Practical effects are better than CG-

How good do practical effects look on HD cameras?

Wait was op trying to say cg looks better than this?

Yes. Fucking zoomers.

It's astounding how most of the CGI in Jurassic Park has held up better than a large majority of the MCU CGI

Well one is a legendary magical sword to be fair

>guy is obviously holding the spear under his arm

Wouldn't say "most of it". Depends on the lighting and how obscured by rain things are.

I'd rather watch that then some PS4 graphics.

Excalibur was a hell of a film. I always enjoy watching King Arthur stuff, they tend to be different in an enjoyable way.

You can completely tell it's real armor too. It's incredibly striking to see Perceval (I think?) ride through some village of mud-cacked peasants on his white horse and gleaming silver armor. I can't forget it. You can really tell the costuming in other fantasy is just shiny plastic in comparison.

>I
And you're goddamn fucking right it is.

The last 5 of those 14 years where wasted giving advice to fags, I'd say it makes sense

Just because it's real doesn't mean it feels real

Avatar felt more real than anything in that webm

what I mean is, sure the armors are real, but everything else is fake
fake backgrounds, awful acting

CGI can make everything look like it's really happening

CGI hasn't done that since 1993

Both are tools and have their proper place when used with care and restraint. This is the only right answer.

Don't agree. Excalibur combines a sense of weight and realism from men clambering around in armor with dreamlike editing and portentous dialogue to realize the myth on the silver screen. It feels real and and unreal at once.

>used with care and restraint
like your brother I MEAN your mother
fuck sake, why did I CGI this reply

>Every History teacher fast forwards the sex scene.

It's done it more often than practical effects

The fuck is wrong with you

Would you rather believe the falseness withing reality or the truth hidden behind falseness?

Real life settings, practical effects, but all done in a fake manner because of practical limitations leads you to a lie that looks pretty in stills but dreadful in motion.

Computer generated images may be fake, but they remain truthful within their fake setting. Everything is real in a way, the CGI man stabs a CGI man, instead of a real life man pretending to stab a real life man. It feels like a real action within an artificial, but it's actions that matter in the end

Knights didn't 'clamber' around in armour.
It was tailor made stuff of the highest quality, like wearing a slightly heavier suit.

whoosh

Oh I understood your dumbass attempt at a joke, what I was replying to was your shitty stream of consciousness post there champ.

Also, whoosh is a Reddit joke so congrats on outing yourself there

They clamber because they are exhausted from searching from the grail for months and years on end. They stumble climbing rocky hills in the cold and fog. They are surrounded by rioting peasants, and, and knocked from their horses with blunt weapons. They are bound and hung by their enemies, and fight them by wrestling till exhaustion. They clamber a lot.

I haven't watched capeshit since avengers with the rare exceptions that don't fit into the MCU, so can anybody explain to me the context of this scene or is it as retarded as it looks.

Turns out you were a tool to be used
You thick cunt
Don't post anything so fucking stupid again newfag

Look it's everyone's favorite know it all. I'm surprised you didn't mention that knights could do cartwheels and swim in their armor.

Remember when movies actually used colors?

For being over a quarter of a century old, I'd say it's aged fucking brilliantly.

CGI was a novelty that wore off decades ago

>guy is obviously reacting to being struck by a CGI spear

Kubrick's Waterloo had over 17,000 Soviet soldiers recreating the battle and will probably always be the best battle scene of all time.

Because most of it isn't CGI. They used it only where they absolutely had to.

You never watched the BTS of Jurassic Park have you?

agreed

CGI is usually only good when it's not the focus, or when used to touch up practical effects.

it's a little rough, like a tiny bit, but considering how long ago that was... that shit's contemporary with videogames on the SNES and Genesis. put that in perspective a little bit. Jurassic Park is a masterwork (not just for the dinos either, the whole execution).

The armor was fake. Aluminum.

80% of the tree is black so that’s easy, then there’s heavy rain that helps a lot, some of the daytime cgi looks terrible tho

I unironically like this more than CGI because it looks tangible. CGI almost always looks cartoonish and even when it works the subconscious can sort of pick up on the fact that something is wrong. I still think CGI has a place in film but it needs to be seriously toned the fuck down, it's out of control in films ever since that human turd George Lucas started this trend with his gay prequels.

What timeline are you from

holy fuck this is the most intense and powerful thing. what is this from

>George Lucas started this trend with his gay prequels.
plebs have mistaken his miniature sets for bad CGI for years

What they did that most modern cgi doesnt do is had realistic movement. When you have king kong running around fast like he weighs 5 pounds your brain recognizes something is wrong.

you are a pleb because you think it matters that miniatures were used as a basis for what was 100% covered over with cgi polygons. Also if you take a photo of a thing and warp it and put textures on it with computers, that's cgi, in the sense of soulless dreck even if it's not polygons

Whatever you say dude. These scenes look virtually like cartoons to me:

Nice b8. This looks fantastic.

oh my god these are funny. i haven't seen these in high definition as an adult. The compositing is the worst it's like from a playstation FMV game hahaha,

The only thing I love about the prequels is Natalie Portman's ass in those tight white pants.

You lost by posting that fight.

the thing is i really like the look of 90s hard-light cgi. like pre-rendered backgrounds etc. but you can't fucking put live action humans in front of it especially without even lining up so its the same angle etc

>sword stabbing through armor
sick of this meme

>The groans she makes when that weird monster thing rips the middle of her shirt off and cuts her back.

It's literally fucking Excalibur and he put his weight into it.

>no feathers
>holding up

I think another problem with this battle scene, aside from the ridiculous cartoonish CGI was the fact that when you first watch this you kind of don't even know who is fighting who, which ships belong to which people. In the OT the rebels have distinct features and the empire had unique features. You could tell what was happening and who was winning. Here it just looks like a bunch of explosions and robots and cloned armies shooting. And on another layer when you think about it CLONES vs ROBOTS = no stakes. A clone is literally just a human copy, a robot is just a robotic copy. We don't get much of a feel for the size variation or the landscape. It's just flying around explosions lasers. I think most viewers were lost during these scenes. If you don't know what is happening your brain just shuts off and you just look at it like fireworks in the sky, it's so abstract.

what is excalibur

Ever seen cgi gunshots? Goddamn that will never look not terrible, along with cgi blood and cgi blood soaking a cloth, so bad. Now compare that to Robocops gunshot fxs.

They add cgi food cgi animals everything cgi, lazy pieces of shit.

A magic sword that is older than civilization.

inb4 banned

Because they used cgi sparingly (theres like 5 or 6 minutes of it in the movie) and used it with conjunction with practical effects. Also the parts that look really great are during the night scenes.

aluminium
king arthur's english

It was supposed to be styled like a play and it did a good job of doing it.

>Peace had cost him strength. Victory had defeated him.

Fixed.

The actors are literally fighting to the death and you're worried about special effects? You're sick.

>that looks pretty in stills but dreadful in motion.
You got it backwards, it's CGI that looks good in stills since you can easily bake in the lighting. It's when you need the CGI to move with animation that you get clipping and lighting issues that make it look like ass.

is that an asian retard?

aluminium wasn't a word in King Arthur's time. And wasn't it discovered in america and called Aluminum first?

Excalibur is still one of my favourite movies.

What game?

I don't remember the music being this effective. I felt genuine tension watching this.

Why do they have to cgi two dudes hitting veach other with shields ?

I?

Looks like a play in a good way.
