Comment on Why Furiosa’s CGI Looks More Fake Than Mad Max Fury Road

I was interested in the “non-traditional” fps of Fury Road so here’s the relevant part from wikipedia, they actually used less than 24 for most of the movie.

According to Seale, “something like 50 or 60 percent of the film is not running at 24 frames a second, which is the traditional frame rate. It’ll be running below 24 frames because George, if he couldn’t understand what was happening in the shot, he slowed it down until you could … Or if it was too well understood, he’d shorten it or he’d speed it up back towards 24. His manipulation of every shot in that movie is intense.”[75] The Washington Post noted that the changing frame rate gives the film an “almost cartoonishly jerky” look.[76]

It’s things like this that make me unconcerned about this new movies CGI. This guy has a vision for his films and will do what he can to see it through. Is everything 100% perfect? No of course not. But you know the man gave it well over 100% in effort.

  I watched it and the CGI was way way way more noticable. There’s a scene at the beginning of the movie of someone getting on a horse, and it looks like when Legolas very obviously CGI’d his way onto the horse in LotR. Lots of other shots with bad CGI, too.

    That’s really weird. Did you see a release version?

I was rewatching fury road on the weekend and this was something I picked up on I hadn’t noticed before. it’s quite apparent in scenes where a sense of urgency is required, such as when Max is trying to escape from the warboys in the citadel near the start of the movie

  What does a change in frame rate look like?

    it kind of looks like scenes are being sped up, but when you pay attention you can see the action is moving at a normal pace, but looks faster. it’s a clever effect used in the right places

    That sounds distracting if you are capable of noticing it! I’ll keep an untrained eye out.
