Why do special effects in movies cost so much money to produce?

1.33K views

I see posts all the time talking about the million dollar special effects and such, but isn’t it just a team of people using software? Why and how do (decent) special effects have such a high price?

They have to pay the artists creating those effects, and there are usually dozens or more working on a scene at any given time. Those talented people are in such high demand that, yeah, that price per hour gets cranked up. And trust that those effects take a very long time to produce. It’s very difficult, taxxing, and time consuming work.
