CGI vs. Practical

   This article discusses the differences in CGI and practice effect and how they are both necessary to make something look realistic. This reminds me a lot of the arguments between digital and traditional art. They both have their advantages. I'm not sure how well they could be used together but I'd imagine they could be. I agree that there are certain scenes that just look better in CGI or practical and there are also many that work well in both. Effects improve greatly every year and normally you see a good combination of both types of effects used to accomplish that.
