Hey BBC, if your writers don't know how movies are made or why certain movies are successful then maybe just don't publish stories about the topic. (No, I will not link to the dumb piece.)

"This summer, practical effects have ruled: Backrooms, Obsession - heck, even The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Michael [have limited digital trickery].

Imagine if every time a behind the scenes show had an orchestra the press would go and write “No artificial digital sound mix, this movie features an all practical score”

It’s almost that time of the year 🤣 With marketing campaigns for the summer kickstarting, the “No CGI / All Practical / Done for real” are bound to make an appearance… turning my peaceful social chats into a discussion forum

I’m starting to see ‘behind the scenes’ and inside the episode featurettes showing VFX but also using some of the words that I use in my videos like ‘highlighting collaboration’ etc etc… I just want to say I’m thrilled and I do consulting 🤣
