Practical Effects in Film: Robert Kurtzman on Their Legacy and Revival

In this video, I discuss an article from Bounding Into Comics featuring an exclusive interview with practical effects legend Robert Kurtzman at Nightmare Weekend in Rosemont, Illinois. The article explores the impact of practical effects in films, focusing on 1980s horror classics like Nightmare on Elm Street 3, Predator, and John Carpenter’s The Thing. I share why practical effects create a more immersive movie experience, the balance between CGI and practical effects, and how pioneers like Rick Baker, Stan Winston, and Tom Savini shaped the industry. I also mention my own thoughts on practical effects in the Star Wars Original Trilogy and briefly reference Godzilla Minus One to illustrate their effectiveness. The article highlights the resurgence of practical effects in streaming media and their continued importance in filmmaking. Check out the full article linked below for more details!
