special effects used to take so much work, and now take 1/100th of the time on the computer, so technically movies should be BETTER nowadays, and yet they are wose
And the effects look like video games,a guy in my home state built a 8 foot long star destroyer for a few hundred bucks!,and shot it in 4k on a phone and it looked stunning! compared to the one in the latest Star Wars movie. that cost millions! the old effects using miniatures practical effects using real light still blow all this computer stuff away,the more i look around people miss the old ways more and more the excitement for the Dark Crystal prequels using real puppets is a sign! for example and people are getting sick of CGI... their is hope but i think it is up to fans and small studios.
Unpopular opinion: I feel like most of the VFX Shots in the Indy movies really aren’t that great. They’re just fine. The best effects in the movie are the practical ones. The sets, the action scenes, and the melting face etc. The actual VFX shots that involve the ghosts and all that, and some green screen shots, at least to me, look a little more fake. They’re certainly more entertaining than swinging monkeys, but I feel like the all right effects off Crystal Skull are pretty much on par for our time just as it is for that time. The only problem is that it is an Indiana Jones movie. They spent so much time wanting the practical stuff to look good that they forgot that the visual effects were supposed to complement that. This is why the Crystal Skull VFX shots, the puzzling amount of weird moments like the gophers that there were, kind of don’t work. It’s almost like for Indiana Jones movies, the VFX shots are more of a curse for them than anything, especially since the practical stuff is more of their niche.
God, no wonder George had enough with ROTJ. He wanted to move onto other things, and I can't blame him. On the other hand, he culd have made things *slightly* easier on himself by letting the director of ROTJ do his job without George constantly interrupting him.
They used the cairo swordsman and indiana Jones kenner action figures for the mine cart test footage. That's awesome.

Love seeing how ILM create their special effects. Fantastic.

@@thefirstbourne149 Special effects in Indy 1-3 are more organic and vastly superior to Indy 4.
I always thought the leap of faith was CGI, I guess someone being able to paint that good was just incomprehensible
Awesome doc
EXCELLENT STUFF !!!
