Something I noticed on a flight a fews days ago:
Instead of the routine safety ballet by the cabin staff, we were shown a short movie with the same content on overhead LC screens.
Instead of filming actors going through the motions of looking at instructions, using emergency oxygen, etc., the movie was computer-generated (pretty crudely so.)
Now, the whole thing could have been filmed a relytively low cost (I imagine) with competent no-name actors in an actual plane. No special effects involved (well they’d have needed to trigger and then restow the oxygen masks).
So, is cheap computer-generated movie making less expensive than cheap live-action movie making nowadays, or are there other factors in play?
