Did those white avengers outfits ever exist practically?
Ryudo932
Or, y'know, just find a corn field.

Thx been looking for this
JReene
Far From Home was probably the best use of canon CGI I've seen in a while. That movie was fun to watch.
Silnt39
Thor Ragnarok. Fucking masterpiece.
krapmyself
It must be cheaper than building entire sets
Kalid19
It blows my mind that some of the costumes weren't even real. (Like the time travel suits in endgame)
WinnerWinnerChickenD
*then, no oh wait
GerberLegalTeam
I feel like modern movies are basically just cgi movies with live actors sometimes.
roach79
It’s way cheaper bc VFX artists are over worked and underpaid. Often burnt out and thrown away.
totallyrealname
That, and outsourcing to "poorer" countries, resulting in lowered cost all round, and a de-valuation of the skills involved.
Housemaster
That, plus if you need to change something it can be done in post instead of rebuilding and reshooting.
DeeDoubleYu
Yeah I think that was the thing with the suits in endgame, they hadn't decided on the concept for it so cgi baybee
thingifound
Much cheaper. Epic games engine can be used even to use a tablet to view the scene in a demo like version for the director too. UE4 rocks
Sikiki1313
True real time is the future specifically with rtx
thingifound
dosent even need to be rtx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bErPsq5kPzE&feature=emb_logo

So they can get a real train but they can't get real fucking corn? (1922)
Blackfinity
Movies aren't movies anymore.
KorbenDallasMultipass
Please tell me they didn't spend a lot for the dog in Good Omens.
AyumiMelon
Remember you knew what was animated vs background by the different color style back in the day
idontlikepickingusername
Corridor Crew on YouTube is an interesting watch
Smallwater
This. Their reaction videos are great, it really gives you a new appreciation for SFX and stuntwork.
crann
Ok. Looks like I need to look into A Monster Calls, 1922, and The Terror. Didn't even know about those.
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Monster calls is just a super duper sad escapism story.
DrunkChristian
It's super well done though I loved it
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Oh I loved it too it just kinda guy punches you because I didn't feel like that's how it presented itself initially.
DrunkChristian
True I got bridge of terabithia vibes at first, I need to watch this movie again.
QuietGiant
Vouching for A Monster Calls. Be ready for a sad one, though.
iamthecomet
This is why I preferred acting in theatre. I can't imagine the skills this takes to stay in character.
khora
As opposed to see a dark sea of people in one direction and stagehands and props in two?
iamthecomet
You don't look at the people, you look above them. And I don't know, it's just easier for me. I can't imagine this.
HyunJ00n
Dont worry, even Sir Ian Mckellen himself struggled with green screen acting.
iamthecomet
(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
nobletortoise
Awesome.
GoodAfternoonMyNameIsRussel
I now have more questions
idontlikepickingusername
Computers
khora
Digital artists.
mydickwhen
While I appreciate the beauty of modern cgi and recognize the skill involved, I can’t imagine this is much fun for the actors.
khora
Probably as fun as standing on a stage looking at props for the second act in the wings.
Fait
Its not fun for the CG Artists half the time.
TheyCallMeJimmyButMyNameIsJames
Why do they even put real people or real shit in movies anymore?
belindashort
Costs a lot more money
TygrF
Because we aren't quite past the uncanny valley yet

Thank you

bertolomeus
I prefer this version.
thtguyjosh
Obligatory: this is from SNL
TodayisAgoodDayforCake
...I wanna see this scene animated T.T
DrMaggot
Well being an actor must be harder and more boring than before.
khora
Have you heard of mimes?
IamMadeOfShamrocks
It's amazing that now that they can literally put anything you can imagine on the screen, that movies are still generally shit.
khora
Do go see general movies then.
captainhowdy1971
Mary Jane was so fucking boring and irritating in this movie
AdamGenesis
"Filmed on location ... j/k it's all done with computers! LOL!"
khora
Filmed in a location.
Obijesus
Imagine if they put that much effort into the script
Babaloga
CG isn't easy but it's relatively straightforward. You just need to know enough about physics to mimic real life. Writing is more nebulous.
SpammaJamma
Still so happy I got to see that Mysterio scene. Never thought I'd see a badass version of him in the movies.
AmazingSpiderCam
I never thought I’d see him in a movie at all
myotheralt
I liked that Beck's costume was a mocap suit.
MostIndeedlySo
I'd like to see the scenes from outside of Peter's perspective. Just to see how the hell those even would be possible with just drones.
JReene
Same, like if the Extras had the scenes redone sans holograms.
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
Remember all the OUTRAGE about Adam and Eve being black?
GodsFoot
Wait until they find out Jesus was probably dark skinned as well
akspartankiiier
Olive skinned ♂️ ♂️
Spicymeataball
I do, but I’d ragnarok discuss it
FinrodFelagundPrinceoftheNoldor
That wasn't the issue, was it? Wasn't it the whole demon protagonist?
crann
I'm really glad Netflix canceled this show. I can watch Sabrina in piece knowing this this terrible show isn't on Netflix. /s
crann
OH FFS peace... I ruined the joke. No one would be dumb enough to not know which streaming service a show was on AND misspell peace.
NZSheeps
Points for effort
Flareside
Nope, but then again, I didn't care. I'm here for the stories
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
[Quickly checks your comment history to find you actively debating religion and politics]
Babaloga
I never saw any outrage over that.
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
yup. it passed though.
Babaloga
No I remember the outrage. They had a whole list of dumb complaints but the portrayal of Adam and Eve was never one of them afaik.
Powertous
I hope it doesn't get to the point of just replacing actor's
Alecchi
Also in Gemini Man they used cgi young Will Smith that apparrently costes more than what they paid Will Smith and it's goos but not perfect
SwedishGuyYesIDoHaveLongBlondHairWhy
Have you not heard that James Dean is back to acting, 60 years after his death?
Kroesus
Fewer celebrities to worship... I might be okay with that.
Alecchi
It's extremely hard to do face expressions so they always need an actor even if they don't use their liking they need their acting.
RedIronCrown
The plus to this is even ugly actors can do CGI motion capture, it's all about the talent.
trikucian
It will. And then we'll hate it after a while and it will revert. Just like 3D
Babaloga
If it's not an actor doing it, it's an animator. Either way it's an artist crafting a performance.
Meloncov
CGI characters (realistic humanoids, at least) start with an actor is a motion capture suit. So no, you don't need to worry.
Camelspotting
They do for the moment.
Meloncov
Changing that would require levels of AI that could replace pretty much every human job.
turdfergason
How many man hours per movie minute goes into this level of stuff?
mindstorm8191
I imagine, as pros, they would have a huge amount of tools to make this process faster & easier
DeanSledgehammer
Varies wildly and hard to quantify exactly. One minute vfx heavy shot could cost 100k or millions even. There are elements that are used in
DeanSledgehammer
...many shots so the cost should be divided per shot, like a character. Should the shot cost include compositing and grading and sounds etc.
DeanSledgehammer
Just pulling a figure out of my ass: 10 000 work hours for one minute final vfx heavy shot.
TobiasOnyangoFunke
Holy shit bro as someone who works in movies one action scene that ends up being about 2 minutes is a good 12 hour day bare minimum.
ThatDutchPerson
A twelve hour day of how many people?
DeanSledgehammer
X Doubt
TobiasOnyangoFunke
I mean, how many sets have you worked on?
DeanSledgehammer
Couple vfx credits, left movies after that. My doubt was because of your answer: 12h day minimum... For how long? How many people?
DeanSledgehammer
Look above for my more professional answer on the op's question.
