Critical Drinker, stupid or lying?

[@danielmorcillotrigo3017]

It literally took me 5 seconds to find this on the internet: The Top Gun: Maverick CGI use was minimal, and since most of Top Gun 2 was real the other cast members also flew in their jets just like Cruise. However, none of the Top Gun: Maverick cast flew the jets by themselves. All the cast member's jets were piloted by trained Navy pilots for their aerial sequences. Even though flying in a plane as a passenger might sound a bit easy, it required significant training from the cast. Tom Cruise developed a three-month, intensive training program for Miles Teller's Rooster and his co-stars that they had to go through prior to filming beginning. This included various tests and physical training meant to prepare them to be in a real F/A 18 Super Hornet for production. All the Top Gun: Maverick cast members who had to be in a jet for the movie participated in the grueling process, which ended with them being more than ready for the real experience. Beyond the flight training, capturing Top Gun: Maverick's aerial sequences meant the cast members essentially became their own crew and cinematographer. A typical day on set when flying was involved saw the individual actors leave for an hour or two at a time and film their aerial scenes. However, director Joseph Kosinski couldn't communicate with them during this time or see the footage that was being filmed inside Top Gun 2's fighter jets. So the crew of the sequel invented new camera rigs to go inside the cockpit with the actors, which required them to properly frame and light the shots. Their only aid during this time was the real pilots in the cockpit with them, but they were focused on flying the jets. Putting the cast in real flying scenes doesn't mean that everything in Top Gun: Maverick was done practically. The movie certainly thrives on the realism created by these believable sequences, but visual effects were used in other ways. One area that seems to be partially aided by Top Gun: Maverick CGI is the dogfights, as the missiles launching and bullets shooting at the planes are surely fake. Doing any of that practically would put the actors, real pilots, and crew in great danger. With that in mind, it also seems that the bombing of the underground uranium facility belonging to Top Gun: Maverick's villains was aided by CGI. There are surely other smaller examples of visual effects being used in Top Gun: Maverick, but it was all done to service the real aerial sequences happening throughout the rest of the film. Now tell me if that is the same as filming in giant green box with nothing to interact.

That wasn’t what Drinker said, though, was it?

I would like to add that ALL of the exterior shots in Top Gun were eventually VFXd over, but reference is king. I know this is not well known, but it's true - look into it.

He isn’t wrong about cgi’s overuse and how cheep it can feel from time to time and some of your counter points don’t really work but overall I’d say more research should be implemented on drinkers part going forward

wow, what a midwit video Top Gun 2 used minimal CGI for the jets, took like a two minute google search or the other comment on this video and, Fury Road did use *limited* CGI; you may not know what that word means but I can tell you it *does not* mean "no CGI"

[@plainsrabbit]

Both of those claims are false.

[@__Jah__]

@@plainsrabbit how so?

[@ChristianIce]

I don't think you got the point. The point is that CGI can be well done or badly done. When CGI is well done, you can't tell is CGI, exactly like the examples in Fury Road proved. CD didn't notice it was CGI, and probably he didn't get that Gollum is CGI as well. :D

[@__Jah__]

@@ChristianIceI got that point; but my point is this video doesn’t use good examples to refute what drinker is saying. The top gun and mad max ones being the most egregious; as it takes minimal research to determine both of those films did things with practical effects (and real jets) where possible. it has the right idea, but does an awful job supporting it

@@CaptCondor Mad Max DID use little CGI. They did use it, but for many incredible stunts they didnt. Its not comparable to other movies that have that much action but heavily rely on CGI

[@CaptCondor]

@@abrakadabra2192 yeah it is true, most of the action was real and the use of cgi is more used for the surroundings. it is still misleading IMHO to call it a movie with little cgi. Compared to other blockbusters maybe, but on it's own it still uses a lot. But I think it is important to make the distinction for what the CGI was used for.

[@riman8493]

Because the ROI on such a project is insane? The original Top Gun singlehandedly inspired generations (plural!) and boosted recruitment numbers in ways no simple ad could ever hope to do. So long as it's not active war time, it's absolutely in the military's best interest to back something like this in any way they can.

[@Mrjohnnymoo1]

There is a whole video about how much the military actually loans equipment to movies because of how much it boost's military enrollment. Almost every single non CGI military vehicle in the first 4 transformer movies were loaned by the military. In Lord of War, the scene where all the tanks are pulled onto the runway, that wasn't CGI, they were allowed to use actual military tanks that were getting sent to another country and put it in their movie. It is INSANELY common.
