RE: Modern Visual Effects In Film - Is There Too Much Reliance On Computer Generated Imagery (CGI)?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I agree about the authenticity of actors performances surrounded by green screens.
But I don't think it's the CGI that is ruining the capability to create great stories. Because the script comes way before any graphic work.
I think the real problem is that story writers are so busy trying to create something new, alternative, but also accomodating for everyone, that they tend to forget the basis of good storytelling.
There are rules for writing good emotional stories that date back centuries ago and always worked. But it seems lately they've been forgotten

Man I do like your deep thinking, it's very impressive you know. You are absolutely correct when you say the script comes before any graphic work, the script is the most important part of a film, without it there is no film. Anything related to post production or graphic works is usually a secondary consideration, for good reasons.
Another great point you make is in relation to storytelling. These days television producers, filmmakers and especially Hollywood are far more interested in characters and 'wowing' audiences with the latest technological development than they are in telling a good story. It seems that the story is less important these days, but it shouldn't be. Characters are important of course they are but you need a good story.
There are indeed very well established universal principles for good storytelling and I couldn't agree more with you - lately they have been forgotten.
Where do you hang out online? It would be good to have a real time chat with you and discuss potential Hive and non-Hive related stuff. I am thinking of using HiveStreams.Live to create a weekly hangout or show, did you see the earlier post? Didn't know if you would be interested in making a contribution to the show, a music performance or something?
Thank you 😊 today I'm going to see how Hivestream works. When you start streaming I'll come to visit if I can.
And I would love to contribute to the show. My English speaking could be a little rusty 😅 but that doesn't stop me at all.
If you wanna chat a bit, usually Instagram dms are my go to. But I also have discord if you prefer. I just have to remember to open it every now and then ahah
