Thank you for explaining. I always wonder what elements the Oscar looks for in their categories.
I love that Dune used real helicopters to simulate the ornithopters, because so often I just see helicopters lift off or land in seconds like they were toys in a child's hand, even in non-sci-fi films.
I don't understand though, why in Spiderman did they have to film the actor, than built the exact same scene with CGI? They could have just hire anyone to do the shot. I find this happens in a lot of sci-fi films.

All these people are talking about dune while ignoring Shang chi. It looked amazing, especially the fight scenes had great use of practical effects and the vfx artist did spend a good amount of time talking about that. It might not have won, but it was definitely a worthy contender.

The effects in Shang-Chi looked really bad. Characters looked awfully -brightened- compared to the backgrounds, the black-points never matched
So hearing now that the faces were deepfaked in some scenes, makes that clear as to why it looked like that.

Seeing the planning, scope, talent and sheer workforce put into Dune to then cut to Shang-Chi afterwards was almost comedic.
Hey look at this beautiful and delicately made michelin-star level five course meal. now here is a Twinkie.

God I'd hate to be a compositor working on Dune, can't imagine trying to key out a -white- or -sand- coloured 'green-screen' lmao. I'd imagine they'd have to roto out the actors most of the time instead of trying to key out the colour,

Dune really deserved the VFX Award. The only issue I noticed watching the movie was that in some scenes (most notable in the scene where the worm swallows the big -truck-) the sand dust looked pretty artificially /cgily.

In the future, actors won't be needed. It'll just be a director and a computer with advanced AI. The director will specifically explain to the AI how the movie should be made and the AI will make it in a single day.

Movies are spectacular when u think about it. Personally dune wasn't for me but the visuals were breathtaking. And ill still be going day 1 to watch dune 2 because I see how close I am to liking this franchise
reply

Seeing Shang Chi playing right after Dune is hilariously embarrassing. You can like that movie, I don't care, but man those effects look like a joke compared to the immense beauty of Dune

Thank god you didn-t bring the corridor digital guys on. Those guys haven-t even worked on a large film but go around preaching Vfx like they-re masters. Keep the industry vets coming
