Hmmm...just playing devil's advocate but maybe D.O. cut the Smallville advertising budget so its FX budget could be bigger?Comment

Quite frankly, they were below par, these effects were at season 3 level.
Siren's scream was pretty good, i never like they way here scream was partrayed anyway but atleast it is easy to pull of seeing as its just a wave simulation that distorts the image, although as it with most CGI 90% of the time is spent tweaking the final effect which is where the effect becomes expensive, it was the best effect in the show.
AC's first appearance was pretty terrible aswell, they must have rushed that one out quick, the perspective wasn't right niether was the ice effect, dammit why can't practical effects be used more?
The zoom out from the 3 guys at standing outside was rubbish aswell, that CGI was exactly the same quality i'm capable of pulling off with vastle cheaper software it looked very amateurish.
The arrow effect was near perfect.
The effect of the MM carrying Clark to the sun just looked cheesy, this was because it was so damn short.Last edited by TheANIMAL (marcus); 09-22-2008, 06:03 AM.Comment
