    CGI. When people say “there was too much CGI” they just mean “there was bad CGI” because the good stuff is imperceptible.

      And often that’s not because the CGI itself is bad quality, but because the effects team was asked to do the impossible with half the tools necessary. The “fix it in post” mentality.

      Even small things like having reference lighting examples from the set can be the difference between an okay outcome and something almost imperceptible.

        I was also going to post the Down The Movie Rabbit Hole series! It’s a very interesting series and well worth watching to understand the “no CGI” claims too.
