RocketJump Video Essay

This is a video essay from the YouTube channel RocketJump which I felt was pretty relevant to my research. RocketJump started out as a YouTube channel making silly skits and shorts involving many visual effects, however in the last few years they have started to branch out into much more long form storytelling with shows of theirs getting onto Netflix and HuluPlus.
Some key quotes mentioned within are:

‘Great visual effects serve story and character, and in doing so are, by their very definition, invisible’

‘Even classics, with practical effects that might look dated to our modern sensibilities, we don’t really seem to mind those and audiences certainly didn’t at the time. Maybe it’s because we don’t have much to complain about when it comes to great movies, the craft and storytelling so enchants us that we’re not in the back of our heads looking for an easy scapegoat’
