I'm at home, so I can't view that You Tube video, so forgive me if I'm just repeating what was mentioned. I do believe Uncle George did say that someday ALL movies will be "special effects" movies. Apparently TV shows as well?
Someday, as it turns out, is not so far away. Zach Braff's indie pic "Garden State" had some CG effects shots for cryin' out loud! So did that serial killer biopic "Zodiac" (post 9/11, there was no way they could get an overhead shot of the Golden Gate Bridge, so...). Simply, CG is becoming a cheaper and more practical tool than ever, and we'll see it used more and more, even if we don't actually "see" it.
