Re: "So good you never know there was any digital effect done." Now we're cooking with gas!

with some effects one has to know that there was an effect due completely to the content. If you see dinosaur you know it is an effect, be it digital or physical. I found the T rex and the Raptors in the first Jurassic Park to be quite convincing. Ditto for my other examples. No matter how good they may have been there is no way to fool anyone into believing they were not effects. I think hey are an easy target for any cynic. But there are numerous effects in any given movie that are not obvious because they could be real. Those are the ones that are ofen seemless and go un-noticed by the general public. I am confident that you have seen digital composites and subtle digital effects like the removal of cables that were invisable effects, effects you did not notice as an effect. You will not likely find anyone substantially more critical of bad digital effects or bad effects in general than me. but I am not going to make negative claims about an entire technology or dismiss a movie based on their use just because sometimes they are done badly. Digital is often don badly, it is not inherently evil.
