I'm thinking we'll rise again.
Didn't someone just comment about how studios are using practical again because CGI has become so cheap?
Or am I imagining things again?
Also, The Amazing Spider-Man (not sure about 2) did several practical web slings instead of using CGI.
Yeah, apparently 3d printing is driving the price down, I was reading an article recently about how Doctor Who had a lot of miniature sets for the 50th

Other way around I think. Using practical is becoming cheaper, so it's starting to make a comeback.

Yeah, you're never going to find a producer saying "We can't do it this way, it's too cheap."
Unless it's a Brewster's Millions type of gig.

Well, that was not exactly what I meant, but I can see how you read it that way. I seriously need to read that quote again, and I can't remember where I saw it
However, there has been a resurgence in practical effects that I have admired.
Found the thread that I was thinking of: http://friendsinyourhead.com/forum/view … hp?id=1701
And, yeah, I had it backwards, with materials for models becoming far, far cheaper.
