In tomorrows news: Disney decides to invest in AI generated VFX for their movies
They likely already are to be honest.
The opening credits for Secret Invasion were reportedly done (at least partially) with AI.
And people will praise them. Because did you see how bad Sebastian Stan’s hair looked in that movie? Why are we paying these horrifically overworked VFX staff anything?
Oh, no, sorry. People will clown on Marvel because this means everyone’s hands and feet will look bad because nobody understands how training data sets work or why The Simpsons have four fingers. And then lose their minds when it looks “good enough”.
But yeah… more power to the VFX studios and I hope this spreads so that we have fewer “you have one month to do the money shot for our entire movie” debacles. But… I don’t see this ending well.
Also: how much does marvel have in post-production right now? Since they can’t film anything. Feels like it might be easy to “wait out” a vfx strike. Especially since they tend to be even more underpaid than the writers.

This is fantastic news for those artists. Marvel is nortorious (and many many others) for requesting changes or scope creeping to a point that entire studios are canabalising themselves in order to stay afloat. Studios going under the literal opening day of a movie. I really hope for the best for them!
This is great, VFX teams at large studios have been under increasing amounts of crunch lately, it’s become indefensibly abusive at this point so I’m glad that theyre getting this done.
🥳
