14 DAY TRIAL // Director Darren Aronofsky has recently agreed to have a chat with green group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and share his thoughts on the use of real animals in the film industry.
The video above was posted by the organization on YouTube just yesterday, and it pretty much sums up where Darren Aronofsky stands when it comes to the CGI vs. real animals debate.
The director says that, the way he sees things, bringing various creatures on set and forcing them to behave in certain ways so as to abide by a script no longer makes any sense.
This is because CGI makes it possible to piece together rather stunning scenes without having to make animals behave in unnatural ways and traumatizing them as a result.
Darren Aronofsky also claims that, as he discovered while working on “Noah,” using CGI instead of real animals when working on a movie actually helps bring down the costs associated with film making.
What's more, employing cruelty-free technology to roll out scenes involving animals is less time-consuming than training various wild creatures and getting them to perform in front of a camera.
