I realized I probably shouldn't hop on a post and just will make my own little vent about CGI.

I'm real sick of people shitting on CGI just for the sake of it. It's giving Luddite tbqh.

You guys know that CGI is still painstakingly made by artists, right? It's an exploited industry rife with abuse full of people who care about their craft.

Like, look, I get it, I like shitting on it too- I also like practical effects a lot! Both would be fantastic!

But I also know people in the VFX industry are exhausted from being belittled and invalidated on all sides when they work really fucking hard and make a lot of genuinely amazing things.

I don't want to make anyone feel like shit for enjoying a joke or having a laugh, and I certainly don't want to dismiss legit frustrations with the industry.

But can we like give artists a little bit of a break? Could we stop feeling so entitled and arrogant towards these people? It's hard enough for artists as is.

#i hope this doesn't blow up #but on the off chance this post is about people who just hate CGI basically on principle #and the 'i don't care if the CGI is good it should have been practical effects' image really ticks me off #i love practical effects with all of my heart and soul #CGI and practical effects are beautiful women who should be passionately making out or cuddling #i know this post is whiny but I'm a very tired artist trying to break into industry and I've been kicked a lot while I'm down so #I'm just going to bat for my peers #and also venting #also a lot of this anger is fueled by the fact VFX artists are very exploited in industry and then just thrown as lambs to slaughter #by the companies and the public when projects fail to look good
