Nowadays, you can't broadcast dodgy special effects and then put up a caption saying, 'Sorry, this is what the budget was.' You have to do it with high production values because the audience has been spoilt by the special effects on things like 'The X Files' and 'Independence Day.'

Jed Mercurio

I try to express in my films things that no other art can approach. In my monster films for example, I use special effects in the same way one would use a special film stock, a special camera, and so on. Monster films permit me to use all of these elements at the same time. They are the most visual kind of film.

Ishiro Honda

Special effects are characters. Special effects are essential elements. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.

Laurence Fishburne

There were challenges with production because of the special effects. There are just some things that, although written, special effects just isn't able to do.

Shawn Wayans

I think some of the special effects in Close Encounters hold up better than the new more expensive special effects is because they were better actually.

Bob Balaban

There is a lot of use of ProTools in professional studios, but this is mostly for the special effects it allows, not for sound quality. These special effects soon fall out of fashion, and I don't think this trend will define studios permanently.

Steve Albini

Usually, when special effects get in the way, it's because the story isn't strong enough. If you don't start with a strong screenplay, it's easy to fall back on special effects, thinking it's going to carry you. But it never works. It's just tiresome.

Ridley Scott

Really successful designs can be created without software produced "special effects." Identities do not NEED bevels, gradations, 3-D imagery, Web 2.Oh-Oh and other oh so "special" treatments to be great design solutions for clients.

Jeff Fisher

A good storyteller can hold everybody captive without the special effects of Hollywood.

Phil Keoghan

CGI is done after the film is done. It's through the computer. Most of the film is not computer-generated special effects. Most of it is that creature that is in the room with you.

Sanaa Lathan

But initially when I was working with my dad, it was in special effects puppets with radio control and motors and puppet effects.

Brian Henson

Filmmakers began to experiment with special effects almost as soon as motion pictures were invented. The history of special effects is the history of motion pictures.

Ben Burtt

To try and raise a budget for a film that is strictly for adults and both strong and graphic in content is not easy, especially when there is pressure to spend serious money on good special effects.

Dario Argento

Three years after starting, by physically doing everything from raising the finance to special effects, we'd finally cobbled together our low budget film.

Yahoo Serious

I like to work in films, but I'd love to work in the technical side of film. I'd love to work with, say, Greg Nicotero [The Walking Dead] in kind of, like, special makeup effects. I'd probably say, "Good with clay and latex." Although I don't know what kind of job that'd get me.

Simon Pegg
