EP 54: Are Practical Effects Better Than CGI?

Friends From Film School Podcast EP 54:   Are Practical
Effects Better than CGI?  


This week on the Friends From Film School Podcast, Luke, Brad,
and Ellis debate our next filmmaking topic - "Are practical
effects better than CGI?" Ellis shares some of the differences
between the the practical effects used in the Lord of the Rings
trilogy and the CGI used in the Hobbit. Luke elaborates on the
differences of CGI vs. practicals in Christopher Nolan's
"Interstellar" and Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity". And Brad shares
the tale of the 2011 "The Thing" filming with real practical
effects, but replacing them with CGI in a last minute studio
revision.  So get ready to listen and find out our
conclusion to which is better - CGI or practical effects?
