I've been pretty startled by recent trends in media
One Piece Netflix adaptation, all pirate ships are being built full scale from real wood
TOP GUN movie in theatres, not one CG plane, all real flights
Most of Disney's output over the next year is live action
So I started thinking
Are the rendering farms being used exclusively for deep fakes and psyops? Therefore entertainment has to do everything with as little CG as possible
I just got back from Top Gun, surprisingly really good.
I was wondering throughout the movie what was CGI, but also pondering why Cruise in the intro mentioned "real F-18s" used in the movie, I guess that's why, no CGI...
