What’s funny is that considering the waste and negligence described in the article, I bet it’s cheaper to wreck 104 real cars than to pay a VFX team to do it.
The Revenant is one of the last movies in recent memory that seemed to do something novel.
If we’re going to primarily be inundated with highly computer-influenced content, I prefer it to not try to look perfectly real which is why I’ve really enjoyed some of the animated series that have popped up recently. I’ll also admit that I’ve seen Into the Spider-Verse because my friends wouldn’t let me avoid it. I’ll give Marvel a pass on that one—the animation is amazing.

This reminds me: you know that scene in Tenet where a Boeing goes into building? It was neither VFX nor a model. It was a full size, real Boeing. Nolan said it was cheaper.

Credit where credit is due: Spider-verse is the result of the phenomenal teams at Sony Pictures Imageworks. They absolutely nailed this movie, I could rewatch it countless times and still be amazed.
SPI has also produced some amazing technology for the industry, such as being the originator of the Arnold render engine, OpenColorIO (OCIO), and Open Shading Language (OSL).
Netflix could not accept my payment because of some clerical error on their side and they were unwilling to fix it when I called trying to give them money. They literally could not take my money so I’ve been without Netflix for the last year, sadly. I’m a little salty because what company would deliver a canned “we can’t do that due to system error maybe try later idk lol” message to a customer when money is on the line? It’s absurd. /rant
