If VFX recreations are so easy, why did the originals cost so much?
Briefly

Blender has made 3D modeling and VFX accessible to many, leading to a rise in breakdowns showcasing impressive effects on social media. A recent Reddit meme sparked debate regarding why Hollywood VFX is costly despite user-friendly tools. Users argue that exhaustive detailing and client demands inflate production time and costs. Critics note that while recreations seem simple, they overlook the initial creative process and the complexities involved in professional work, highlighting a disparity between casual users and industry demands.
YouTubers and their audiences think that VFX artists 'fucked all kinds of shit up and made it stupid and wrong'. The reality is that we made exactly what the client wanted.
The real reason these shots cost so much is because the director is pixel fucking the motion blur of a distant shadow on version 875 four months after the due date.
