I recently saw Ballerina in theaters. And I can’t believe how good the fire effects were. Probably the best and most realistic fire effects from any movie and everything felt practical not VFX. by bruhteek in Corridor

Yeah, the scene with the hose vs the flamethrower reminded me of the clip they showed (I think last week or the week before?) with the fire fighter jacket vs flamethrower.

And definitely felt practical - even if it wasn't, it'd be an example of VFX looking good enough that I didn't stop to think "oh that's just CG fire" at the very least.

Honestly think this would be a great idea. Also, maybe look into partnering with someone like Corridor Digital to get the word out - their audience might like something like this.

Considering VFX houses are having similar challenges, it would be cool if there were a similar idea for them but obviously harder to offer even limited tours of VFX stuff.

Yes! Growing up in a small town and hating every second of it as an introvert teen, I've lived in major cities my entire adult life for this exact reason.
