Those Bullet Effects In Terminator 2 Weren’t CGI

quote [ The effects were done by Stan Winston, who died in 2008, but a video and short blurb shared by the Stan Winston School of Character Arts revealed, to our surprise and delight, that the bullet impact effects were not CGI.

How was this accomplished? ]

This making the rounds: Interesting movie trickery.

I gave it a WTF as those effects are crazy.
I also find that a lot of the effects in the original Jurassic Park also look more realistic than the Jurassic World effects.
I realize that one of the problems is the trend toward di-cromatic lighting.
(is this " double-complementary color scheme"?)
It seems that if you choose to film in blue and orange (and I know this is a generalization) then you are already compromising effects over a certain style.
It almost seems like the effects crew should consider putting together their shots based on how they look on shitty small televisions.
But then I think a lot of HD shots on televisions already look like they are filmed on cheap video cameras and have a "soap opera" look.

The splash wounds definitely matched with the CGI version closing up.

Maybe you would have the actors walking backwards then.

I LOVE stories like these! Reminds me of an ExtraGoodshit panoply.
