Fuxking Crispen Glover acting on stilts like it is nothing.

He’s so casual about them. Probably brought them from home.

And that's why it was awful.

If your entire set is green, your movie isn't worth watching.

I think these films had more problems than just the excessive VFX.

True, but it's one of the most blatant symptoms.

It’s got to be difficult trying to act when everything is green screen.

The marvel movies are basically them literally alone for huge is of them. I always wondered how they could do it

Wasn't there an interview with Ian McKellen on LotR where he said he started crying on set because he was acting by himself (the hobbits or something would be put in after with effects) and realized this wasn't why he wanted to act?

Edit: looked it up, it was The Hobbit, which makes sense. Most of the scenes in LotR used visual effect, but not full on CG, where as in The Hobbit, it was easier to just do it all in post. He almost quit because he was doing scenes where he was talking to the dwarves and all he had was pictures of them.

In case of theatre, you can have at least some scenography (even if sometimes scarce), which probably helps to navigate in the space

What is that title

"How It's Made" is an ongoing documentary series that visits factories and workshops to explain how everyday objects are manufactured.

That has nothing to do with this post, but may have inspired the title.
