VFX makes 0 sense to me as a business especially in todays over saturated content world. I have friends in DNEG were each movie has 100-200 people working on 20-25 minutes worth of footage for an ENTIRE fucking year. Thousands of people basically. And its a coin toss whether these movies are going to get the views.

Whenever I ask them how the fuck can such a business work, they just tell me erm we are just artists and coders. The job pays well so we dont ask the corporate robots too many questions about it.

And I keep pushing them to do so, cuz it doesnt make any sense given the costs involved unless it some elaborate walter white money laundering op.
