And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It seems like we're getting more actor pushback against working on lovely green screen sets. At least with the Volume you can see where you're supposed to be.

good imo. green screen poo poo is lame and too many lazy directors rely on it and make the poor vfx workers deal with their poo poo.

I worked on Shazam 2, which used an LED wall instead of a greenscreen for the scenes on the school rooftop, and honestly a greenscreen would have been better. The LED graphics were only placeholder, so we had to do a lot of really precise rotoscoping for characters with frizzy hair rather than just pulling a key, and were kind of locked-in to certain things like the position of the sun, since no amount of roto is going to to be able to change the bright light shining right behind their shoulder.

LED walls can be good if you've got something close to the final assets to use when filming, but an inexperienced director with a green screen is at least going to give you more clean pieces when you have to fix their stuff than an inexperienced director with an LED wall.

My hot take is try and do it for real. The volume was a cool experiment but like you said inexperienced filmmakers aren’t using it right and thus making it harder on vfx artists.

I’m watching the chair now because I’m on a weird Shane Dawson is a freak watching party. The chair is a 2014 show about two filmmakers who each make a film using the same script and make their own changes to it and stuff

Shane Dawson’s first test shot for his film is a green screened driving shot and it looked like absolute crap. He did it because it’s easy and he’s used to it on his YouTube channel

I saw the final clip. Looks bad.

Yeah, people were coming around on Shia LeBouf when he was self-depreciating but not so much when it turned out he was an actual psycho.

That's the one where Zachary Quinto is financing Dawson's film for some reason, yeah?

Watching Quinto slowly get more and more frustrated over the course of the season was very funny.

Yeah but they did it for the cool show idea. I don’t think he picked Shane out tbh. That was on Chris moore.

But the reaction to him post watching the film was incredible

I wish I had a clip of it isolated.

This stuff is less predictable than you think. The first Austin Powers movie is extremely aimed at boomers, but teenagers loved it (the sequels adjusted accordingly) and Fight Club was very much about being in your late twenties-early thirties and became every 13 year old's favourite film.
