Whenever I see pointless use of special effects, I reach for something else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't really think too much about special effects because that's not really something I can clearly visualize, so I leave that to the pros.
I'm not afraid of special effects, but I see them very much as a means to an end.
Truthfully, I don't know how those special effects people do it.
I think what some people are doing with effects is starting to get silly. It's overused.
A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.
Special effects are characters. Special effects are essential elements. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.
I had no special effects, no monsters running around, nothing blew up; those things are all things I've done so many times that they lose their allure after a while.
Great visual effects serve story and character and in doing so, are, by their very definition, invisible.
I like doing as many special effects in camera, as much as possible.
It's all about the special effects.
