>The tools people use in the movie industry are commodities with relatively slow innovation. People can get by on more or less the same skill set they had 15 years ago, and once the movie has been shot, virtually nobody has gained any new knowledge. I don't think that's true at all, particularly with the amount of CGI they're putting into modern films. CGI changes pretty quickly, too - an effect that was good enough last year looks dated if you put it in this year's release.
