The thought that sticks with me mst from this article is the idea of how modern digital effects are redefining how the film world creates reality. Digital effects show the viewer a 'reality' that they cannot see for themselves. Weather is it reconstructions of the old or imaginations of the future.
Personally I think this technique of using CG in order to enhance the narrative is a great inivation to film. especially with more recent advances the lines between the real and computer generated are becoming ever more blured in film as techniques move on. As a filmmaker you are able to show the viewer a realistic space station of city scape to help tell a story. In a film it almost has to act as an audiences imagination, in terms of setting at least we expect to see it all. I think this overall adds to the cinematic experience.
I also think audiences are evermore accepting of digital imagery in film as we live in an ever more digitalised world. This then reflected in how we live our lives constantly surrounded by computers and digital representations.
Effects however can be overpowering and begin to hold up the narrative. I think a prime example of this is 'The Hobbit' as much as I loved the film I couldn;t help but think they tried to milk the digital effects for all they are worth. I think the story can get lost in that if one is not careful.
