Spider-Man 2 (2004) ended up winning an Oscar for VFX, is a great example of when to use CGI and when to not. They created real Animatronic arms for Doc Ock. The iconic Train Sequence took two years to complete. Not because they couldn’t use CGI. It’s because they want it to look as realistic as it can. They even went to Chicago to film elevated Train tracks then merged it with the clips of New York buildings and then applied little VFX as a final touch up to the characters.

[@icydec3346]

As far as I know, it was also the first movie to do a 4k CGI intermediate. So, the Doc Ock CGI was native 4k, but the Dock Ock CGI in No Way Home was 2k upscaled to 4k. Making it look even faker.

Exactly, diy is meant to look flawed and not “perfect”

[@branpod]

@@nolan.. I mean the DIY does look flawed, but I don’t see the point of going to the effort of making CGI to look flawed, when you could just do the real thing

[@SupChad735]

@@branpod I think its convenience. I mean what happens when someone damages the suit is what comes to my mind. Props like that probably cost a lot and just make doing normal movements a lot harder. Again I have no idea but that set spider man suit probably is made out of some sort of rubber or stiff material. And on top of that I cant remember if it was another movie or something else but I watched a video about someone wearing a thick suit for something. When its hot outside, I think they said like above 75f the actor could easily overheat causing heat stroke. So in the instance im referring to they had to implement water lines throughout the suit and hide a water pump on him as well to make sure that wouldnt happen.

[@omegastudios-minecraft1865]

[@loststars6533]

I heard that the CGI fight between T'Challa and Killmonger was being worked on for months by Method Studios, and then literally 6 weeks before deadline, production was like "Let's change LITERALLY EVERYTHING." So... yeah. Method basically had to scrap everything they had done and create and render that entire scene from scratch over the course of like 6 weeks. From what I've heard, VFX get treated like absolute crap in the industry. They're artists, not miracle workers. They need time and also money. And no one in Hollywood wants to give them either. It really sucks :(

[@NickDe3]

Yeah. It's really unfortunate that the film industry has adopted the "fix it in post" mentality and taken it to its extreme. It's just not an efficient way to go about it. Especially if you actually hire costume designers to make practical costumes and then just scrap all their hard work. You just end up wasting time and money. And making the visual effects teams work much harder than they could be. If you compare the budget of many of the recent Marvel films to films made by someone like Guillermo del Toro who uses as many practical special effects as possible you end up with a cheaper and more realistic looking film. If Marvel wants to make everything "photo realistic" why not actually capture it in-camera if you can? It's just counter intuitive.

[@IngenieurStudios]

@@NickDe3 I'm chiming in here 4 years later to say that there are two reasons why Christopher Nolan does so many practical effects in his films: 1. Because he wants whatever he makes to hold up in the future. He knows and understands people are going to dissect his work. To watch it in slow motion, to freeze frames for examination. So as an artist, it's important to him that it holds up in such scrutiny and of course, in the experience of the film to make it as seamless and not-distracting as possible. Which is not to say that he is anti-VFX. He merely wants to use it strategically, to enhance whatever is actually there. His favorite use of VFX seems to be covering wires for low gravity scenes such as in Inception and Interstellar. 2. *Because he always comes in under budget.* Nolan knows that if he goes over budget and has to go back to the studios to ask for more money, that's when he loses his creative authority. They'll say "Since you're asking for money, I want you to include XYZ your film or you won't get the money." But if you plan and execute well, you don't end up with these kinds of cost overruns. The Lear scene at the beginning of The Dark Knight Rises was planned to be executed and filmed over 4 days. The actual amount of time spent filming was only 2 days. You just cut hourly crew costs in half right there for what is considered to be an exceptional scene. In an article I read when Interstellar was coming out, it said that Nolan always returns "a substantial amount of money" to the studios when he's finished his movies. His minimalist approach to VFX is not just an artistic strategy, but also a financial one. VFX is often one of the most expensive parts of making a movie these days.

