Friends From Film School Podcast EP 54:   Are Practical Effects Better than CGI?  

This week on the Friends From Film School Podcast, Luke, Brad, and Ellis debate our next filmmaking topic - "Are practical effects better than CGI?" Ellis shares some of the differences between the the practical effects used in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the CGI used in the Hobbit. Luke elaborates on the differences of CGI vs. practicals in Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" and Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity". And Brad shares the tale of the 2011 "The Thing" filming with real practical effects, but replacing them with CGI in a last minute studio revision.  So get ready to listen and find out our conclusion to which is better - CGI or practical effects?
