The “No CGI” dynamic around films is odd and reveals, IMO, that mainstream anti-tech sentiment in capitalism only flies as a consumer’s affectation.

I didn’t know about this apart from the usual under-appreciation and under-paying of VFX staff.

But then the “No CGI is just invisible CGI” series (https://www.youtube.com/@TheMovieRabbitHole/videos) and this clip about the Barbie behind the scenes *hiding the bluescreen by filling it in* (https://youtu.be/fPNpFqXraKE?si=yYu569bY8d41DZ2f&t=509) … reveals a profession is being smothered.

    And yet when chatGPT and Dall-e come out everyone drops their shit ready to presume the great all-knowing AI godhead has arrived. Why? Well it suits them as consumers, and that was my point.

    I don’t know modern music well enough but it’d be interesting to compare to the weird state music technology has gotten to with synthesisers and digital tooling having completely matured now to the point where a laptop can replace a studio. Anyone advertise “no digital” like Jack White did?
