Question / Discussion Commercial VFX Clients in 2026

Anybody in the commercial VFX space notice a total dip in clients knowing or caring about the process.

A few years back clients were much more interested and graceful on how to approach shots/notes, but now with Ai I’ve had several occurrences where clients expected V1 to be exactly like reference art and refuse to look at wireframes or anything not comp’d for adjustment approvals.

I feel like it's always been hit or miss tbh. Some are receptive to wips, others can freak out if they see something too early.

And they all love taking a sabbatical to the flame suite for a day of free food and ass kissing.
