Animatronics VFX Showreel by Gustav Hoegen.
He's the guy who did stuff for that film where everyone dies in the end, amongst others.
Seriously impressive stuff.

That's a whole week's worth of nightmares right there!
Amazing though, so much there I had assumed was CG.

The making of Prometheus is brilliant.
Whatever you think of the film...there was some true artistry behind it.
So much that I had assumed was CG was in fact practical effects.

That's incredible. I genuinely thought that was all CG. Amazing work by that man. Will research him more, cheers.

it's amazing
that we are now congratulating people for making real things that look like computer graphics, rather than the other way round.

I've been working in computer graphics for 14 years.
That's the first time I've seen physical stuff that competes with what computers can do (or obviously will do soon). And physical is obviously better if it can be done at a competitive price.
Awesome.

Very nice reel.
But the anti-CG comments piss me off. Especially since I've worked on a couple of the films shown there where we've replaced the animatronics with CG because the animatronics didnt' hold up. No one technique is better. The skill (for the director) is choosing where to use what.

For me, CGI, blue screen, and actors in suits, seem to be cheaper and easier