[@laytonpro8655]

The costume department must have been furious. All that effort to make a really cool Spider-Man costume tailor fitted to Tom Holland and then have cgi go over the top of it? Why? It’s a waste of money on cgi too

[@Asaylum117]

I am surprised the costume designers haven't argued about this issue towards the people who are making these movies. They put so much work on these suits, yet all that hard work is thrown out the window, just to be replaced with full CG effects.

[@Anonymous-tu4pl]

Yes the costume designers would be furious but replacing just the eye or part of someone change and keep everything practical would be hard ( not impossible but will take time) , because the real suit has wrinkles and cg one doesn't, so making it completely cg, atleast if they dont have time, then it is the correct choice.

[@laytonpro8655]

@@Anonymous-tu4pl but if it’s easier, at that point they would have been better off using mocap suites. And isn’t it good that it wrinkles?

Not even No Way Home could replicate this for their characters, and it made the Spider-men all look like the suit was their skin. The Amazing Spider-man 2 crew focused on making it really feel like their was a person *in a suit* by making the suit fit a little looser than real life on the cgi models in their simulations giving the effect of a spandex suit reacting to wind and gravity *on top* of a person, rather than how the mcu crew often focuses more on the person than the suit, making the suit define muscles more giving it an extremely skin tight effect untrue to reality, crossing that uncanny valley and making the mcu Spider-man incarnations look like the suit is their skin.

@g420 I'm sorry but have you seen the graphics on the PS4? That shit looks photorealistic as all hell.

[@alvareo92]

Makes sense. A good company doing something that bad screams low budget or short time

[@joshuaguo1974]

the suit in the amazing spiderman II is legit good

[@Browntable]

The ripples oof *slurps lips*

[@christaylor7916]

so is the one in the first one

[@icetray2727]

It’s the most realistic Spider-Man suit

[@TheIshikawaRin]

Say what you will about that movie, the visual effects are impeccably good.

[@diegoh4579]

Joshua Guo it’s a shame the movie is shit

[@BeeBeau]

The final fight in black panther looks so bad because whoever was responsible for the scene wanted dark suits in a dark environment, so when the final render came out it was, obviously, too dark, but by then it was too close to the movies release to change anything so they just colour corrected it to be brighter rather than changing the lighting

[@Disanem]

it was made in 2 weeks, they could've achieved it if they had more time.

[@moviehermit5631]

Honestly, at this point the MCU movies feel like they're basically animated movies with how much CGI is used. I just feel it creates a disconnect from what was filmed and what's happening on-screen. I think CGI should be utilized to enhance the story and environment, not paint over practical stuff, or even straight up not bothering with practical effects (You remember in NWH how Peter had the magic teleport gauntlet? That was CGI, they could hav easily made a physical prop, but they chose to just slap some dots on Tom's arm and called it a day). The more Marvel overly relies on CGI, the less I feel like they're bringing these characters to life, because 90% of what's on screen was never real in the first place

[@hakkai5819]

Homecoming suit without wrinkles is bothering me

[@-Teague-]

Same

[@robl0xgamer258]

Sony was responsible for the cgi on the spiderman suit though

[@frederick6512]

I noticed the Crap CGI for the Homecoming suit straight away and nobody seemed to talk about it much 'cept me. This is the video we need but don't deserve...

[@clunkwestweed4541]

That's because I still can't really tell the difference between the two. Most people must not see it either.

[@conor987]

the roof top scene with Tony stark was shocking how bad it looked.

[@dexter2178]

B0Vin a lot of people complained about the cgi In homecoming before it even came out

[@aceman0000099]

A lot of people like me just don't care to notice. It certainly looks more realistic than the actual hand drawn comic books, and people loved those. It's the same reason nobody complains about the low quality CGI when they watch Toy Story 1995, because it actually isn't that relevant to the immersion unless you make it (ie have no concept of imagination).

