Group-led VFX and in-house AI
Ramayana keeps a large share of its VFX inside the Prime Focus Group, with DNEG and ReDefine side by side. Netflix is also discussing AI at its own Eyeline studio. This suggests large owners may keep more work and tooling in-house, which could narrow openings for independent studios. Worth watching for subcontract or overflow work.
