Yea … unlike a normal youtube channel … this seems to be a professional in the industry with a particular issue or statement they want to make and are basically making an indie documentary about it … cool to see TBH.

I can’t believe Barbie edited all blue screens out of 45 minutes of behind the scenes!
I just finished all 3 parts, it really was like a documentary. Looking forward to part 4 when it drops!

Yep. That was the part the convinced me that something sinister is going on here. Cuz that was work. The BTS film had a VFX budget to hide the extent of the actual film’s VFX budget. For some parts, allowing the audience to just focus on the conversations between actors etc, that would make sense. But throughout the whole/majority-of thing?!!
As I said in my linked prior post … I think the whole “No CGI” or “practical effects hype” needs to look itself in the mirror as likely both uninformed and damaging to the people of a whole industry that makes our films look good in ways that we all deep down really appreciate. Yes CGI has looked crappy in the past. But so have many effects that were cutting edge for the time. Films are to be enjoyed as artistic and escapist phenomena, not to test our amateur VFX knowledge.
