    Funny you should mention I am Legend. A friend works for Sony Image works and when I was in LA a few years ago I was visiting him at the studio and I was shown the original make up shots. They looked so awesome, but they had to change them to CGI at the 11th hour. :(

    I'm looking forward to the new Star Wars for all the practical affects, puppets etc.

    As Kincade said " Sometimes, the old ways are the best" ;)
    I know stop frame is basically dead, but I remember seeing
    Some footage from Jurassic Park, using it ( before they decided
    to CGI the Dino's) and it impressed me, very natural movement.
    Although I can understand using CGI for that movie as the amount
    of time " Stop motion" would have needed.

    I guess the word you were looking for is TERRIBLE :(
    even the video looks very cheap

    Thank you for your constructive and well thought out feedback HatThrowingHenchman remembering that several human beings with feelings have put a lot of time and effort in to this. I appreciate the time you took to write just one positive thing and being a true supportive member of the James Bond community.
    I wish you well with all your creative endeavours in the future :)

    maybe I chose the wrong and too harsh words!
    what I meant is that I don't particularly like her interpretation of the song and so on.
    as for the video, I didn't read that you made it, I thought something else.
    I really didn't want to insult you and your work!
    I apologise...

    No harm done. Cheers for the apology.

    It is a very different interpretation of the song and it's not going to be to every ones taste. I myself still prefer the original Adele version and I personally think backing track could have been bigger to give give it a more Bond feel but I wasn't involved in that side of the production just the visuals.

    I just had fun trying to replicate and take inspiration from the various title sequences in a similar way I did with the Rebel music video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU5M8hC_TvE and the Bond Experience titles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQT47hHrZaA I directed.

    Making Bond video stuff is great fun and reminds me of being a kid when I first got into film-making running around the house in a tux shooting mini Bond movies. :)

    just to add to our discussion on bad cgi, here are a few
    Baffling uses of it. ;)

    Video is awesome! Job well done.

    Shelley's a very good singer however her style doesn't go with the song at all.
    Pussy Galore: “My name is Pussy Galore.”
    Bond: “I must be dreaming.”

    A little bit of anger management therapy needed there, but essentially I agree!

    CGI is a tool that should be used alongside miniatures, mattes and other old school techniques. The most annoying thing is Hollywood is convinced is papers over a crappy script. In actuality it does the reverse, making things worse! That's why I am approaching the new Star Wars with extreme caution, till I see the promise of practical effects.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    I thought, the adding nipples to covered up nipples, just amazingly silly. :))

    Here's how Skyfall should be sung.
