Comment on ‘Furiosa’ First Reactions Say It’s a Stunning Powerhouse (But No ‘Fury Road’)
TheFonz@lemmy.world 7 months agoYou just have to look at the credits to see the army of people who worked on VFX for fury Road. I dont have time to dig up exact sources, but this guy touches on it at one point in this series:

Ok. When people are saying “No CGI” they mean that the movie was shot on location using practical stunts instead of filming in a green screen dome like the MCU and Star Wars trash that Disney is pumping out. There can be an army of VFX artists in the credits, but who enhanced the films effects instead of rendering entire scenes.
The first Furiosa trailer that dropped like 6 months to a year ago gave off that green screen MCU vibe. I don’t think anyone really means absolutely zero post-production when they say “No CGI”.

I understand why people are focusing on green screen as stand in for CGI (I’m sure we still have collective ptsd from the Star Wars prequels) but there is a lot more to CGI in production that goes beyond “enhancing” the scenes. Entire elements (ie vehicles) are CGI in Fury Road.

Again, everything I have read and seen regarding the effects for Fury Road was that pretty much everything was filmed practically and on location, including the vehicular combat etc. If you’re referring to a vehicle getting sucked up into the air by the dust storm, ok bro. If your talking about a vehicle driving around in the desert, once again you’re going to have to cite that claim with something other than “VFX artists are in the credits” because it flies in the face of ten years of commentary on this movie.

You’re kinda missing the point and I don’t know if I’m doing a poor job of explaining or what. I never said there were no practical effects. I never said they weren’t the majority of the effects. I never said they filmed on a green screen most of the scenes. All that being told, there is a mountain of VFX happening in almost every shot. And to ignore it is silly at this point.
