I get that actors are expensive, but how does it ever get to insane numbers like 350 million (for endgame) and 200 million (for titanic).

Am I missing some insane cost? And why do some of the best movies ever suddenly cost a lot less?

    They’re starting to use sets where, instead of having greenscreen, the walls are giant LED screens where they display the background. This way the director has complete control of what is going on in the scene in the moment. (also, with greenscreen you can get a weird green reflection on the actors that needs to be corrected for).

      If sure there’s a pros and cons list for green screen vs LED wall, but honestly I think it’s just so amazing that LED tech has come as far as it has so quickly!
