    Yeah I think it’s some of that. I feel like there is often an inverse relationship between budget and how interesting/emotionally resonant a show/movie is. More time for action is less time for human moments.

      I imagine if you have a script deadline it’s probably much faster and easier to write the latter one of those scenes than the former too lol.

        I don’t know how they do it for Doctor Who, but I remember reading that for Marvel movies they often do work on the CGI scenes before they’ve even finished the script or hired some of the key talent. It can’t be easy to try to stitch together a narratively coherent and emotionally resonant movie when before you begin you’ve been told which action scenes you need to work into your script.

          That’s definitely the case when they use a “volume” AR wall, which I know they used during Season 1. Since the CGI environment is projected live behind the actors, it all has to be prepped in advance of filming.

          From what I’ve seen of “Unleashed,” though, they’ve also been using a lot of old-fashioned green screen.
