They don't film murder (& blood) like they used too :mjcry:

[Nero Christ]

this scene is almost 50 years old & the effects still hold up & that's because it's practical & yes I do prefer practical over cgi when it can be used but cgi is here & I'm not someone who doesn't recognize it's usefulness either whether it's for cost or reshooting scenes.

However I just find the aesthetic of cgi blood is off at least to me most times...it comes out too red & looks like cartoon blood for instance
that looks like someone shot 2 red paintballs at a wall compared to GF1 you see the mist behind Sollozzo head...I mean it looks realistic

and this shyt is the worst when comparing old horror movies to new ones but I don't have as much a problem here unless the cgi is real bad or the film is going for a realistic approach.

What's your thoughts brehs...you agree or am I old man yelling at the sky

also forgot to add the work that went into the filming of the restaurant scene in the Godfather

On Michael Corleone's murder of Sollozzo and McClusky:

Smith: There was a metal plate on [Sterling Hayden's] forehead and the squib on top of that — and [we] covered the whole forehead with foam latex skin, but left an area around the squib unglued so that I could take a hypodermic needle, prick it sideways through the skin, and squirt in a certain amount of blood to fill that shallow cavity — not so much that it would bulge.

Then when the squib blew, it would blow a hole in the skin so the blood would pour out. The great trouble with that is it takes a lot of time to put it on, and when you finish, you have to take it all off, clean him up, and prepare him for another shot. It's very time-consuming and of course you could not only have something go wrong in the filming of the scene, you could have a squib be a dud or something.

so you can see how cgi becomes less time consuming than practical with all of this for just one scene[/quote]

yeah, cg hurts horror movies the most. you need a huge budget and a really experienced director to make monsters look like real physical things when interacting with the environment or the actors.

Nothing beats the old school effects of monsters transforming or some of the gore
