The term references the absence of a dedicated individual overseeing aspects of production, particularly concerning visual effects (VFX), on projects streamed through the prominent entertainment platform. Instead of a specific person acting as a liaison between the production team and VFX vendors, those responsibilities might be distributed among existing personnel or handled directly by the production team.
This operational model aims to streamline processes and potentially reduce overhead costs. It may foster closer collaboration between creative and technical teams, empowering filmmakers to have more direct control over the visual elements of their projects. However, the success of such a framework hinges on the expertise and capacity of the production team to effectively manage the complex requirements of VFX, ensuring seamless integration and high-quality final results. The historical context reveals this as a shift towards leaner production methodologies.
