If 20th Century Fox picks up the DL franchise, THE NEXT ONE BETTER BE EPIC! :finger:

:finger: This one works better:

I got a laugh at the anticipation of the finger. Then it jumps out like bread from a toaster. Here's a hypothetical question for yous guys. Let's say Fox picks it up. You're on the track to make your first studio film. But you KNOW for a fact that they're going to push CGI on you. Whether it be money or time constraints, rest assured you will have to use CGI. Given your(and others) complaints of the CGI in Romero's and other zombie films....how would you feel about that?

[LouCipherr]

To be honest, I have nothing against CGI nor the use - as long as it's done properly and in an appropriate fashion and not overused. Not sure how Dj feels about this, but that's where I stand on it. As long as whatever CGI is done doesn't look completely fake or cartoonish, I'm not against it. I'd rather do as much practical effects as possible, but sometimes that doesn't work out and you have to resort to CGI.

I will fight for the use of Practical FX when it comes to gore, headshots etc. In terms of city landscapes or like when Charlie and Riley come out of the subway... that type of CG i am fine with because making background plates for shots that include City skylines, etc I am completely fine with and will accept. Zombie horde CGI... I am hoping to not need at all because I have a knack for rounding up people to play ZOMBIES. But if I get into a situation where I need to use it I will have all the zombie extras change wardrobe so you don't see duplicate shots of zombies in the CG duplication process.

But if I get into a situation where I need to use it I will have all the zombie extras change wardrobe so you don't see duplicate shots of zombies in the CG duplication process. That would be ideal, because the duplication of crowds becomes very obvious if the crowd wasn't that big to begin with.

Realistic CG is an oxymoron. James Cameron would like to have a word with you. I agree that CGI characters, foreground objects, and gore look obvious....but Batman Begins and Zodiac are two examples of how CGI can boost the impact of your film with fewer dollars...

[DjfunkmasterG]

Like I said the only CG I may use is for a decayed looking Baltimore, but otherwise everything else will be practical
