The guys at Corridor Crew have spoken up about some of the difficulties VFX artists go through when making these movies. Rushed deadlines and other production issues out of their hands. As much as some like to clown bad CGI, no artists is purposely making bad art.

:bryan: Bruh VFX/3D Animation is insanely easy the playbook has been developed for damn near 20 years. Zbrush, RealFlow, AfterEffects, 3DS Max, plug-ins & scripts makes this shyt input=output. the only hard part is computer power & budget. It’s like learning all these fukkin regression models & pivot tables in college only to discover software that does it for you.

Best believe if these artists were getting paid what they deserve and didn’t deal with the bs hours they wouldn’t be saying shyt.

You are right though they should unionize, but like I said in another thread they love that shyt too and are scared of being black balled because from experience I can’t those fukkin skills don’t transfer to other industries/careers.
its mainly fear of being blackballed... cuz like you said, those skills dont translate to shyt else. either you VX'n or you baggin groceries :to:

cinematic malpractice tho :dead:

shyt liek this happens a lot of times, cuz they dont want to pay someone to just be the DP. they be thinking they can wing it. and by the time the people complain about what they saw in the movie, they already paid to see the movie. they dont give a fukk :russ:

You really downplaying how hard VFX is. That shyt ain't easy to learn at all and a few seconds can take days or even weeks. Look at following, which would seem easy:



That shyt took the creator atleast a 10 hours of work for just 40 secs..........If VFX was that easy there would be loads of people in it, but reality is that its a craft hard to master. it takes skills and years to be good at it.
