I came here just to say that Todd Vaziri is just so cool.

[@tvaziri]

arguable

[@ajmvfx9643]

Someone give Todd a show already!!@@tvaziri

[@HugosDesk]

he is the coolest!

[@badashx]

+1 Todd is cool.

Saw it in IMAX. Truly a masterpiece, I’m angered that it wasn’t an instant box office success but also not surprised because this level of detail and beauty could only possibly be appreciated by a minority audience who isn’t reliant on the spoonfed thematically bankrupt remake garbage movies that the likes of Disney and Marvel turn out a dozen times a year. Bravo to you guys and I hope you win your nomination!

[@LFPAnimations]

This is really inspiring stuff! Watching The Creator in theaters I could tell there was something special going on with the VFX. You guys were able to deliver high concept CG to shots that felt natural and spontaneous. I don't think this method will be applicable to most productions as it really take a filmmaker like Gareth who understands VFX to pull it off.

[@Charlie_Alpha_Lima]

The Art Direction in this movie was bloody spectacular!

[@EthanHarket]

The guys who worked on the CGI for this movie deserve an oscar, they absolutely crushed what modern CGI is capable of.

[@edba1.037]

having a nomination is already great, the godzilla movie deserved to win

[@hundredfireify]

I'm glad that I got to discover Todd via corridor digital. The guy is so talented and interesting. Keep up the good work

[@chris13ryant]

Love when Jay throws out technical specifics, thank you. Amazing talk.

[@MrKlayVFX]

Gareths style of filmmaking, way back to when I first saw Monsters, got me so excited about the filmmaking process. Great work everyone involved.

[@NyimaWongchuk]

I bet it was satisfying for animators and artists to work with a locked cut, knowing that their work would actually be used!

[@kaviraj_vfx]

Loved the whole conversation! what a team!

[@ILMVFX]

Thank you!! That means a lot.

[@hexabear8311]

Hey it's Todd Vaziri from the Corridor Couch

[@impaktstudio6998]

CONGRATS ON THE WELL DESERVED OSCAR NOMINATION!!!

[@DenisRyan]

Wonderful conversation! Amazing team.

[@EthanHarket]

This movie costed 80m USD and it looks like it costed 200m USD. The tech and direction and art and vfx and cgi the way was used was amazing!

[@leksraamat1722]

Interesting approach. Thanks for sharing!

[@impaktstudio6998]

IAs an indie ultra low-budget filmmaker coming from a self-taught vfx background “The Creator” was validation for me about the current state of tools available for filmmakers and how I shot my $5k sci-fi anthology film “Paradigm Grey” with minimal crew in a very guerilla style

[@Himball]

I’m definitely tagging along your journey and see how it goes because I am also getting ready to start my sci-fi short film… it’s been hard trying to find time for your passion and trying to survive but I’m setting the stage. The creator was a big motivation for me

[@lovelimvfx861]

Guys You Make very Good Visual, i loved it!

[@zcounts]

love and blessings!

[@SHKAAL887]

Great show to be a part of, congrats to the whole team

[@johntnguyen1976]

I want to be any of these people when i grow up...even tho i'm probably older than everyone here 😂

[@ILMVFX]

We’re all kids at heart 💫

[@jpiersma]

I really wish I could see a little BTS on the Robot Nuke rig they built.

[@RDJ134]

Still need to watch this movie, effects looks great. Still need the time to check it :)

[@sunnynaguri]

A great chat. Thank you!

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Quite a learning :)

[@aikon_m2322]

It would be great if you could turn on subtitles.

[@jvstinvsmorvdi]

Amazing. 🙂

[@arireisner]

How did you make this customized video conference skin?

[@leeaxon01]

Amazing news that GE is to direct the new Jurassic ! - or according to the early news reports. I hope this is true.

[@WITFITMAN.]

LOVE LOVE SCIFI 😎🥤🍿🍿🍿🍿💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@jimmerhardy]

These are the guys who in their own ways and at different times uttered, 'Well, thanks a lot.' The Creator is a real triumph on every level. What a team. Gareth has become one to watch.

[@jurgenmathiae6682]
