Interesting topic, and I think your video gets at part of the reason people bring up the value of practical effects v. CGI debate over and over again. If what we see in film is supposed to be real (or at least approximating real), how do you make it "feel" real? Is it more "real" to building set and minis and make real explosions or carefully render "accidents" into entirely created characters/sets/etc.? But I think the Monster Factory (and glitch art and its ilk) shows that verisimilitude may not be a requirement when working with computer generated images--or at least not photorealism--as long as you're not concerned with exposing the artificiality of the medium (tool?). In most blockbusters that rely on CGI, pushing the bounds of what CGI can do might pull focus from the rest of the movie (see how bad CGI can be distracting), but if done intentionally for metatextual/fictional purposes, it can be super interesting! See The Adventure Time episode A Glitch is a Glitch!! (ALSO The Eleventh Hour is such a great arc and I can't wait for you to finish the first season of the Adventure Zone but you will have all the feelings!!!)

Loved the episode! Who is your favorite TAZ character outside of the main three?
