I don't care what your special effects budget is, it's not going to compare with my imagination. —[livejournal.com profile] goljerp, commenting in [livejournal.com profile] papersky's journal

OK.

My problem with special effects in general is that I only notice them if they're bad -- if they're good, then they're real. Like in one of the Star Trek movies there's a woman who turns into a big cat, and it's very well done as an effect, and I remember thinking when she did it "Ah, that's why they cast someone who can't really act for that role, there probably weren't a whole lot of werecats applying!" I did know two seconds later how stupid that was, but anyway.

I don't know if I have a visual imagination or not. I see things. But I certainly don't have visual creativity like you -- Zorinth does.
