How did Dogma, a relatively low-budget film, manage to have the only good-looking angel wings? Like, even movies with tons of FX dollars tend to fuck them up and they look bad. These are very stylized, and you can tell they’re not real feathers, but they actually look… better than real feathers? They have a balance of curvature and sharp angles that just make for a great silhouette and they move wonderfully. I cannot figure this out!!

e: I looked on The Internet

I don’t know this show but that’s a fucking practical effect??! Better than most cg. Holy shit.

Please go look up the Crooked Feather. They make practical wings! They are so cool. Someday…. Someday I will have a pair 😂

One of the things they did: They focused on “cool-looking angel wings” and not “wings that look like they could actually fly.” Too many movie special effects are caught by “but that wouldn’t work…”

Dude, they’re angel wings. They fly by divine power. They don’t need to be aerodynamic.

The PRACTICAL effects in Dogma were good.  These wings are good, and don’t look like terrible early CGI, because they didn’t use CGI.

For these particular wings.

They DID use CGI elsewhere in the movie.  And it looks terrible.

For real, the difference between the CG and the practical effects wings is mindblowing.  The CG wings in that movie only show up for a few minutes on screen but damn are they terrible compared to the practical effect wings.

If you’re watching a movie from the 80′s, 90′s, or 2000′s, and you think “wow that looks pretty good” and not “wow this has aged terrible,” there’s a 99% chance that it was practical effects, because CGI always ages poorly, whereas good practical effects and puppetry tend to age very gracefully.  Jurassic Park is STILL heralded as a masterpiece of practical effects.

I feel like filmmakers today rely too heavily on CGI and the art of good practical effects is dwindling.  it’s quite sad!

Alone Together by Aristotle Roufanis

Alone Together is an ongoing photographic project by Aristotle Roufanis (b.1983 Athens, Greece), for which the London-based photographer takes photos of a large metropolis in a way that only tiny, individual apartment lights are visible. Hardly recognizable in the dark, some of the world’s most famous metropolis such as London, Paris, Miami, and Athens are transformed into sprawling canvases of anonymity, where countless people have decided to make their home but hardly connect to each other.  The project takes this phenomenon of social alienation in urban centers as a starting point and adds a positive, optimistic twist to it.
