Part 10/13:
Nostalgia for Practical Effects and Classic Sci-Fi
Throughout the debate, there's a clear nostalgia for the tactile, real effects of past films and shows. They praise Thunderbirds and similar puppet-based shows, noting how practical models and puppetry evoke a sense of weight and authenticity that CGI cannot replicate. The sense of craftsmanship and tangible scale contributes to their charm.
They also admire the craftsmanship behind iconic sound effects, like the Borg roar in Star Trek, emphasizing that practical Foley work adds a depth to the audio landscape that enhances immersion and storytelling.
