they do make a point about real vs CG. but i think CG has taken over the effects world so completely because of the absolute and full control you have over it. need a complex robot to blow up? ok. if its a real machine, then you either spend months building a replica thats close enough to look right in the shot, then destroy it with real explosives, one chance to get it looking good. if its CG. ok, just import the model into a fresh file, turn on physics and fracture effects, then hit render. first shot didn't look good? no problem, tweak some settings and hit render again!
they can bash CG all they want, but its here to stay, has been for the past 15+ years. lol

This is why I get disheartened doing 3D. I can make pretty things on the computer, but unless I 3D print them in tiny segments or on a very large 3D printer ($$$$$$) or CNC machine the parts and assemble them ($$$$. It's pretty much stuck on a screen or as a paperweight on my desk.
So I purchased a MIG welder and decided to learn something practical to build mechs from scratch/scrap. Now if only I lived close to a metal scrapyard where I could buy some prefabbed parts that roughly meet my design specs. I wouldn't build fighting Mechs, more like disaster relief and response mechs.

When I first saw this massive work of art I just couldn't stop thinking: -WHO WOULD MAKE SUCH A THING! Who would spend so much time and effort, find so many talented people, just to promote their product!
The Titanfall game? The Pacific Rim movie? -
I had no idea it was simply made by - and because of - a group of passionate people wanting to amaze everyone.
You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for doing this.

f someone starts improving this build then someone improves that build and that keeps on gong and getting better I'm willing to bet we will have an actual working bot with a guy inside and it will be made of metal and will be an actual mech suit by the 100th time. That's not all that realistic and outlook but wit the way were advance in technology today it might happen.

The thing I love about all these videos is all the people smiling! Seeing something like that, you see all these 20-40 year olds or older just looking in amazement totally enjoying themselves. Really well done. They really fired up and fueled a lot of people's (like myself) imaginations and dreams from when they were kids with this.

So I was told before, in high school and later when looking to find a college, that trying for a career in special effects and prop making was a waste. That there is no way to get a job in that field or make a living at it, and that its a dead art. How do I get into this as a career?

We need more of this and much much less CG in today's movies. Actually, this is basically the same concept as what they did with the Alien queen in Aliens. Two guys in a big suit with excellent camera work and editing.

Start saving. tens of thousands of dollars in raw material alone, several hundred thousand for fabrication machines and tools and at least thousands of (fully paid) man hours for making one.
