Line 17:
== [[Film]] ==
* The limits of CGI regarding the [[Uncanny Valley|depiction of organic shapes and natural surfaces]] is the reason [[Pixar]]'s first feature film was about [[Toy Story (franchise)|toys]]. As the technology improved, they worked their way up to [[A Bug's Life|bugs]], then [[Monsters, Inc.|furry/scaly monsters]], then [[Finding Nemo|fish]], and finally, [[The Incredibles|human]] [[Up (animation)|beings]].
* Low budget horror movies with no-name stars lead to [[Anyone Can Die]]. ''[[Alien]]'' may be the best known example. A cast filled with great character actors, but none of them are a big enough star to guarantee their character's survival. {{spoiler|Almost everyone dies. The sole survivor is perhaps the [[Sigourney Weaver|least known actress]].<ref>At the time, at least. It became [[Sigourney Weaver]]'s [[Star-Making Role]].</ref>}}
* This trope is touched on in the classic black and white movie, ''[[The Bad and The Beautiful]]''.
** A horror movie producer couldn't afford decent special effects for the monster. He teams up with the director to use camera tricks to make the monster into ''[[The Unseen]]''.
