Why do many modern Hollywood films rely heavily on CGI and visual effects instead of actual sets? What is your opinion on this trend?

The “why” is quite simple:

Are you an expert in visual effects? Neither am I. Have you ever done any CGI animation? I do. I made a 3 minute clip back in 2006. It took me about 3 weeks. It was shit, but it was a great learning experience, Makes you respect all those people who do that for a living. So, whenever I listen to a schmuck saying “oh, now it’s so easy with computers”, all I can think about is “poor ignorant bastard… someone should tell him the brain is for thinking and the ass is for shitting before he opens his mouth again”.

Some other things are feasible, but much more expensive, dangerous, and with the same or worse results. And there are a few where practical effects work much better. So, whenever the cost is lower and the risk of hurting people is less, CGI effects are preferred.

Can CCTV cameras be integrated with other sensor technologies for enhanced security solutions? If so, how?

My point is, my opinion on the matter, as yours, is irrelevant. The people who works on that field (my brother does) have a saying on the matter though. They can tell you with basis “these effects are great” or “these effects are shit”.

So, I’m still not an expert, but at least I have a better understanding than most people. Do I care about opinions? Sure, But I can give a rat’s ass about the neighbor’s opinion, or the guy at the grocery store, or, for that matter yours. BUT. I would pay very, very close attention to an special effects expert working on movies, and what he has to say on the matter.

Opinions are like assholes. We all have one and they all stink.

What are the best mattress options for a comfortable night's sleep in Pompano Beach?

Some things are impossible to do with practical effects.

There was a post here on Quora, where there were some question criticizing the special effects on Rogue One, and Moff Tarkin’s face. One of the guys who actually worked on the SFX Department for the movie answered. His answer was a master lesson on special effects. He took the job to explain the process, the challenges, the result, the technologies, all at great detail. After reading that, whomever got to bash the special effects must have gotten his tong shoved up his ass.

What do you want to know? The why, or my opinion?

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

Now, my opinion. Here it is:

Let’s go with both.
