The Value of Visual Effects

Scott Squires:

Almost all films coming out of Hollywood use visual effects to some extent and even many independent films have visual effects. Keep in mind that visual effects is not just for science fiction and fantasy films. They can be used extensively in period films and even in present day comedies. FIVE YEAR ENGAGEMENT used visual effects. WAR HORSE used visual effects extensively including some of the field shots, leaping horse, etc. FOREST GUMP showed an actor missing a leg.

I have been saying this for years. I challenge Hollywood to make a movie without us. Prove me wrong. Hollywood doesn't do it because it can't.
