Looks like most the people commenting have opposing views to mine.

Personally, I think VFX is amazing, I'm always impressed at what things they can actually do, and looking at how simple some of the things are just shows that VFX could be utilised so much more easily with independent productions to look like full on features that have huge sets.

I've done some VFX before and it's pretty cool stuff, the hard part is learning how to do it properly, then it's easy and enjoyable (At least, on my hobbyist level it's easier).

Something I hate so is when you go to Twitter and see people with a greenscreen as their profile picture, with text overlaid saying "This is what your movie would look like without VFX" - that's what you call talking out of your ass; greenscreens/bluescreens can be pulled off using a film process, and what did we have before VFX? Large sets, miniatures, and special effects, so stop saying that without VFX, we'd be fucked. I agree that they VFX artists deserve more pay, but it's not like the film industry would be dead without them, and it's not like every VFX artist is unique; it's not like a high paid actor where there's only one of them on the planet.

Lastly, is that Lana Del Rey? Much much better song than her neckbeard 'Video Games' song.
