    It's literally just a better / cheaper way of filming when doing interiors like this. Practical effects look like ass to anyone who isn't a boomer. When you've grown up with video games and completely animated movies CGI can SOMETIMES look way more realistic than 5 fps stop motion or shitty wrinkly plastic dolls / rubber suits.

      Looking like a video game is a big reason why I don't like CGI. CG might look real if you're a normalgay boomer who doesn't pay attention but as someone who grew up with vidya I can tell when something is CG and it takes me out of the movie.

      they still made a real set where the dwarves could act on
      the reason gandalf had to be in a greenscreen room was because they couldn't use forced perspective tricks anymore like in LOTR due to 3D filming

    meanwhile he would be perfectly fine acting in front or behind of a matte painting
    He's just looking for something to complain about, to cope with his waning passion for acting. You can't serve 2 gods etc(acting and homosexualry)

    he was right, jackson had gone off the deep end with cgi shit, and wanting to film the hobbit in 3d meant they couldn't use practical perspective tricks to have him in the same room like his bag end scenes with bilbo and frodo in lotr.

    I never understood this dilemma. Just show the actor a rendered scene/concept art and stick a picture of it out of camera view. Playing pretend is like the first skill all humans learn as a child, an actor should have no problem outside of literally standing in a blank green/blue room

    He didn't have an issue with the room being greenscreen (they used plenty of green/bluescreen in lotr aswell).
    He had an issue with there not being any other actors on the set that he could interact with.
    He has also admitted himself that he was overreacting and being a drama queen and that there were lots of real sets and locations still being used regardless.

    this is bullshit btw They filmed the original LOTR in the exact same way in some shots to be able to get gandalf looking larger than the hobbits/dwarves. The shot where Gandalf enters bilbo's house and ducks under the chandelier in fellowship is filmed exactly like this and ian didnt seem to care then. I think its more just that hes an old man and is tired of acting.

      They built two identical sets at different scales and used forced perspective tricks, not put him in a green isolation chamber with talking lamps.

    It wasn't that he couldn't do it. Its that there was no joy in his work. Now he's not an actor working on a scene with other actors, he's an old man sitting alone in a room in front of a sterile background pretending he's a wizard.

      I kind of get it but it was probably still more fun than 99% of jobs out there and he got paid millions for it

    every field of art and entertainment has to appeal to the lowest common denominator. So when the audience is too moronic to get the point of the movie they can go "ooohhh that dragon looks so realistic!!" or "wow that chick had really big knockers, wowzaa!!!"

    It's that he felt no motivation as a character. Now reduced to a mere role. What is he here for. What are the dwarves even doing. They only care about gold yet somehow the message is about how it's wrong to acquire wealth and we should all be communists. And now there's a subplot about a mary sue, a crossdresser, and an antagonist who wasn't even alive in the books. And they can't decide how many legs Smaug has. And what the frick are those dwarven weapons supposed to be, just something to sell action figures and collectible replicas. Something was off. Gandalf knew it. What am I doing here. What am I doing with my life.

    They could just put the fighting actors in full costumes. This costs so much more money to look like ass.
