“the poor quality of the CGI in The Hobbit is indicative of a pervasive problem in the digital effects world: hubris. Since the advent of CGI, filmmakers have felt confident to show the visual effects full frontal. Back when it was all practical, makeup and animatronic effects, filmmakers would use artistic techniques to hide the flaws and seams. They would show creatures from the back or side or in shadow. I don’t understand why digital artists forgot that tenet of filmmaking. CGI is a different process but no different aesthetically. If you show it fully lit in center frame, it’s just going to look like a visual effect, not an illusion.”
