Re:CGI Versus Traditional effects
[quote=”Shiroekitsune”]Space = no sound, tech/directors have said that you have to fake this for the audience other wise ppl wont watch it. Means add sound!

That is far too vague for me. What is meant by “people”?
And how did they come to this conclusion and under what circumstance? How is it tested. How is it determined? What examples are used to test “people”?
What is the true meaning of this, how is it determined?
…
Does it mean they think they will make 53 million instead of 52.6 million. Does “people” mean 53 percent of an audience?
What are the demographics of the “people” sample in terms of income, cultural classs and so many other factors of the polled sample?
…
Is this the process of major corporations “levelling” society. What that means is suppose we give a movie classification of “M” for the Moron social class. So the corporations determine that making an “M” class movie will get a 678% return on investment and making a “N” (Normal to one Standard Deviation above ) will only get a 525% ROI. So they make the “M” class.
But that is not all, they have to control the market, so they try to elimate their own studios and other studios from making any competitive movies. They want control of the market and so snuff out any “N” or superior class products. Thank God they can’t completely and thank God for Indies, but they do try.
…
Now if you think that idea is Science Fiction, rest assured that Miramax bought up the rights to the Chinese movie “HERO” (tricked the original producers) in order to snuff it so it couldn’t win any Oscars for Foreign Film in that year against Miramax’s other products. Then they took the movie released it two years later for American audiences and changed it to dumb it down for the “M” class…. citing “the original wouldn’t go over”.. whatever that really meant.
No Scifi story there.
Now about sound and silence, sure movie makers can make effective use of silence or they can use music scores, but using wind effects is totally unnecessary. And another factor, Aren’t they in fact conditioning audineces to become ADD and “M” class? By not allowing anything else they are training the audience to expect the “M” effect. It is not a one way street, what audiences see, is what they learn to expect.

I’ve seen bad CGI on top of the line Hollywood movies. It still has a long long way to go.ar
