2. Dont forget the basics. Dont get enamored withnew technology,
because its not new. Just themedium were working in is new, but
that doesntchange anything. The art of what we do isexactly the
same. Its beyond technology. Its theart of movies.George Lucas 3.
Dear Movie Directors, 4. When you create a movie with the right
blend of effects, it is amazing. 5. Sometimes, the effects can
transcend the quality of story and acting. 6. Of course, it is best
to have quality story, acting, and effects in combination. 7. But
your movie shouldn't suffer for your efforts. 8. When the effects
are good, but overplayed, they draw us out of the movie. 9. When
the effects are bad, they hit us like a brick to the face. 10.
Probably the worst is taking a good story and converting it to
laughably bad through overuseof CG. 11. Balance the techniques you
use to create the best and most immersiveexperience.
