P.S. One of the most prolific directors of our time, David Fincher, is a great example of someone who mostly manages to use the new, digital possibilities in a sensible and quality-enhancing manner. Here's a short (2 minutes) video for instance that shows the digital visual effects that subtly improved the experience of his newest film,
Gone Girl (which was of course shot and edited digitally). He fools us without losing visual integrity. I bet you didn't notice these effects when watching the movie.
Click on it. Because of privacy settings, you have to watch it on vimeo. Being both subdued and effective when using the new tools digital film technology is offering us, has become an art by itself...
that's damn impressive! I didn't know there was so much green screen in that movie. I'd heard that some of the skies and lighting and weather effects had been added in post production but I had no idea that some of those buildings/interiors were sets.
See, this here is how special effects on digital film should be used, Finchers managed to create a warm environment at times, without becoming sterile like the Star Wars prequels.
