Limitation: The Use of CGI

CGI is something that has been used for many years now within live action film to help tell stories that would otherwise be impossible without the help of CG animation. Animation has been used before in live action film to help tell a more compelling story, such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit. However, the use of CG animation has become a thing that is being used in almost every film that we watch, making it grossly overused. With the advancement of computers and CG animation the limitations of what can be done with CG animation are becoming less compared to what can actually be achieved, and whilst this is a good thing, it also means that films such as Interstellar, which use full scale sets and props, are becoming less popular among directors and producers.

This is more than likely because it has become a lot cheaper to create CG animation than it is to create full sized props. However, with technology advancing so quickly, today's special effects and CG animation will quickly become outdated, meaning that the learning curve for creating such effects is a very steep one making CG animation both an effective tool as well as a very difficult tool in terms of keeping it up to date.
