Special Effects~~

This article talks about how studios that specialize in visual effects are struggling in some ways.

I didn't know that:

• Visual effects have been around since 1902.
• Bill Westenhofer, visual effects producer of Life of Pi, said backstage at the Oscars that the business model of the visual effects department needs to change.
• The reason why people on social media sites have their profile pictures as a green color is in order to show what films would be like without visual effects.

I thought this article was interesting. I find it astonishing that the VFX companies are somewhat underestimated. I also think that this issue must be addressed, somehow.

My one question is: Will people in Hollywood finally see the underlying problem here?
