"But Gaeta hopes for a miracle, even as he laments some industry trends -- specifically, that the volume required by today's tentpole releases has resulted, to a large degree, in the commoditization of visual effects.

"Some of these firms are giant engines, but at the end of the day, in visual effects, they're not known, really, for their product," he says. "Visual effects are supposed to be unique, one of a kind - that's how you move things forward. Without that spark, films are all going to look the same." "

and here is the other article:

Quote:
"All that information was fed into computers, which re-assembled the men into virtual actors and created what Gaeta calls "virtual cinematography."

The actors approach in the courtyard, but after that, most of the fight is computer generated."

I've just never really liked this guy. He's an arrogant clown. His firm has done some great stuff in the Matrix films, but what has this guy done to warrant having this high and mighty opinion of himself? Kudos to ESC, but John Gaeta is a complete buttwipe.

I'm trying to virtually cover my ears and go lalalalala until wednesday, so not reading anything else..going to be extremely difficult.

But do have to chime in to agree that Gaeta deserves a good kick in the motorcycle pants there..it's like he's out to make Stan Winston seem humble in comparison..what a jackass.
