Enshittification continues, unabated.

I found a channel on YouTube that shows quick breakdowns of CG work in modern films. At first, most of it was impressive. Lots of things I had no idea were CG. But, now that I think about it, it’s probably the main reason modern film seems so cheap and unimpressive. Like I can tell less effort was made than in the movies from the 80’s that I adore. Why scout areas or film on location when you can green screen or just film somewhere cheap and edit in post?

AI will make that lazy crap look like the golden years.
