Low-Budget Eye Candy

A new video takes a look at George Lucas’s seminal SciFi Masterpiece “THX-1138″ and analyzes how he was able to achieve such suspense and intrigue without any CG effects and a substantially smaller budget that most modern movies.  It emphasizes the need for a return to classic filmmaking strategies without all the pizzazz and flash of modern CG and VFX work.

Not to say that VFX and CG isn’t fun to look at, I like an explosion just like any other guy, but the video’s creator has a point that THX-1138 and American Graffiti had a far better story and use of film than any of the new Star Wars Prequels.
