It is typical for trailers to be released while production is still in progress. Fury road had a TON of CGI, but it’s impossible to tell because by release the work was completed. People don’t realize how much CGI goes into movies these days and assume it’s all practical FX.
See my above comment, but fury road had a TON of CGI (maybe half or more of the action shots). People don’t realize it because by the time the movie drops production is complete and good cgi is just invisible CGI. The production on Furiosa Is still in progress when the trailer was released.
You just have to look at the credits to see the army of people who worked on VFX for fury Road. I dont have time to dig up exact sources, but this guy touches on it at one point in this series:
There is a ton of cgi in fury road. Many of the cars that crash, environments, backdrops. Yes, there are also practical effects as well. Many productions do a mix of both. This guy does a good job of explaining the bizarre aversion to CGI that is touted in press releases for every movie that gets released today:
It’s a mix of practical and VFX. The VFX production team on Fury road was huge. The reality is good CGI is impossible to discern from practical. There’s more to VFX than green screens.
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.
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.
Wasn’t this guy caught grifting his fans for donos? Oh and he likes reviewing supercars with his buddy on their other channel. And none of his vids are substantiated with anything
I’m not saying that it’s not true. It’s very likely. But if evidence comes out that none of this is true it ends up giving points to the IDF and we don’t want to give more ammunition to Israel. We should be cautious about how we share information. That’s all.
Wow, thanks for sharing an opinion piece from realclearinvestigations wow. How enlightening to hear this take, I’ve never heard it before! Just spouting fact (sources are optional, you see).
They should milk it for PR purposes. That’s how politics works. Politicians need to pander to their electoral base. Eventually the pressure from Gaza will also influence policy. The issue is the youth protesting Gaza don’t understand politics and don’t engage politically beyond protests so Biden doesn’t have to pander to that base (yet)
The system is flawed, for sure, but it works. A lot of policy has shaped or changed the course of American institutions in the past five decades and to pretend otherwise is simply ignorance or naivete. No, the youth are not engaged because they are apathetic and they expect to see quick results. The reality is that politics is not exciting but a slow and laborious process. It takes time and effort to move things. Protesting is nice and dandy, but how effective have they been lately? Where are all the occupy wall street folks now? Without a clear path to concrete policy it’s just misguided energy.
I understand the frustration. Yes, sometimes protesting helps. But to expect major policy change with only a slim majority in house or senate betrays a lack of understanding of how politics works.
What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?
@juicy : that’s a slippery slope moving the goal posts ad hom begging the question false equivalency fallacy.
I love when people start throwing in debate bro terms at random without expanding. It tells everything you need to know that you’re talking to a 12 year old.
I don’t know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I’m on lemmy.world as my instance.

Has community engagement dropped off suddenly?
