Im a VFX PM and I love talking about movies 🎥🎬🍿 Stay tuned for the behind the scenes featurettes you deserve to see, but Hollywood Marketing departments won’t make 😎

🐾🇻🇪🩷💜🩵
I blame a lot of it on the marketing of movies like mission impossible always framing injuries as commitment. I do hope we shift away from it, it is absolutely wild the amount of horror stories we hear

Absolutely agree this whole ‘the horror is real’ well it shouldn’t be cause this is a freaking gig

“Not a green screen in sight” - filmbro on the internet probably

Or no VFX at all, let us not forget the insane witch hunt that went on the Legend of Ochi because the puppet *checks notes* was too symmetrical and had shinny hair and eyes

I think we ARE turning a corner, just gotta make sure these kinds of headlines keep getting pushback

We were so close to an honest summer 🤣 Honestly, one thing that caught my attention was the fact that Del toro corrected him despite the stuff he himself said a few days before - I ran to the comments on the Hollywood reporters TikTok and most believe it or not are not finding this charming

They’re having this same argument on comment sections with F1 hahaha It’s killing me, who is the source… And why aren’t they a skit on my channel yet. Someone needs to snitch

Where is this Cg masking thing coming from it’s the latest filmbro lingo and it’s driving me actually bonkers

When I tell you I have been WAITING for this. I’m gonna reschedule my entire posting slate

Yup and no amount of fiction will let you reach the level of detachment and blissful unawareness and innocence of childhood either
August 25, 2025 at 2:23 PM
A lot of it is comparing movies to the sense of wonder you had when watching them as a child.. which is never going to come back, nothing will ever compare. But they’re seeking that sense of wonder and instead of letting it go and enjoying things differently, they’re looking at someone to blame

I made a video on this but I think titling your videos “Great, Good and Bad VFX” conditions your audience into thinking all VFX can only be one of those 3 things removing all nuance from the discussion and normalising the moving goal post behavior that anti cg bros have online

🥹🥹🥹 thanks guys 💙 I do try, someone out there has to explain in a short format why filmbros are making by stuff up haha
August 24, 2025 at 8:27 PM
Or how “they made them grey so that nobody can key them”? Cause clearly, only blue and green are usable for VFX you see
August 24, 2025 at 8:17 PM
Loving the name and shame hahaha
