn't help letting go at all.

Everything Everywhere All At Once - I wanted to immediately go back and see it again after the 1st time. The way the VFX are serving the story, being absolutely bonkers and at the same time well made, is just pure magic. And they're often "simple", based more on editing, rather than "waves of blue energy as people punch eachother" (they talked about that in the WIRED piece). Not to mention the fact that almost 500 shots was done by an absolutely tiny team.

Lord of the Rings. The scale and high fantasy of that story seem like they would be impossible to depict convincingly in the early 2000s. But even today it's almost fully immersive. The art direction, practical/digital effects hybrid work and everything else come together in a way I haven't seen matched in anything else. I think we'll be hard pressed to see something more impressive relative to its time.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON When I first watched it I had never ever seen flight captured so convincingly and smoothly in a movie. You could feel the power of the wing beats and I LOVE that they implemented different methods of flight for the different species of dragons. The lighting was also something the animators talked about because the majority of the movie was "shot" outdoors they used alot of different natural light to light the scenes. I remember trying to record a scene on my phone camera that I had at the time and my phone actually couldn't capture the picture because the brightest brights and the darkest shadows were too much for my camera to handle.

David finchers use of computer generated effects should be talked about more, because most of it people don't even realize that what they're seeing is cg. Fincher is excellent at utilizing these tools when necessary and merging them seamlessly with in camera shots, would love to hear yall talk about that more. Social network, Zodiac, Girl with the dragon tattoo, Benjamin button, panic room, all stunningly subtle cg effects

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" - Davy Jones, the Flying Dutchman and its crew, along with the Kraken attacks, are simply some of the most real effects even now 17 years later. An the fact that Gore Verbinski worked as a VFX compositor earlier in his career certainly helped the production reach a standard of VFX that is not often even targeted these days.
