Topic: The development and role of VFX in film
As films have evolved and become more digital, the post-production part of the film has also improved over time. VFX seems to be gaining more and more importance in films. It can even be a publicity stunt for a film. So can vfx be a gimmick for a film? Should the focus of the film be on the story itself or on the technology of storytelling? Does too much post-production keep the audience from focusing more on the story of the film itself? Should the production team avoid too much use of vfx when they can pull off live action? In many of the documentaries that I have seen on film and television, I have seen production teams shoot most of the footage directly in green screen, leaving much of the footage that could have been shot in real time to the post-production team. How do you weigh up vfx and live action.
