Thanks for your blog, Carly. I appreciate how thorough you have been in trying to give a good survey of all of the different kinds of special effects. I like your use of specific examples to show how each kind works. That's great.
ReplyDeleteI found myself thinking the topic was actually quite broad for one blog. This offers a good survey introduction, but there are also therefore some noticeable gaps. For instance, what about the contemporary forms of animation, like rotoscope or even the kind of stop-motion that is 'bullet time' in The Matrix. It might have been a good idea to look to the future and what special effects will mean in years to come. You hint at it, in talking about how special effects are increasingly taking the place of story etc. but this invites even more reflection. I think you had focussed entirely on one of these, it might have been possible to go in greater depth and talk about the technological advances that are being made in that one area. Even so, this was very informative and useful. Good work.
