Why doesn't CGI scare me as much as janky practical effects?
>>215531700Your brain has an easier time subconsciously registering CGI is fake because it's still just imperfect enough where the physics / visuals can't perfectly capture reality.
>>215531700because Steven King is a genius.and basically your retarded.
>>215531700Because your brain knows its fake too well.
>>215531813My retarded what?
>>215531700Why do boomers think fake puppets look better than good CGI?
>>215531700A reminder Horror is the stupidest genre of movies, only enjoyed by 10 year old edgelord boys and the retarded men that groom them.
>>215531700I wish his brother would've kicked his ass
>>215531853Boomers love puppets for some reason
>>215532912Puppets are based
>>215531853It does... Fucking idiot. Go gen this same scene with AI and it will still look like shit. Go ahead I fucking dare you coward. CGI is a shit cheap excuse
those effects aren't "janky" OPthere is literally not a better way to create a screen-ready demonic clown monster than that scenethe makeup looks like a professional clown, the teeth look real, the contact application is perfect without any drifting.it just takes elbow grease and it probably only cost 200 bucks altogether
>>215531721This, even the most turbo realistic billion dollar CGI is still clearly fake. Practical effects even if "fake" are in the real world.It's also why practical effects virtually don't age but CGI does and like milk. In films that use both like say, Alien 3 the CGI parts are clearly aged like a motherfucker while the practical scenes are as good as on release.
>>215531853>he has to SPECIFICALLY talk about knowingly the worse practical effects compared to "good CGI" to have a winNow compare the best of both, little zoomeroid
>>215531853It's like a religious belief that they will zealously defend until the death.
>>215531700Old effects were usually done in camera adding an extra layer of realism, but not so real as to be 'realistic'. Gave a surreal effect instead, which added to the dream-like nature of it.Like stop-motion which was used in this scene.
>>215534068Is this bait? The spinosaur from JP3 looked like a joke. Even any CGI from that time 20 years ago looked better lol
>>215531700Actors are able to effectively play off of something that's actually there. Furthermore, it forces whatever it is to move realistically through the environment, giving it weight.CGI is often very floaty and out of place. There's also the temptation to show the creature constantly, which isn't scary. Suspense is what's scary. Take The Mothman Prophecies for example, where you don't see anything most of the time.
>>215534995I don't see an AI or CGI image proving your pointI only see that you are retarded
>>215535569ayo this unc scared of puppets lmao
>>215535692There is literally nothing scary about CGI or puppets
>>215531700Because Tim Curry did so much cocaine that it made him a cripple. You don't get that kind of talent nowadays.
>>215531700The soulless eyes are scarier than the sharp teeth
>>215531700For me is the sligthy bulbous head that subtly suggest some monster is disguising itself.
>>215531700Because practical effects are real. Its a real thing standing there with real blood and goo dripping off it. CGI is fake. Its a non existent thing being placed in a shot after the fact. The lighting, how it moves, how its constructed. There will always be something off about CGI and your brain knows it
>>215531700Because Tim Curry's acting makes Pennywise seem approachable and chummy while still being off. To an adult he seems creepy of course, but you can understand why a child would be confused right up to the moment when he pounces. Also they juxatposed his red/white unnatural presence with the normal surroundings better, he visually looks out of place and strange.In the new movies they fucked his up by making him look just too horror creepy from the start, so the pretense that he's some giddy goofy clown is never there to begin with. also his palette matches the surroundings always so again he just doesn't look so strangely normal but out of place, like it did in the miniseries.
>>215536951Wrong. Its not real. Its not real blood. Its not a real robot. Its not a real dinosaur etc. Modern day CGI absolutely mogs practical effects. Just look at Avatar. It would look like shit if it was all puppets.
The entire town of Derry looked fake as shit. I couldn't suspend my retard brain and enjoy it. Why can't they film in a real American town?
>>215531813Stephen King's books suck. Only the movie adaptations make him look better than he is. He's a great idea's man, but his storytelling is fucking boring as shit.
>>215534348the death of what?
practical effects actually look tangible no matter how silly they might be executed
>>215537692It does look like shit and 20 years will show that like every single time.
>>215534221I love practical effects and I love Alien, but there's that one practical effect of a guy clearly in an Alien costume moving towards the camera that did absolutely age like milk.
Because “bad” looking practical effects still look like they’re physically there. If anything the fact you can tell it doesn’t look “real” can add to the grotesque nature of it CGI effects in comparison still looks way too artificial to be as scary as regular practicalGood comparison in the same movie I would say. Is how Bill Skarsgard with prosthetics and makeup on looks way scarier than any single CGI monster we also see in either of the IT movies (not that they were particularly scary movies anyway but there’s a noticeable difference between scaring audiences and the kind of “safe scare” where they are more meant to be excited I guess)
>>215531721It's not only imperfect, it's actually wildly fluctuating in quality, and is spammed so much that humans are being trained and are evolving to notice it by being over exposed to it.Same reason why A.I. shit is going to take a very very long time indeed to catch up to other effects, because human beings are being overexposed to it and are being rapidly trained to spot it. I personally doubt A.I. imaging and videos will ever be good enough because the people using them are so irresponsible.
>>215538500Just look at this stupid thing, they really couldn’t make some old lady monster prosthetics? Sam Raimi did that on a student film budget in the eighties
>>215538513This is true but wouldn’t kids who grow up in the age of AI be so overexposed they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between AI and reality anyway?Especially since any recordings they would make themselves would use filters and shit
>practical effects are bette-ACK!
>>215531700IT scared me when I was 6 years old. When I watched it as an adult I enjoyed it and found it almost comedic, especially the ending where they all crowd around the spider monster and start punching and kicking it then hold its heart up in the air.
>>215538692This looks stupid as fuck. Like something from a Tim Burton flick.
>>215537692>lil unc has no picture or webm as a exampleCrashing out fr
>>215531700>>215538500I respect the fact they realized they would never top Tim Curry so they went in a completely different direction
The spider from the 1990 version felt like it came out of nowhere. When I was a kid, I thought the spider was like a miniboss they had to defeat before finally facing Pennywise himself. But no, they kill it and that’s the end. Very disappointing. At least in the new version the spider still looks like a clown.
>>215531853Fake puppets look uncanny and thus scary. CGI will forever look fake.
>>215538923>Tim BurtonAugustus Gloop, Augustus Gloop...
>>215540391I think the Tim Burton Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was the moment I realized excess CGI was an abomination.
>>215531700the jank introduces that uncanny valley element whereas cgi just looks like a goofy videogame
>>215540391Graped.
>>215531700Because CGI is smooth while practical effects (stop motion/claymation in particular) tend to be jerky and jarring.It has nothing to do with your brain registering CGI as fake however like this retard >>215531721 is saying, but because the sudden movement is unlike how real living things move.
