Intellectually I know that the cgi budget of HDM s3 has to be spread out very carefully in order to accommodate everything that happens in the third book. I remember having a lot of concerns about the budget for a potential s3 way back when the show first aired seeing the general lack of dæmons walking around due to the budget constraints of animating them all + the witches, the bears, and the arctic scenes. And there’s a lot that happens in the Amber Spyglass that needs cgi to pull off properly. Ergo, i understand that they have to manage their budget carefully, prioritize things where they can, and know where to cut things out where necessary.

However I am still very put out by the fact that the dragonflies don’t seem to be in the series.

#original post #fandom #his dark materials #the amber spyglass #paragraphs in the tags #im actually sad we won't get to see the dragonflies in live action i loved them so much #while i do have mixed feelings about the fact that the gallivespians can apparently fly on their own now a la the witches #i have no doubt that the final season's going to be great and in the grand scheme of things this won't amount for much #and tbf the stuff from the trailer does look awesome!!#the intention craft especially looks as weirdly janky yet smooth and elegant as i'd always hoped it would!!#the angels look absolutely insane and the harpies are great!#the locations also look very 👀👀👀#alsoalso im really glad we're actually getting the gallivespians at all this season #last i checked in with the series was a while back and i was really worried they'd end up being cut #so this is still a lot more than i thought there'd be #still‚‚‚ i'll miss the funky big bugs so much
