The resurgence of practical effects in modern cinema
In an era dominated by CGI, practical effects are making a surprising comeback in the film industry. From sci-fi blockbusters to intimate dramas, filmmakers are increasingly opting for tangible, real-world special effects over digital ones. This shift is not just about aesthetics, but also about enhancing the authenticity and emotional impact of stories.
Industry experts believe this trend reflects a desire to return to traditional filmmaking techniques, which sometimes convey a sense of realism that CGI can't replicate. Movies like 'Mad Max: Fury Road' and 'The Dark Knight' serve as prime examples of how practical effects can create stunning visuals and engaging narratives.
Directors and special effects artists are embracing this old-school approach, finding innovative ways to blend practical effects with digital ones to achieve a seamless experience for audiences.
