Most of the projects Castro works on call for him to create practical effects. Think of the werewolf transformation scene in 1981’sVan Helsing“It seems like there’s been a big resurgence of practical effects in the filmmaking world,” Castro said. “It used to be all about computer-generated effects for a very long time, but people seem to have gotten tired of them. Now, they want to go back to handmade [effects].
“I went to school in 2010 to learn CGI because I knew I was going to need more than just practical effects to make [] happen,” Castro said. “So, the film does have practical and digital blood. There’s a lot going on in that movie.” “Doing practical effects is kind of like being in the bad boys’ club,” he said. “Anyone can learn how to do a digital effect on a YouTube tutorial. It’s not so much an artistry as it is a technical skill.”
“That’s what digital effects were always supposed to be,” Castro said. “Somewhere along the way, someone decided to do an entire movie with digital effects, and it became something else. I remember seeing computer-generated effects for the first time when I was a kid, and they were very impressive. But now, you can do some of them with an Instagram filter.”
