特技效果死亡

我儿子和我去看 废船 当新的奇迹演播室影片在奥克拉荷马市和我们两个最近开始在电影留下深刻印象对CGI元素的无缝的本质。  当我们从剧院驾驶，我们开始谈论怎么摄制技术演变了，拍电影象 废船 并且 铁人 可能。  我告诉了他关于我有的`gee专家’感觉当我看见了时 星战争 第一次在一家小的电影院在Sugarland，得克萨斯后面在70s末期和我们起动群策群力关于未来影片。  很快，完全地被创造的普遍的星将开发- i。e、他们的声音和特点将由计算机整个地引起。  当不可避免的改善发生在CGI，很快常看电影的人不会能说出活演员和计算机造出的字符之间的差别。  并且突然，我们将有`演员’谁可能逐字地看同样上百年。  想象跨过两三个世纪的故事情节-甚至千年-它可能发生。

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!
