michaelgluzman: dear lord guys, such ignorance! how can you say all the artists who actually model, texture, animate and render all the visual effects you see lack creativity? they still make miniatures only to 3D scan and enhance these days you know. it’s a lot of work. it’s just a different type of work. and there are hundreds of artists out there who are doing beautiful concept work for all art direction involved in movies. if anything, the green screen has allowed more visions to come true. by no means a step backwards. I agree with Michael: this shouldn’t necessarily be viewed as a jab against Lucas. No, it’s a sign of the times and how much the medium has changed. (I removed all the nested blockquote silliness. Pardon me if this is shameful, but leaving it was just too ugly).
