Here is a nice tid bit for this thread to chew on, take it how you want.
In the movie John Wick with Keanu Reaves , there is a puppy. The puppy goes outside to do his business. The said 'business' is not an actual pile of doggy poo, it is in fact, a CGI effect.
...Yep, you read that right. They used CGI to lay down a dog turd. Now for the part that really sounds crazy, it is rumored that this 'turd' effect cost over $5000 US dollars to create and place in the movie.
This might be the thesis for argument that CGI is waaay over used in movies today.
