Electric cameras have RUINED movies. SMH my head can't believe cameramen these days are too lazy to crank the camera. Theres that subtle, imperfect look that you just DON'T GET with modern gimmicks like "stable images" (postmodernist drivel)

    I don't have strong feelings about CGI but the difference I see is that better video technology increases fidelity (realness), while CGI isn't real to begin with.

      better video technology increases fidelity (realness), while CGI isn’t real to begin with.

      That's the interesting thing though, I remember back when they first released the 60fps version of Jackson's Hobbit, and everybody was mad because at that degree of fidelity they could tell that the prosthetic noses for the Dwarves were obviously fake.

        Do dwarf noses jiggle or something? Weird that frame rate would reveal the fakery rather than resolution or something. At any rate (pun intended) it still increases the fidelity of what you're actually recording.

      CGI is fine in its place. See Jurassic Park, Terminator 2 where they used early CGI extremely effectively and to its strengths. I don't like everything being CGI just for the hell of it.
