On June 05 2011 13:24 flamewheel wrote: It's kind of weird, but yesterday after watching the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, I stayed afterwards to read the credits. I had never really thought about it too much, but reading the long list of people--not just the actors--that helped to make the movie what it was, it hit me that it's not entirely about those who are the on-screen stars. So after reading this today, I've definitely gained a new level of respect for those who work not only behind the scenes, but on the scenes themselves as well. Typically, a large visual effects movie might have 500 to 1000 people working on the effects alone, across several companies. It's a lot of work! Just to put it in perspective, my personal lighting work on Golden Compass was about one minute, and it was a two hour film, of which maybe 90 minutes required visual effects. And, lighting is only one small part of the process! So yeah, don't feel bad about leaving the theater before the credits are over, but if you can take a moment to think about how much work went into even a crappy visual effects movie, I'm sure the people who worked on it would appreciate it.  | ||

I have often wondered while watching advertisments like that last one linked, who was making them, and how they ended up in that field... I never would have guessed that there would be people such as yourself with degrees in physics and working in the industry for 15 years of all things making them. A truly wonderful read, I thank you again, and wish you all the best for the future. | ||

It's depressing that traditional animation (hand drawn) has become so rare on the big screen... Good luck with your career. | ||
