Was anyone else glad to see Duncan Jones opted not to use CGI in creating Moon's special effects?While there were only a few shots that took place outside of the moon base, the models they used for these shots functioned very well. I would be interested to know whether the move was to save cost or meant as a purposeful tribute to 70's and 80's sci-fi.

I was glad CGI wasn't used as much as it usually is. I know we touched on it a little in class but sometimes it feels like CGI ruined Star Wars. I know I personally love puppet Yoda way more than CGI Yoda. I was really let down when I realized that Yoda had changed from the original 3. He didn't feel as real to me. I think Mary Grace said something about how we can't relate as well to CGI characters and that was certainly true for me.
ReplyDeleteAs for whether the decision in Moon was based on funding or tribute, I would guess funding. Everything is about money these days...
