The Sandman star: Glad the 2022 Netflix show isn’t a ‘CGI orgy’

During the time when Higher CGI budget and more remarkable than ever, there was some debate about the correct way to get them to TV shows. The nature of television doesn’t really allow time and money at the same time request visual effects, but as TV becomes more and more an arms race, companies are certainly willing to try to incorporate as much as possible. That’s all to set the stage for Sand sellers on Netflix, there’s a real talking crow.

Not really (sorry if you’re learning it here, but crows don’t speak human). But it has a picture of a crow voiced by an actor on set, and in footage, by a real crow – something Tom Sturridge, who plays Dreamfeel excited.

“A real crow!” Sturridge cried Polygon. “And a very tall man with a pumpkin on his head [playing Mervyn Pumpkinhead, voiced by Mark Hamill]. “

Although there are many other reasons why he wants to be a part of Sandman, the option of producing practically anywhere possible – even when dealing with an actual bird – still exists for him.

“There is a danger with these types of products, that they become a CGI orgy. And there’s a lot of intent with this that is always making things realistic that you can do,” Sturridge said. “The creatures of Hell are all actors in prosthetics, so you can feel their breath. And it makes all the difference as you are often expected to make leaps and bounds in your fantasy as an actor because a lot of it isn’t there. ”

It’s not for knocking on another door shows more reliance on VFXor even parts of Sandman use CGI to help translate comic ranges. But with Sand sellersSturridge hopes that the realistic effects don’t just enhance his own experience of the show.

“The thing about dreams is that you don’t know you’re inside of them, they feel real. So it’s important that in all these amazing environments, it looks like you can touch it. And we can – we can touch it, we can feel it,” Sturridge said. “The leaps are very small, and it just makes it so much easier that way.”
