[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] To me, the whole development of SFX thing is analogous to that of architecture. Many of the most impressive, long-lasting structures built by humans were designed and constructed without any use of modern technology. The Pyramids and Mayan cities of millennia ago are so massive and intricate and complex in their engineering as to represent a complete mystery to modern architects. To this day nobody can figure out just how they built this stuff. The art, skills, and science behind them have been lost. Why? Because we think smaller now. Everything is done in a cost efficient corner-cutting way. We don't think in terms of man power, but of machine power. We will settle for something of lesser quality if it is more practical, if it's [i]easier[/i]. Go stand in front of the Pyramids and then tell me that the prefabricated-and-assembled-on-site Empire State Building is as impressive. Go watch Stanley Kubrick's [i]Spartacus[/i] and tell me you'll ever look at any mass battle sequence done with CGI in the same way again. [/QB][/QUOTE]
