makeup or special Effects Graphics
 
What do you people think is better makeup or graphics. I like old school so i'm a makeup person. i think makeup if done right is 100times better than graph. they are tons of horror films that use graphics and it sucks. Compare the Transformation on Americen WearWolf in london to today movies that use CGI instead. hands down the makeup is better. Yea CGI is cheaper but it looks like shit. Tom savini is the last great american makeup artist ever, once he goes I feel sorry for horror films.

If you hadn't said his name I would have. When you think of all the great creature effects of the past twenty years or more, Stan is the man.

In answer to the original question, i prefer make-up but there will always be a place for cgi if its used sparingly.

I've said it before, but I might as well repeat. I don't care for CGI at all. I've seen a few cases where it was used well, but the fact remains that even the very best CGI looks fake compared to old-fashioned makeup and puppetry. If I wanted to see CGI, I'd play a video game, not watch a movie.

no, the absolute BEST CGI doesn't look fake. I saw a CGI shot in a fairly recent movie that I didn't know was a CGI shot until I listened to the commentary for the movie. It's just that most of the time, what they use CGI for is stuff where you KNOW it's gonna be CGI.

When I seen day of the dead about 99% was CGI now if done right yes it dose look gool, but it's like crack people getting a fixen every 5min. Stan Winston or Tom Savini ect it dosn't matter makup will be history and stupid CGI will take over. How about Altered States that movie had good makup effect. Rember that guy's arm when it started to twisted weird. Altered_States

Make-up. For a perfect example, look at Exorcist and The Exorcist: The Beginning.

The one that was made 30 years earlier was much more startling than the shitty effects in "Beginning".
