Episode 535 - Rob Nederhorst and Ben Hansford: The end of "good enough" in filmmaking

Why does a classic like Blade Runner feel more massive with only 56 visual effects shots than a modern blockbuster with thousands? We are sitting down with VFX veteran Rob Nederhorst (John Wick 3, The Conjuring) and director Ben Hansford (USC Film School, Allstate) to discuss the transition from technical AI camera tests to authentic filmmaking. The "good enough" culture of streaming algorithms is hitting a wall, and a new rebellion of creators is reclaiming the movie theater as the primal source of the cinematic experience. In this deep dive into modern cinematography and VFX workflows, we explore why the "New Hollywood" era is seeing vampire movies and experimental art films dominate the Oscar nominations. We break down the visceral, seat-flinching craft behind John Wick 3 and discuss how generative AI is fundamentally changing production budgets. From the discipline of the "Four Fs" to the utility of VidViz (championed by Monstrous Moonshine), this conversation is about reclaiming the soul of the craft in an era of AI slop. Discover why the discipline of finishing is the only thing that separates a true artist from a technician in the age of digital storytelling.
