A morte de efeitos especiais

Meus filho e eu fomos ver O Hulk quando a película nova do estúdio da maravilha abriu na cidade de Oklahoma recentemente, e nós ambos fomos imprimidos com a natureza sem emenda dos elementos do cgi no filme.? Enquanto nós dirigimos longe do teatro, nós começamos falar sobre como a tecnologia do película evoluiu, fazendo películas como O Hulk e Homem do ferro possível.? Eu disse-lhe sobre sentimento que do gee-whiz do `' eu tive quando eu vi Guerras da estrela para a primeira vez em um teatro pequeno do filme em Sugarland, a parte traseira de Texas no 70s atrasado, e nós começamos o brainstorming sobre o futuro da película.? Logo, as estrelas populares tornar-se-ão que são criadas completamente que é, suas vozes e as características serão geradas inteiramente por computadores.? Com as melhorias inevitáveis que ocorrem no cgi, logo os movie-goers não dizem a diferença entre atores vivos e caráteres computer-generated.? E de repente, nós teremos atores do `' quem pode olhar o mesmo para literalmente centenas dos anos.? Imagine que um storyline que meça um par dos séculos - ou mesmo um millennium - ele poderia acontecer.

But what happens when the ‘gee-whiz’ wears off?? My grandchildren will take CGI technology for granted, because they’ll grow up in a time when it’s the norm, instead of something that’s new and exciting.? I’ll admit, I’ve gone to a few films where the only redeeming quality was the power of its special effects.? But what will happen when special effects aren’t ’special’ anymore?

That’s easy - writing will become more important again.? The story will become more critical to the success of a film than its visuals.? Hollywood comes full circle.

Just think about the ‘website craze’ when the Internet was relatively new to public use.? A million sites sprang up that had plenty of flash - but no real content.? Predictably, those content-poor websites withered on the vine, and justly so.? As the World Wide Web has become more mature, the emphasis has shifted away from sites with scrolling marquees to sites that are content-rich.? Only the strong survive.

The same thing will happen in film.? Great CGI effects won’t be enough to keep an audience’s attention.? In fact today, the best movie is the one with both:? great special effects and a great storyline.? Marvel’s Spider-man franchise is a good example.

So, I’m excited about the future of film.? As a person who would rather read a well-written book than see a poorly-written movie, I’ll welcome the soon-to-appear improvement in scripts and dialogue.

And besides, with all this new CGI wizardry, maybe someone will be brave enough to make a movie of the Foundation Trilogy.? You could stretch that excellent storyline over a couple of centuries!
