I didn't even know they had CGI in 1989.
You don't know anything
>>153529704They had CGI as far back as 1972.https://youtube.com/watch?v=naGntYNTSQM
>>153529704Yeah.
>>153529704That's cool. Most examples of really early cg I see are just movies and this >>153529769
>>153529704They didn't. What they called CGI back then was an effect achieved with boiled leather stretched over aluminum frames.
>>153529704https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyGfxCxnZW0 It's older than you'd think.
>>153530108those demos from the 70s are a lot less primitive than i would've imagined them being
I saw this weird looking animation from the 60s that had a CGI Uncle Sam ball, might have been 70s but it was very early>>153529728It's better to be unwise and happy than to be wise and unhappy
Pre Toy Story CGI is really cool and interesting actuallyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbFEQv259ywIf you absolutely need a dose of CGI, check out "Mind's Eye an Animation Odyssey" (it's a compilation of shorts made by a bunch of companies and artists) and "Ultimate History of CGI" (youtube channel about film effects and shorts)
>>153530778very cool, yes
>>153530778I saw this on Night Flight!
>>153530605>It's better to be unwise and happy than to be wise and unhappyahclassic cuck behavioryou need the baby gloves to live lifestay virgin and kill your genepool
>>153530778I always wondered how audiences felt seeing this in 83https://youtu.be/XEThq9sayD8?si=Pp7UXSNB0XfnI0ZK
>>153529704bro needs to see a dentist
>>153529704Was this guy in every episode?
>>153529704They knew about Osama
>>153529769little faggot
>>153534605bin Laden?
>>153534605osamu sato?
>>153529735Wow for 1972 that's really not bad at all
>>153530605It is better to be jaded and left alone than the fool who is easily tempted
>>153529704I knew a guy that worked on CGI for Tron, which came out in '82.
>>153530080>What they called CGI back then was an effect achieved with boiled leather stretched over aluminum framesWhat?
>>153535435We were funding his regime's fight against the Soviet Union's occupation in Afghanistan.
>>153537671Well this scene frok escape from new york wasn't done using CGI (CGI was too expensive for the movie budget) so they just took the new york model they had and put luminescent tape on it to look like it was computer model.
>>153530108I wish Tyler didn't abandon his channels.
I really appreciate the artistic sensibilities of early CGI because of how, even for the time, they had to do more with less. And a lot of it still looks incredibly beautifulhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFoRJ5w2eEMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwOwRH4JpXchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhGz_7mYnj4

>>153529704Oliver And Company made noticeable use of it for all the car scenes the year before.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXvHvmCjmeohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUO7VhzaUBU
>>153529769>Little faggots
>>153534566he was in any episode where they watched tv in the neitherworld probably, he's in at least one of the two versions of the opening too

>>153537711God I love practical effects.
>>153540643It's becoming a lost art, but those effects hold up. With as much as Hollywood is shitting the bed lately and as accessible as filmmaking technology has become, I'm surprised that there aren't more enterprising filmmakers embracing some of these old techniques again. While I wouldn't expect the use of practical effects on the scale of Star Wars or anything, you can do an awful lot with very little to help boost production values of a film.
>>153529769I want my...I want my...
>>153541090Reboot?
>>153529769Take me back...
>>153542137Nah, man. Tony's gone.
>>153540737star wars literally never stopped building practical effects and everybody bitched about the CGI like it was all they didthat whole thing with the pod race arena for example is a practical model and a few practical sets with minimal chroma sheets in back, you only see cgi crowds for movement, flags and the racers, and a few big bits in close up for aliensbut the idiots are convinced that the whole thing was rendered and the live actors were chroma'd in, and it's easier to have them focus on that than to have the focus be on Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan calling each other up on lady razors sprayed silverthere were a few fully chroma/CGI elements in each movie but they were more about experimentation (which is why Star Wars is Star Wars - it was always a testbed for new effects tech, at a time when the only other people doing new stuff were Richard Donner and James Cameron) and they're pretty impressivebut again the idiots would rather complain about actors having to pretend, like standing in front of a theater of 500 people pretending to be king of denmark yakking with a dead guy's skull is somehow more honest and believable work>>153540737the problem with a shot like this is that it takes a long time to set up, and if you actually need to have the performers in it the size of the crew is much bigger than just the grips, camera, lighting guy and directornot to mention the cost of already having scouted locations, worked out where you can film from, what time of year (if you need to shoot in a dry riverbed ... don't fuck that up), then get all that information to the various departments so they can co-ordinatein a lot of ways sending it to a bunch of animators and saying "we want a mountain fortress" isn't just cheaper, it's more reliable because it takes away 1000 potential points of failure
