See this?
Yes… it is a big blob of green… or more specifically the green used for the “Green screen” for visual special effects.
But let me go back a bit…
One of the things that bugged me was the botched up (and semi-funny) presentation for the Visual Effects award done by The Avengers clan. At the moment I am sure a lot of us were just rolling our eyes, but when I started listening and relistening I realized something…
It felt like they were goofing and stalling… why?
The San Francisco Gate said it best:
Biggest Oscars snub: A shark attack on the VFX industry
What happened? Well according to the SFGate.
Well they turned on the light to the one thing that was bugging me during Bill Westenhofer’s thank you speech… specifically right when he was cut off:
Sadly, Rhythm & Hues is suffering serious financial difficulties now…. I urge you all to remember…
Not only that, but the producers of the Academy Awards cut him off using JAWS musical.
Sadly, I will admit it was rather funny in the moment… which was probably what the producers were going for… but in hindsight reveals something far more sinister.
