How can you make Dr.Strang/Avatar movies without CGI.

 

[Batiman]

Please watch Fury Road (or watch it AGAIN) and you might change your mind about this (and yes, I know there is some CGI in Fury Road as well).

No I mostly agree. My point is, if the cgi is done right it’s not really needed. Everyone praised the practical effects of the ornithopters in dune. Ya they built them for set. By the time the movie was done they were 90% cgi anyway.

Love fury road by the way.

How can you make Dr.Strang/Avatar movies without CGI.

You can do everything practical of course.
Star Wars was all practical and all looks 100% real and not fake at all. Those models don't look like tiny models.

I had a dream once where every Tom Cruise role was played by Tom Hanks instead. One of my favorite dreams.

 

[Hugare]

I remember hearing like 2 years ago when they initially revealed the footage that they are two seaters so its real but someone else was flying.

Yup, thats correct

What I meant was: he was inside the plain and the recording was legit

Practical effects age just like CGI does. There's some practical effects that look bad in that film

Have youse not seen the clip of that maniac strapped to a plane taking off?? Every film is riddled with cgi but I'll give that midget Scientologist cunt his dues, he puts his all into his flicks

The title of his autobiography, I believe.

What blows my mind is Lucas‘ priorities on “fixing” the OT:

CGI artists: So Mr. Lucas, you want us to add a whole bunch of extra aliens, ships, Jaba the Hutt, etc. into Episode 4 using mid-90’s CGI that will always look solid and never age extremely poorly?
Lucas:

CGI artists: All right, but what about this two seconds where Obi-Wan holds his lightsaber at a specific angle while fighting Vader and the audience can see he’s just holding a stick? Should we touch up on that and make it look consistently like a lightsaber?
Lucas:

MCU CGI is mostly fine.

Scientology must give you huge balls. That stunt at the end of the new M.I. trailer off the bike is real and its spectacular

 

[DragoonKain]

He's the GOAT. Tom Cruise is so dedicated he'll literally be shot with real bullets in movies just to make it look realistic. And he's not harmed because he's Tom fucking Cruise.

Me who loves both franchises and cannot wait for this next M:I film

tom cruise sucks

 

[Tams]

I'm sure that video is fake.

Of course there is CGI in TGM, but I'm also sure the actors weren't put through months of naval pilot training, including escaping underwater and G-force endurance, just to film on a green screen.

From the production notes.

"The actors also had to learn how to run the cameras because when they’re up in the jet they have to direct themselves essentially. They also needed to be taught about the lighting, cinematography and editing, as it is the once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Umm, did that muppet just call an A400M a WWII aircraft?

Man, Tom Cruise is on GAF now.

First of all, is this guy real? His picture is everywhere

Second, OP did you see the movie yet? If so do you stand your statement? just curious.

 

[Toons]

Hes a heavily photoshoped guy. There is a real dude that's pretty good looking that was a base line but the insane muscles and stuff aren't real

I want a Raid 3

The night comes for us

It’s on Netflix. You’re eelcome

You might have a stronger argument if you said "Mad Max: Fury Road"..........

Actually there is a fair amount of CGI in that but not nearly as much as recent action movies. Even the recent Bond movie had a bunch of CGI. Most of Fury Road's CGI was backgrounds and such. Action scenes were mainly practical IIRC.

Yep, it's the only recent action film I can think of though to make an argument. Everything has CGI now, even non-action films.

You want some amazing practical FX work? Watch The Void!

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I don't think I was ever much of a fan but I loved Legend. The other movie I loved him in was actually a drama which was Rain Man. But Dustin Hoffman is the one who stole the show on that.

Yeah. Got to go back. Got to get my boxer shorts. Yeah. Judge Whopner at 3pm. Yeah.

I didn't realize he did a lot of his own stunts and some of those stunts are pretty crazy so I got to hand it to him for that. That motorcycle scene looks insane.

But if I have a favorite movie by Ted Cruz I really can't think of it. Off the top of my head I guess it would be Legend from 1985.

Edit: oh that's right Interview with the Vampire. That was a pretty good movie.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Tom Cruise certified the greatest action movie star ever after Top Gun

No MCU actors could compared to a living legend

Have a nice day
