The goal of special effects shouldn't necessarily be to look realistic, they should be works of art themselves and help create a mood or tell a story.'
So are they saying that CGI artists are not artists? I know a lot of people who would disagree.
We ought to be more eclectic with how we approach this topic (using either CGI or props).
CGI rendering of light/shadows and understanding these relationships on a physical object are two really different endeavors.
For example, you deal with texture, shape, motion, and light in distinctly different steps with CGI. These properties are all different steps in rendering; with a sculpture or prop you have the option to see how everything comes together right away. Props require no computer screens and the actors can respond emotionally with something physical.
I doubt that many movie makers want to make the decision to completely replace props.
There's nothing saying that this is a question of either/or.
CGI is just another medium that should be used appropriately.
How long have we been talking about this end? If anything console development is simply slowing and giving way to add-on devices (PS3 move, kinect, etc). As far as I can see game industry is stronger than ever.
It seems our technology continues to expand in all directions and then collapse into a single device. TVs, PCs, and phones are becoming part of the same thing.
Actually, threats like these may persuade tens of thousands to move to credit unions and causing measurable losses in already hurting big banks. Sometimes anticipation of an attack is more important than the follow-through.
