Photoshopping in Movies

[motley]

Why is it that even in "blockbuster" movies that have cost millions to make and spent years in production perfecting CGI effects pay no attention to basic detail.

I cannot remember the last film I watched when a character picks up a family portrait etc., and it didn’t look like it was Photo shopped by a partially sighted 10 year old?

Why Why Why

However big their budgets are it seems like it's never enough.

Take Transformers 3 for example. Some of the shots are lifted straight from 'The Island' and had fighting robots superimposed over the top (there's a comparison piece on Youtube if you want to see for yourself).

Maybe they should pay the actors less.

Agreed. I don't think I've seen a single movie where a 'family portrait' looks convincing. Really stands out in a high budget movie.

And sadly Bluray only adds to the issue, I rented "I am Legend" on DVD and thought what a great film, so when I saw a copy going cheap on Bluray it was purchased, however,the sequence in the Mustang at the start is picked apart by the detail of high def.

Sad really
