District 9 Interview #6 of 6: Effects Technical Director - Vancouver Film School (VFS)

[Eitht1987]

Visual effects may exist is almost every film nowadays. Try to enjoy the movies & story instead of comparing effects, it kills all the fun about watching them. D:

Cheers!

Not to slag this film but it was nothing special to me. I heard all of these things about it and went to check it out. Its nothing i have not seen a thousand times already. I LOVE visual effects i grew up in the era of the great visual effects films. But i find CGI graphics all look the same to me now. Every company uses practically the same software. I have seen the guy in the cool walking bot. Seen the guy in the cool suit. I find it getting very over done and dull.

I just can't believe it, movies with 10 times the budget of this film don't look half as good in quality of CG work. Love this film, just amazing...

These behind the film videos are great for students. And I loved it when this guy said it took him 4 or 5 months for his shot, and that he said "I'm a lot faster now". Makes you realize that we all start somewhere and just work hard after that.
