Our news reporting has gathered a reputation for credibility, independent coverage and focus on quality journalism. Our feature articles are known for their in-depth analyses and impact on the CG scene. “5 out of 5 artists recommend it.”
Even breakdowns have diminished to these quickly mashed together imagery, gone are the days when we used to watch how they passionately made the Mummy or Davy Jones or even see wireframes, Pre-viz, blocking, created tools just enough to work that Softimage to turn the wheel.
Maybe they don’t have the time or PR department just gave up doing more of the same. Truth is the VFX industry has turned into the Mcdonalds and burger kings, the fast food fast consumption, rinse repeat into the grinder. Hey who can blame them when the movies they work on are so sub-par if not garbage worth hundreds of millions to make.
Then again we can always find fresh new green recruits who wouldn’t care and just in after watching a few tutorials on youtube hungry to be thrown in for that chance of getting their names in a credit list no one bothers to read anymore.
You`re so right with everything!
…I remember, when I was a kid I always read the credits, especially on those legendary films like T2, Jurassic Park etc. nowadays I at best take a glimpse on which companies were involved. Reading those poor people who did the work would be like reading the names of people in a phone number book…
Well, 3D isn’t the shiny new thing that it once was …
When “the special” isn
t special anymore theres no point in calling it that or, in many cases, even using it…Hamburgers aren’t shiny new things we eat, but let me show you how a good home cooked good burgers are done and that alone may deserve its own ” behind the scenes” from the preparition of the meat down to the ingredients and flame cooking just done right. Or would you care to watch how the machines grind some meat and a packaged whatever called a burger gets delivered ready to go at McDonald’s?
Streaming has killed any behind the scenes bonuses.
Remember DVDs, you could buy a better edition, and it would include hours of bonus footage, behind the scenes, cast interviews, etc. But everyone wants to watch everything for nothing, so I guess there isn’t the budget there for this kind of thing anymore.
Yeah, it’s a cost thing mainly. The shot count of shows are getting gigantic at this point and the margins are scarily small. The studios making the films generally don’t pay for breakdowns / interviews so doing something really involved would be a costly labour of love for a vfx facility :/
You want better breakdowns, then watch this:

The Creator was great, but Godzilla Minus One was mind-blowing on a $15 million budget.
