Man, the breakdown of modern vfx is so boring and depressing. Whenever somebody asks "I wonder how they did it" in regards to any modern film, I roll my fucking eyes. It's CGI. All of it. Everything has just been replaced with CGI. Even when it doesn't need to be and can be done in some other way, it's CGI. Even films that allegedly "use practical effects" and "are shot on location" are lying, everything practical has been replaced with CGI or plastered with so much CGI that it might as well be CGI.Back in the day, there were entire televised programs about 'movie magic', and it was as interesting a watch as the film itself, often more so. Seeing all the insane creative solutions people came up with to realize all those different effects. Your mind would melt knowing what people had to do. Always filled you with excitement and motivation.Now it's all been farmed on the exact same software, with the same exact solution to every problem and the same exact look.

>Whenever somebody asks "I wonder how they did it"what people are you hanging around for them to be asking this? the answer being "CGI" is so ubiquitous people sometimes mistake non-CGI things for CGI
>>220807837would you spend 100$ as an unemployed teen/twenty-something for a movie night (with cola and popcorn for yourself and gf)?no?then who will pay for those practical effects, which nowadays would cost 10x more than 30 years ago because the knowledge is lost?

It's kinda wild that the most magical aspect of Lord Of The Rings isn't even the film itself, but all of the behind scenes stuff with the Weta workshop and location shooting and shit.CGI was also still magic at the time, a tool rather than the grim future of everything, and that was even with ROTK's production showing hints of how it was already becoming a dominating force.
