Mad Max: Fury Road without CGI is even more insane and exciting than the finished movie
Mad Max: Fury Road was a hell of a ride, but Mad Max: Fury Road with all the CGI taken out, well, that’s just totally insane.
Watch this.

Pretty sure we could watch either of these and it would be just as good.
Jesus! It’s almost like saying “Mad Max Fury Road without CGI is Mad Max Fury Road” exceptional filmmaking

Practical effects > VFX

They’re both tools with a necessary place. One of my frustrations with Fury Road is people praise the practical effects to high heaven and generally won’t acknowledge the movie has thousands of FX shots and pure CG work.

My favorite thing about the work on this film is how it showed the strengths of both approaches, and used them correctly to enhance each other.

It’s very much a throwback to films like Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 that beautifully married CGI and practical effects. Big fan of Fury Road.

The colour grade on the film is also insane pic.twitter.com/cZcYCBeCv9

Holy shit. How do you get tumbling semi to sneak inside this crane? pic.twitter.com/Uz9NROVBYT

You don’t, quite. If you mark off the cones the stunt driver times by, once he’s at the foremost cone and starts the controlled wreck, he’s past the crane (and this is seen in the forward-facing cut). Which tbh takes zilch away from how balls crazy impressive that stunt is.

Pretty sure I could watch either version and be just as entertained

Give Stunts an Oscar category.

Ooh, and also there was this, from director Steven Soderbergh …
this video pairs nicely with Soderbergh’s description how crazy Fury Road is to watch as a director: https://t.co/RkO3qPWoea pic.twitter.com/LlqEf00DHk
