The CGI effects of 'Brokeback Mountain'

SFW?

This is my big gripe about movies today. They suck, largely due to cgi. For example, the new star wars would have been a lot better if they used the same techniques that they used on the first ones.

Yeah, SFW.

The actual set of the film only used 700 sheep, partly because of Canada’s comedic concern for the spreading of American diseases to their sheep.

Why is it comedic? Are our sheep really that pristine? Are they... non-comedogenic?

lots of things are non-comedogenic if you don't rub them on your face.

CGI sheep in a gay love story. There's a joke in there somewhere but damned if I can find it.

I'm *floored* - I had no idea they had a SFX budget on that movie. I'll have to go and watch it again to find the CGI sheep, although I bet it was mostly digital compositing.

Directors to CGI: "Why can't I quit you?"

I KNEW IT. I totally called that, and my friend was like, "sheep? why fake sheep?"
