Great film! Thoroughly enjoyed it. But...

https://t.co/EmO0HdtyVcThe Engadget article is called, "'Black Panther' is amazing. Why are its CG models so terrible?"
Although the VFX industry is being pushed to its limits I thought the effects in Black Panther are excellent and actually the models are really fine. I was so incensed by this journalist's ignorance and to a certain extent the quoted artists' anonymous nature that I contacted the journalist via Twitter. He clearly doesn't understand that an animated character with poor weight/animation or a dodgy shot composition is nothing to do with the quality of the underlying model. It may be a semantics thing, but in writing an article like this I'd make sure to at least have a cursory understanding as to the workflow of a VFX shot.
Terrible my f****ing arse. Additionally, if you're going to make changes to the VFX industry, don't remain anonymous. My name is Alex Jevon and believe VFX to be on a steeply inclined downward slope that most studios are doing nothing to avoid. Just say no. No we won't make 27 changes to that shot that's been finalled 3 times. No we won't be delivering 4K when you're paying HD rates. No you can't come in daily and badger our staff with fresh ideas. No we won't won't work on edits that aren't nearly locked. Contrary to popular belief, no we don't like 12 hour days.
*cough*
Great film though.
