Yep. That was the part the convinced me that something sinister is going on here. Cuz that was work. The BTS film had a VFX budget to hide the extent of the actual film's VFX budget. For some parts, allowing the audience to just focus on the conversations between actors etc, that would make sense. But throughout the whole/majority-of thing?!!
As I said in my linked prior post ... I think the whole "No CGI" or "practical effects hype" needs to look itself in the mirror as likely both uninformed and damaging to the people of a whole industry that makes our films look good in ways that we all deep down really appreciate. Yes CGI has looked crappy in the past. But so have many effects that were cutting edge for the time. Films are to be enjoyed as artistic and escapist phenomena, not to test our amateur VFX knowledge.
