I Prove Hollywood Effects Aren't BAD, They're RUSHED (www.youtube.com)

The Corridor Crew brilliantly explain how VFX isn't bad, it's rushed. Yeah I know it's the title of the video but it's true. The upper management of the studios seemingly have no idea what they're asking for. There's also some eyebrow raising examples of what happens in the industry as well.

To prove the point, Jordan has to create the visual effects shot needed in 5 minutes, then 5 hours and finally 5 days. Despite having the extra time in each case, it's still stressful for the artist.

Oh just watch the video, it's better than me trying to push the same point. 😄

Kinda interesting to see a VFX youtube channel get this real about the industry (no doubt on the back of "No CGI is really just invisible CGI", see [post here on that series](https://lemmy.ml/post/13485455)).

I don’t know about that, Corridor Crew has been keeping it real on the realities of the VFX business for years now.

Probably fair, but to the point of interviewing an insider about how the system isn’t working and how unions are probably necessary?

I’d bet, without knowing, that there’s no way unions would have even been mentioned on the show until the past year or two.

Genuinely curious to know.