[@wayneeast405]

This video is more relevant now than ever after the release of NWH. The CGI was atrocious at times.

[@l2p200iqPlays]

the reason why in Black Panther, the final battle, the CGI is so bad is because the actual scened was filmed in october, and the company got the footage somewhere in december, and had only 6 weeks to do the CGI, it was not completely method studios' fault

[@Mysikrysa]

OK, but there´s still that absurd thing with replacing the real costumes with fugly CGI. It makes no sense.

[@Fullmetalseagul]

As someone who's trying to break into the VFX industry I can tell you why they "overuse" CGI, it simply gives them much more control over a scene. With CGI, if the director doesn't like the lighting in a shot, or the camera isn't moving at the right speed then these variables can be easily adjusted before being rendered out. With a practical shot, you're kind of screwed unless you reshoot the scene with proper lighting or try to get the VFX team to fix it in post which will most likely result in an ugly scene,. Instead of henry cavill's mustache getting cut off his face in post (which was ugly as all hell), they should've just replaced his whole head with CGI in justice league. Which brings me to the next point, the reasons why we get some CGI that goes unnoticed and some that looks like an eyesore is thanks to time and money. If there's a studio that has spectacular work in one film and less than stellar work in another, it's probably because they weren't paid enough for the job or weren't given enough time. VFX artists can sometimes go overworked and underpaid

[@googboog]

This, i was one of the artists who worked on the house explosion scene in x men, they shot a massive explosion indoor with phantom cameras, beautiful footage. it was not used and everything had to be redone in cg because the timing off the flames was off and the camera movement didn't sync with the idea of the shot (it was a moving camera shooting at a very high fps). the entire thing was recreated using the original scene as reference and trying to keep things as close as possible. we also have deadlines to complete shots/shows and a studio is often understaffed and juggling multiple shows at one time, each having its own priority. it's not possible to put 100% of a companies resources into every show all the time

[@dino_matt]

Ive also heard that vfx studios will negotiate that entire shots are recreated because that way they can actually make money

[@romancandleofthewild]

But why would a film studio need complete control of a well-made suit that they've created to fit the actor? I understand the need to fix lighting and explosions, but digitally replacing a suit that's already been made may seems like a waste of money to me.

[@estoylaroca]

It makes sense, but at the same time, it doesn't due to the context. We are talking about MARVEL here... not an underground / upcoming / etc movie maker, but a multi-billion dollar industry. It makes ZERO sense why they would skimp out of production, especially when they have basically unlimited funds. They are not pressured by anything, so there's no reason for them to rush production, as people will watch literally anything they produce. In the end, it just feels lazy and stupid.

[@Raut-warrior]

yes but then after 10-20 years or so...there will be movies with almost 100% cgi/VFX just like disney pixa's animated films but ultra realistic. The actors will just record their voice in a studio and maybe do some motion capture.

[@NonsensicalSpudz]

the CGI is impressive, but at the same time there are so many situations where its kinda odd to use instead of actor or practical, it went from correcting and adding, to totally creating.

[@mkat2325]

Good take, great take + 1

[@Rizal_R_]

Imagine working ur ass off for weeks on a costume just for it to be covered with cgi

[@theleonpasta7336]

One thing I'll always remember is the Mysterio allusion scene in Far From Home (the one with Zombie Iron Man) and how it's so obviously completely CGI and I'm genuinely surprised that made it into the final film it seemed like a deleted scene that wasn't finished or some shit with how obvious it was that it was CGI, like it's good animation, buts that's what it is, it's literally like it switched to an animated movie for a few minutes and that's just ridiculous, not to mention their recent films and shows where it just gets more and more obvious, god how did She-Hulk even make it to the small sceen? I'm seriously surprised nobody at marvel said something, if I worked at Marvel and saw that id think it wasn't even finished rendering.
