that was flippin amazing.. thanks for sharing that...

some top notch compositing work! i usually have a good eye for composited effects, but i could not tell what was real and not real in this reel...

You see. People harp on about hating effects, but if you have guys who have 'the eye'
on it - then it is awesome and no one ever knows.

Not that I don't love me some production design, but what's great are the possibilities available to tv show writers. On ER we used to fly to Chicago from Burbank several times a year to film outdoor scenes, but by the end of the series, we were able to recreate much of the cityscape on soundstages at a fraction of the cost.

They did this for a TV show... and Disney could NOT make young Kevin Flynn believable.

Sad.

This is the tech they shoulda invested in.

That was really interesting. Just one more reason for me to love this show.

It comes down to time and money, really; the "eye" be damned!
