Like ILM, they probably will use the cheapest method possible to get
the shot. If it's cheaper to use a model, they'll use a model. Same goes
for matte paintings - it may be faster and cheaper for a matte artist to
paint a background where there is little camera movement, as opposed to
modeling a CG terrain or cityscape. For television especially, they
operate under a fixed budget and time restraint. Go over-budget and a
series proposal for the future may not get a green light from the
studio.
Thanks for sharing the exchange with us, Jon.
