It probably costed some 100k just to pay the guy that designed the look and feel of the interface and obviously they had medical advices on the matter (common knowledge really).

The patient is going through merging with a symbionte, most patients (test subjects) died.

Of course they are happy to read anomalous but stable vitals.

I honestly don't think that they paid that much. Most of it is probably just some stock animation that they bought and use, rather than anything specific.

100 million budget. It's almost a million a minute and you think they slap stock animations for close up plot points and run the risk of having 5% of the audience going "those number are silly wtf am I watching"?

3D effects will get a much bigger fraction of the CGI budget than some random animated chart

[–] dwindling7373@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

No shit. The fraction is not: "google image, upscale, good enough but the alien finger that point at the same screen will get 6 hours to render using 50% of the elecricity of texas".
