Sean Rombus-Rim: Why do visual effects in so many big budget movies look bad? He asked Vulture reporter Chris Lee to give me a day in the life of a visual effects artist. "I was working these long insane hours without any kind of coverage for health," he says. Unlike writers, directors, producers, et cetera,. everyone else below the line in Hollywood is unionized except for VFX workers."
Bad visual effects in movies may have less to do with technology and more to do with workers being underpaid and overworked. Vulture senior reporter Chris Lee explains in this episode of Into It.
This episode was produced for Into It by Travis Larchuk and Jordana Hochman with help from Today, Explained's Siona Peterous, Laura Bullard, and Patrick Boyd.
