If it looks worse than real life then don't do it.
JJ's use of CGI from what I have seen is some of the best around mainly because it's used only when needed and thankfully they have already announced that SW7 will head back to the more traditional costumes and puppetry and more to the point use actual real locations. All of the above made the prequels a trial to watch.
Well used CGI in conjunction with real life and puppets, etc and this film should look amazing at the very least.
JJ has promised to cut down on the lens flare too.  |
Jackson explains why he uses CGI and IMHO he uses it effectively. The use actors and props to create real scenes is not always achievable. With that scene link from the Hobbit you posted how would you suggest Jackson complete that scene without CGI? Yes Jackson pushes CGI to the limits but he is way better at mastering the use of CGI than Lucas. Lucas was like a child in a candy store in regards to his use of CGI. It added nothing to his original SW trilogy and was poorly done. It was done recklessly and he was arrogant about it all. He had a trilogy icon which he ruined with his use of CGI and now the trilogy will not be remember for how well the originals were but how bad the CGI enhanced re-released versions were. Plus Jackson is a far better story teller than Lucas. Yes I am biased..I am a huge fan of Jackson's LOTR and Hobbit trilogies.
