Hello everyone! For one of my university classes I am creating a newspaper publication about the emergence of F1 Academy and the women who make the series possible. As a part of my research, I would really love to gather some fan opinions and experience regarding the series and women's motorsports as a whole. If you have time, please consider filling this survey out and reblogging it so it can reach as many people as possible! Thank you so much in advanced for your time, it's a huge help! Can't wait to share the final project with you guys.

hey! i finally got around to answering this!! happy womens day to all my babygirls out there! remember to hold your fave drivers accountable and to stop babying them seeing that they are privileged and grown rich men who have it easy... they're not sheltered, they're being ignorant just because it doesn't affect them directly. it's their sport and realistically, they should be caring more than they should.
Nostalgic memory loss and cherry picking annoy me to the core.
2006 features other CGI-laden flims such as...
Son of the Mask
And Ultraviolet
While 2024 featured...
Dune 2
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
This shot was literally impossible to create in 2006.
Good CGI is made by good artists who have the proper funding, time, and resources. The year doesn't matter.
There has always been bad CGI. There has always been good CGI.
Current CGI is much more advanced and allows for much bigger stories to be told. Most of it is so good, people do not even realize they are looking at CGI. Yes, Top Gun 2 shot a lot of amazing practical footage. But they still had 2400 VFX shots.
And no one could tell the difference.
But also, movies with 2000+ CG shots usually have a quality delta. They run short on time and budget and they have to prioritize which shots get the most love. If there is one valid complaint about modern CGI, it is the lack of consistency.
You might have a weird looking floating head in one scene...
And that is very easy to cherry pick and say "look at how bad CGI is these days!"
But then later in the movie you have the shadow realm moon.
A gorgeous scene that used a groundbreaking lighting effect. Using a strobe technique and a high speed camera, every frame in the scene had six different angles of lighting.
They were able to show a fast revolving sun circling around the characters without having to rig up some crazy light that flies around the room.
Again, not possible in 2006.
When artists have proper resources they will blow your mind.
CGI isn't worse. It is better than ever. It's just that the artists making Davy Jones were amazing. They had the time and money to realize their vision. They had 1400 fewer shots to make than Top Gun Maverick. (Jurassic Park only had 63.)
They also understood their limitations and didn't try to force the CG to do something it wasn't ready for yet.
