    He doesn’t hate cgi though. He just uses CGI to enhance in camera special effects. Also he has more respect for CGI workers than any of the directors that produce CGI shlock.

        What do you mean? They didn’t actually navigate through the time dimension?

        You mean the didn’t actually generate a 1000 foot wave?

        Next your gonna tell me they didn’t even fly a space ship.

          Isn’t the point that’s all been with special effects and not CGI in the past?

        • His production team built one that keeps spinning for longer. Something to with it’s shape. It’s been a long time since I read about it.

          Sometimes it’s pretty straight forward to just do stuff for real.

            They could have made an indefinitely spinning one by sticking a ring of copper wire and running power through it while making the top magnetic, building a type of brushless motor.

      This is a really good video. Must be disheartening to work so hard on VFX shots, only to be dismerited in promotional material.

    He uses plenty of CGI just fine. For example: the whole batmobile in batman begins is cgi. This myth has to stop.

    Edit: it was the bat copter not the batmobile: No CGI is good cgi

    Okay but did anybody read the Darren Shan Demonata series when they were younger? This is literally the plot of the third book.

    Like so many of his movies, we won’t be able to understand the actors. Although that might be OK when the demons talk.

    It’s called animatronics and fantasy movies were made with them before cgi. They were actually more “real” than computer 3D.

      I miss practical effects, and animatronics, and even cheesy latex masks. The fact that half the movies today are just in essence long videogame cutscenes with no playing the game yourself is a large contributing factor of why I no longer enjoy most movies. If I wanted this I’d just replay MGS4, Make Movies Great Again!

    The screen would be black the entire time, when people complain about not being able to see the movie, he’ll give a pretentious answer about how it’s our fault for not being real cinema fans.

    it’s a bit hard to make a horror movie when all of your scenes have to be under a minute long and packed to the brim with overly dramatized dialogue

    We already have real demons running half the world, it couldn’t be worse than that. Could it?
