I was from the age of LPs and cassettes, fine, then I heard digital recordings. "This is not what live music sounds like..." - there was an indefinable essence missing. Too clean, indeed. I called a DJ in L.A. on KPFK on a Sunday night who was playing the Doors first album in it's entirety. I had purchased that album in '67 and what I was hearing on the radio was...off. The DJ said he was playing the digital remaster. I could not convince him that some magic was missing. You poor kids.
it sort of looks like this conversation inspired Seth to do ted with motion capture. for those who dont know hes got a movie coming where he plays a stoner teddy bear using motion capture.
I hate adoring fan idiots like half the people in the comments who, just because one of these famous people said CG is bad, suddenly can't help but comment on how they're right and special effects from 40 years ago would be better in movies today... If someone YOU know had said it, you would've berated them to no end.
Most ironically, you got FAVREAU dissing CGI years ago and all of you are AGREEING with him... haven't you seen Ironman or Ironman 2 ? Buncha hypocrites.
@TheTravisChannel I'm totally with Jon on CG. The original Star Wars series looks so much better than the new ones. I hate CG. It's just rarely done well.
@TheTravisChannel It can ruin a film. That was the part that made me REALLY dislike Ultraviolet, and why I can't watch most Sci-Fi channel original films.
6:07 how many of us would have liked to use that card against our high school teachers. Better yet, to pick up a girl and take her to your place rather than your parents lol.
i never get tired of this show for some reason. maybe it's being able to actually relate to the guests, but i just love this show. simple concept, brilliantly executed. ifc is so great.
me neither i gotta agree with what they said about it not being where they think it is technology wise. It does look interesting and new but it rarely impresses me.
CG is computer generation. On that note, I'm two generations younger than Favs, and I agree with his point on Star Wars: more realistic, but they can do more w/ the new stuff.
Faster computers equals more polygons. In five maybe ten years you'll start to see the CG world really come to life. Modelers, Texture Artists, Animators, etc. all have great imaginations. They're only limited by the technologies that drive them.
I don't think it's possible for Jon Heder to be more worthless. This show has confirmed it. His lack of any sort of talent just shrivels him in comparison to these guys.
I totally agree with him. CG is HORRIBLE. I was one of the people who LOVED it when Tron and Last Starfighter first came out. I saw so much potential for it. But now that I've actually seen what they've done, I'm very disappointed. It's all so desaturated and bleeeeh. I don't know what it is, but something just isn't right!
Depends on the application. Jurassic Park still stands the test of time, but Polar Express will fade. Its always to remember a tool is a tool, not a magic wand. CG works if used as an accent to good writing and acting, not to be the showcase of the project.
i disagree - i think the iron man movie would be much better without the new-fangled CGI graphics. Cos EVERY new movie has it and it looks crap - as he says, its like the old Yoda vs. the new CGI version, it looks TERRIBLE and fake.
Superman originally flew without CGI. Not perfect, but it felt real. Although the new Superman deserves SOME props for CGI, it still didnt feel real. Its a contrast and movement issue, along with matching film grain.
Stacy Peralta looks like Louie CK. They both are Legends, who do not hamper this world.
