      1. Because I genuinely don't think people realize that action should be visual storytelling. 2. The Hollywood Pre-Vis machine takes it out filmmakers hands and usually puts it VFX people's hands and, quite frankly, a lot of them don't know anything about cinematic affectation.https://twitter.com/AKissFromRose/status/995967301953490944 …

      Why do you think so many modern Hollywood tentpole action sequences are divorced from characterization and story telling?

      Like the situation is really bad, y'all. I remember I was talking to someone about the basics of tension and how to make the audience think X was going to happen before Y came in and surprised them, and they just had no idea what I was even talking about it.

      They were like "but the shot of the thing looks cool like this." Looks cool. Looks cool. All I ever hear is looks cool. They have no idea what they're even after beyond posturing coolness. It's an epidemic.

          And please please do not think this is a knock on VFX artists, who are the most over-worked and systematically abused general workforce in the film industry. They're incredible. This is only a crisis of philosophy and purpose.

          Meanwhile, I'm all tension and uncool looks.

          I mean, I like "looks cool" too, but if it doesn't serve a purpose... you get a Transformers sequel. Hell, even the first Transformers had moments that used VFX wisely in its storytelling.

          Are you talking about the emphasis of set pieces and action scenes that feel disconnected to the story and modern blockbusters apply these days? Because I'm getting tired of that as well.

          Hollywood learned the wrong lessons in a big way from The Matrix and its ilk.

          Do people really not get that you can make something that "looks cool" all the while effectively telling a story? This makes me want to curl up into a ball.

          Form follows function. That’s the rule for every category of design. It’s funny that the most visual media has forgotten that

          I work in VFX. Can confirm this over and over. Incredibly frustrating sometimes.

          This perfectly contrasts the first Jurassic Park film against everything else in the franchise. The raptors in the kitchen are the pinnacle, but so much of the movie was building tension and subverting expectations. 👌
