Maybe celebrity film directors like Taika Waititi shouldn't be laughing about subpar visual effects, but lobbying on behalf of VFX artists themselves.
along with star Tessa Thompson, the pair can be seen staring at a monitor and joking about a scene from the movie:“Does that look real?” Waititi says, pointing at the CGI character he plays, a humanoid pile of rocks named Korg. “In that particular shot — no, actually,” Thompson replies, and they both laugh.
Marvel may come in for some of the worst criticism from VFX artists, but it’s far from alone. It’s an industrywide problem.on Vimeo While accepting the award for “Life of Pi,” visual effects supervisor Bill Westenhofer mentioned the company’s financial struggles, but he was drowned out by the orchestra, which began playing the theme from “Jaws” — or as one of his colleagues put it, he was “Jaws’d” off stage. Adding salt to the wound, neither Lee, who won for best director, nor Claudio Miranda, who won for best cinematography, thanked the VFX team in their speeches.
One of the founders of Rhythm & Hues is named John Hughes and he is soft-spoken and clearly troubled by what he sees happening. Also, the director has little if any direct contact with the VFX artists themselves. You can start to see how it’s possible that someone like “Thor” director Waititi would half-jokingly ask “does that look real?” as if he had no involvement in the process. It’s clearly maddening for the VFX artists.
