The key to digital effects is to do things that are visually accurate but done cheaply and approximated.
The theater itself is a lie. Its deaths are mere special effects. Its tales never happened. Even the histories are distorted for dramatic effect. The theater is unnatural, a place of imagination. But the theater tells the audience something true: that the world requires judgments.

All countries will feel the increasing effects of dangerous climate change and it is those least able to bear it who are already being hurt first and hardest.

We need to make the bullies aware of what they’re doing, why it’s wrong, and the effects it has on the kids who they are doing it to. You can see the light bulbs going off in these kids’ heads when I say this. I try to put them in the situation of those being bullied. It just makes them aware.
It is difficult to think of anything more important than providing the best education possible for our children. They will develop the next technologies, medical cures, and global industries, while mitigating their unintended effects, or they will fail to do these things and consign us all to oblivion.
Movies like that aren’t about the visual effects and explosions. They’re human stories about family, about life, about death.
I think ‘MythBusters’ is a step up from special effects because we not only have to make things look like they work, they actually do have to work. It’s more challenging and even transcendental.

People often tell me how much they love the digital skies that we obviously painted for ‘War Horse.’ Well, there’s not a single sky that we put in through special effects. The skies you see in the movie are the skies that we experienced – but it was definitely challenging at times.
One of poetry’s great effects, through its emphasis upon feeling, association, music, and image – things we recognize and respond to even before we understand why – is to guide us toward the part of ourselves so deeply buried that it borders upon the collective.

The negative effects of greedy politicians have haunted the north-east for years; it’s very apparent.
To my knowledge, there have been no studies done on the effects of antidepressants and altitude. But it is hugely important to find out if there are side effects.

I did what we call dry for wet effects, some of the miniatures work and two animation sequences.
I have serious concerns about the potential risks of taking lots of fish oil capsules. So much fish oil can have paradoxical effects, reducing immune function in later life.
The environmental effects of the automobile are well known: motor vehicles cause, for example, as much as 75 percent of the noise and 80 percent of the air pollution in our cities, and the industry must face mounting pressure from environmentalists.
We do take seriously our obligation to assess whether our reforms are achieving their desired effects without imposing unnecessary burden.
I often use a return channel to get some shape out of the bass. It’s a good way to split the frequencies of the bass so that the sub bass is clean and in mono and the higher end of the bass sound can be filtered off – have it on an audio channel and that’s where you can use effects.
For many gay and bisexual men of color, economic inequalities add to the pernicious effects of oppression and homophobia.
The copycat effects of media violence, similar to those previously attributed to westerns, radio serials and comic books, are easy to exaggerate.

The real purpose of welfare is to get rid of poor people entirely. Everybody knows welfare has bad effects; that’s the point.
I totally don’t believe that things have to be expensive for beauty. In fact, I’m always a little bit wary if they are… because I’m like, ‘What kind of chemicals are in there? What’s going to happen in ten years, when we find out what the side effects are?’
Everybody looks at the negative effects of global warming, but with the ice melting, the Northern Passage has opened up. So maybe, instead of being at the end of the pipeline, we’re now at the beginning of a new pipeline.
The ill effects of thought come about when we forget that thought is a function of our consciousness… an ability that we as human beings have. We are the producers of our own thinking.

Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do.
I do think that one of the best effects the Internet has had on music is that it’s allowed these false walls between different music communities to vaporize. We can see that this is a big, complex, interconnected web.

The advantages of globalization are actually much like the advantages of technological improvement. They have very similar effects: they raise output in countries, raise productivity, create more jobs, raise wages, and lower prices of products in the world economy.
