CGI should be used to ENHANCE effects, not be the sole cause of said effects.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself. Some where along the line, someone forgot that 'enhancements' were just that and started using them for everything. Looks like this is going to be a needed return to form.

This is like when they had a R2D2 flying in space on Star Trek XI.

 

That was more because of JJ being a big Star Wars fan, if things are hidden in the movie itself then that's one thing but these are video teasers or w/e that they're doing way in advance of the movie coming out.

You may start seeing huge tents go up over everything now that drones are filling the skies over the production area lol

 

They tried to stop em but you can't no more than you can stop em anywhere else.

Possible Trailer Description

 

"[it'll] be short. And when I say short, I mean one minute long. It's going to have The Force Theme played on woodwinds, softly, over flashing images of the main leads, each fading to black. There's no dialogue, just reveals of the characters. And then the music swells up into a full orchestral piece - perhaps what John Williams recorded this weekend? - and we hear a female voice, likely Daisy Ridley's, saying "Wake up." And then the title card appears - Star Wars: The Force Awakens - and we see the Millennium Falcon, firing blasters, coming right at the camera."

    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Nas · Posted

      Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.
