Quote - I'd rather see live human actors. there is an increasingly wide disconnect between CG animators and real-world experience IMVHO. I don't wanna see the visions of some guy who has sat in front of a computer monitor since he was 10 yrs old, as opposed to the vision of somebody who has actually gone out into the world, done things (good, bad or ugly), and experienced life in all its extremes.
There's a lot of CGI backlash out there. I like it myself, but it's like anything else (writing, acting, directing) there's some good and some bad. Frankly, the best CGI stuff, and there's lots of it, you don't even recognize as CGI.
It's great for establishing an environment as compared to the old school matte painting which required the camera to stay fixed to make the illusion work. With CGI, you can move around.
