CGI Quotes - page 2

I really love a challenge, but in 'Downton' it was really hard going because there's no CGI - what you see is what you get. These were real explosions right in front of our faces, and you just had to make sure that you cleared out of the way. (Thomas Howes)
When I first read 'Lord of the Rings,' I wanted to see a film of it. But at that time, the technology wasn't there; there was no such thing as CGI. View quote
Christopher Lee
Comic-book pages are vertical, and movie screens are relentlessly horizontal. But it's all the same form. We use different tools, but we get the job done. I'm completely in love with CGI. It's great for conveying a cartoonist's sense of reality. View quote
Frank Miller
What's happened with computer technology is perfectly timed for someone with my set of skills. I tell stories with pictures. What I love about CGI is that if I can think it, it can be put on the screen. View quote

Why has Scandinavia been producing such good thrillers? Maybe because their filmmakers can't afford millions for CGI and must rely on cheaper elements like, you know, stories and characters. View quote
Roger Ebert
The nature of the movies is different than it was five years ago, and they're all driven by the possibilities of CGI, which means you can make anything happen on screen that you can possibly desire. View quote

With the CGI, suddenly there's a thousand enemies instead of six - the army goes off into the horizon. You don't need that. The audience loses its relationship with the threat on the screen. That's something that's consistently happening and it makes these movies like video games and that's a soulless enterprise. It's all kinetics without emotion. View quote
Harrison Ford

We just don't have the budget to make it look good, and as a 68 year old, drunk, worked over filmmaker, I just can't stand that video game looking shit...You look at something like The Lego Movie, which is just wall to wall CGI and it's just a fucking 90 minute commercial. I don't care how good it is. Fuck ‘em! We get waves and waves of this kind of shit already on TV 24/7. This is something that's getting marketed to kids and families! It's just a commercial no matter what you say about it. View quote
Lloyd Kaufman
