I’m with you on that man. The art of making a movie is dead and it’s a damn shame. I think the last great movie set was lord of the ring in the late 90’a early 2000’s. That was epic, in both senses of the word.
The old Star Wars movie sets were so much better and cooler than the new bullshit CGI they put out today. There’s no personality to it, no feeling that you could be right there with them since they looked as real as they were with enhancements to the shot placement and stuff.
I’ve got such good memories watching Star Wars at my grandfathers house in his spare bedroom, which was my moms old room, and it being on an old CRT screen with VHS tapes. Those were the damn days man! Empire strikes back on that thing is still fresh in my memory, thanks for bringing me back a few decades.
In the old Star Wars movies I love looking at the sets and props and seeing every day items used to make them. It's funny and cool to see something; I'm like, there's a length of plastic agriculture pipe! You know? It sort of takes me back to when I'd use stuff as a kid to make a spaceship or fort or whatever.
The new movies are cool, I mean it's incredible what they do, but I lament the loss of (human) ingenuity in set design in deference to CGI.
Yeah I loved seeing the everyday stuff they put in the movies. So many of the droids and areas they are in have things we had in our house it was cool.
The CGI is ok for flying and stuff but I hate when they do it for the fight scenes. I think revenge of the sith it was the most egregious example of how ridiculous it was and not at all realistic. It was pretty bad lol
Oh yeah, the droids are a great example of them having used every day things to put them together - I think it'd be a great job, the design and creation of stuff like that.
