first shot: real prop with keyed UI panel. second shot: VFX version on the suit model.

as someone who consumes a lot of entertainment or as a creator, how did the VFX in the Flash (2023) seem to you? The movie has been delayed, changed director, writers and been reshot extensively. If this is the result it’s at least interesting to see shots like this in a $300+ million summer blockbuster. I also feel for VFX workers who had to do crunchtime and come up with passable solutions like this because of the unrealistic deadlines hollywood execs came up with.

    No worries mate; The movie has been in production hell for the last 10 years, changed like 10 good directors as well as writers, has had reshoots and cast-drama behind the scenes. Then Warner got bought by Discovery and their new CEO gave the DC helm to James Gun. With them also inheriting some leftover movies from the Snyderverse they had to finish and release some of them, while cancelling others. If Flash looks like this, how bad was the written off-as-a-loss Batwoman?

    The Animations in the released movie look a lot like preliminaries. They seem unfinished or at least very rushed. To see such low quality in a blockbuster has become unusual. i’m not criticizing the artists, just surprised that this is what the leadership decided to produce, reshoot and then release to make some losses back
