Reposted by Valen SgroA Nightmare on Nat Street 🇵🇷🏳⚧ @peanutbutterwhisky.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I'm only 26 minutes in and there are so many scenes in The Dark Knight I thought were practical that were entirely CGI. Like I didn't know the Hong Kong jump or shots of the Batpod moving used CG. It's all so seamless. 1546
Reposted by Valen SgroTodd Vaziri @tvaziri.com · 09/07/2026Hey BBC, if your writers don't know how movies are made or why certain movies are successful then maybe just don't publish stories about the topic. (No, I will not link to the dumb piece.) 2628445

Reposted by Valen SgroThe Movie Rabbit Hole @themovierabbithole.bsky.social · 18/06/2026This is disappointing. You would think a low budget production would be more honest and down to earth, giving credit to the people who made their movie, but no. Listen to "Primate" (2026) dissing their own CGI by Outpost VFX. Video by @vsgro.bsky.social www.tiktok.com/@v_sgro/vide...tiktok.comMay 2026 be the year this marketing strategy finally ends?

Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 24/10/2025I blame a lot of it on the marketing of movies like mission impossible always framing injuries as commitment. I do hope we shift away from it, it is absolutely wild the amount of horror stories we hear 010
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Absolutely agree this whole ‘the horror is real’ well it shouldn’t be cause this is a freaking gig 120
Reposted by Valen SgroThe Movie Rabbit Hole @themovierabbithole.bsky.social · 09/10/2025CGI set extensions are just modern matte paintings, human artists creating movie magic. Here's how they work, using Wicked as an example. 0377
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 03/10/2025Im gonna have to make a video explaining how a set being built doesn’t mean a smaller scope of VFX work 😫 I’ll also have to define scope in that probably… 020

Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 24/09/2025A year ago today, I was having TikTok fights about tulips that turned into me having TikTok fights over weird takes about VFX lol 020
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 10/09/2025“Not a green screen in sight” - filmbro on the internet probably 000
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Or no VFX at all, let us not forget the insane witch hunt that went on the Legend of Ochi because the puppet *checks notes* was too symmetrical and had shinny hair and eyes 010
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 04/09/2025I think online gurus who guess a movie’s methodology based on the placement of wires and blue screens are my supervillain origin story 010
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Imagine if every time a behind the scenes show had an orchestra the press would go and write “No artificial digital sound mix, this movie features an all practical score” 031
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 31/08/2025I think we ARE turning a corner, just gotta make sure these kinds of headlines keep getting pushback 010
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 31/08/2025We were so close to an honest summer 🤣 Honestly, one thing that caught my attention was the fact that Del toro corrected him despite the stuff he himself said a few days before - I ran to the comments on the Hollywood reporters TikTok and most believe it or not are not finding this charming 110
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 29/08/2025They’re having this same argument on comment sections with F1 hahaha It’s killing me, who is the source… And why aren’t they a skit on my channel yet. Someone needs to snitch 010
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 29/08/2025Where is this Cg masking thing coming from it’s the latest filmbro lingo and it’s driving me actually bonkers 130
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 29/08/2025When I tell you I have been WAITING for this. I’m gonna reschedule my entire posting slate 120
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 25/08/2025Yup and no amount of fiction will let you reach the level of detachment and blissful unawareness and innocence of childhood either 030
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 25/08/2025A lot of it is comparing movies to the sense of wonder you had when watching them as a child.. which is never going to come back, nothing will ever compare. But they’re seeking that sense of wonder and instead of letting it go and enjoying things differently, they’re looking at someone to blame 110
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 25/08/2025I made a video on this but I think titling your videos “Great, Good and Bad VFX” conditions your audience into thinking all VFX can only be one of those 3 things removing all nuance from the discussion and normalising the moving goal post behavior that anti cg bros have online 120
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 24/08/2025🥹🥹🥹 thanks guys 💙 I do try, someone out there has to explain in a short format why filmbros are making by stuff up haha 030
Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 24/08/2025Or how “they made them grey so that nobody can key them”? Cause clearly, only blue and green are usable for VFX you see 120

Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 08/08/2025I think it’s specifically the fact that it’s a face made out of faces that made people think that, which… sucks. Just like any time something looks crisp it ‘feels cg’ to internet experts 010

Valen Sgro @vsgro.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I genuinely think the pushback has started to leak to the general public. I’ve started to see ‘CGI is not a real term anyways’ comments on some promo videos… we just gotta keep going! 020
