121: In Which We Discuss CGI vs. Practical Effects

from SciFi4Me: The H2O Podcast · host SciFi4Me

At the suggestion of SciFi X/Y co-host Sonya Rodriguez, we discuss visual effects -- is it better to have everything computer-generated (CG)? Or are practical effects better? Consider that the original Star Wars trilogy was practical, while the prequel trilogy was CG-heavy (even though there were considerable practical effects as well). With the return of the original shooting model of the USS Enterprise to a place of prominence at the Smithsonian, it's a good time to debate the merits of both, so join us as we barely scratch the surface of the topic. Feel free to weigh in on this discussion, friends.
