Last weekend’s Visual Effect Society Production Summit brought some interesting conversation on how what has typically lived in Post-Production is moving closer and closer to actual shooting, with the push for digital camera putting things like color timing on-set.
Also, there was a lot of discussion of the recent crumbling of several VFX houses.
Keynote speaker Bill Mechanic criticized the film biz as being “in a period of technical virtuosity and creative mediocrity. Movies are getting bigger and worse.” He noted that so far, of 2010’s top 10 grossers, only one, “Inception,” was not a remake, sequel or toon.
