First Christopher Miller clarifies, now Phil Lord. I am extremely grateful for them putting out this information.
@tvaziri sounds like solo, actually. they probably learned a lot from that experience

@virtualbri @tvaziri I, on the other hand, am well known to be a stinkin' liar.

The discourse is still so bad. It's one thing when internet bozo film bros spread misinformation, but when the trades just say stupid stuff like this it's just so overwhelming and depressing.
Fun fact: even those movies that you think "rely on 'CGI'" have gigantic practical effects work!

@tvaziri wait did they not send Ryan Gosling multiple light years away from earth? Hollywood is doomed. I bet they didn't use a real alien either.

the piece is worse than the headline and deeply misleads
TO BE CLEAR:
- in half the shots in which he appears, Rocky is computer graphics animation
- Project Hail Mary used LED screens
- Top Gun Maverick had all-CG jet sequences, the Dune films had all-CG sequences, Alien Romulus had all-CG aliens -

What we used to call special effects wizardry is now downgraded to CGI.

@tvaziri @Gte It’s always the same! The video series should be a meme

@tvaziri Boiling in me is that idea writ large—too much emotional investment in specific tools and approaches, too little consideration for which tool is appropriate under what circumstances.

@tvaziri I think the web has just ruined company’s idea of how to write about stuff.
It was fun watching and not thinking about it was made. I’m definitely better off reading less about films and just going off the vibe of the trailer or comments from friends.

@tvaziri I'm currently pitching something on the premise that we will proudly announce that it is CGI to say it is not AI.

@tvaziri I mean, it’s hard not to use practical effects.
I mean, if you have a makeup artist, you have practical effects. -

Love watching the behind the scenes features instead to be amazed -

@tvaziri I’m sure someone (in the industry) has/had reached out to the author(s) to correct this right? On any of these false claims? How does it continue?

@tvaziri I had to scroll a bit: Bahr's piece is from 2019. Back then, in "The Mandalorian", Grogu was a mix of animatronics, puppetry and CGI, she even wrote about it later on. Wouldn't know how else that crib would appear to fly. But yeah, unfortunately the shorthand for "$production uses a mix of methods to animate characters" is "no CGI", just like in the screenshot below.

@tvaziri but I’m just a nobody…the movie industry seems like “big pharma”
