I linked to this in a previous post along with my hot take about general things (https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/112132220413742000)

But really, if you're into films, into VFX/SFX/behind-the-scenes stuff, and find the state of VFX in the film industry interesting (I'm constantly amazed at the size of the VFX credits in films) ...

... then this is really worth a watch.

I found part 3 particularly enjoyable as it looks at the history of using matte paintings for what CGI is often used now ... and also looks at oppenheimer to, in the end, illustrate that the term "CGI" and the CGI v practical divide are not really useful.
