"Just pick a different idea" Sam has a way with words. By far my favorite critique of a challenging VFX shot to date.

[@dsfs17987]

the only I'm interested in about that movie is how much money they wasted on that stupid... LMAO - budget hasn't been disclosed, but apparently world wide box office is 16k$, that K, not M, and it's been out for few months

Didn’t life of pi also film the ocean scenes on a huge water tank?? The green screened water is still seamless in that movie! “A tank doesn’t have the right waves” my ass

[@notyrpapa]

It’s a genuinely great film, and I had no idea the water was CGI when watching it until this moment. It’s Oscar-nominated for the acting, which is what the water helps to sell. That’s what CGI should do in this context - boost the acting performance. Tbh the marketing of it was terrible and I didn’t watch it for ages because it looked terrible until I actually sat down and gave it a try. Makes sense that the box office would be bad.

[@JohnFrankLyke]

HELL YEAH, hyped ya'll enjoyed my rollerblade shots. Love this channel.

[@erroneousbosh]

I was in the park a while back with my wee boy teaching him how to ride his bike, and there were some young guys maybe about 12 or 13 years old filming each other on their phones running around with Nerf guns - and one of them was chasing them about on a hoverboard, doing this big long sweeping shot from behind his friend. When I see stuff like that I think, "yeah, the kids are going to be just fine actually".

[@edwarddunne6338]

A VFX breakdown of Andor and comparing to the other Disney+ show's use of ILM's LED volume would be cool

[@hastyscorpion]

They used the volume in andor as well. They just didn’t use it exclusively. A ton of the stuff on Ferrix is in the volume.

[@Zansler]

source? if you see any clips of vfx in andor they show that ferrix is a practical set they built, with some green screens for set extensions.

[@neliskrelis6453]

That Nyad VFX is like some James Cameron-type flex but nobody didn't ever know until this video. Crazy VFX work!

[@johnmoros]

Hi I actually cut sound on Nyad. Cool to see things I worked on surprise me here! Yeah vfx was nuts. On every iteration of the water vfx I had to cut in more mouth splashing sounds, because the water levels went higher up on her face each time. By the end I was in a pool with my daughter recording her breaths while I splashed at her. So I guess a small part of AB's Oscar nomination belongs to my daughter.

[@kywildcat370]

I used Better Help a few years ago. I did not see them as a scam. I paid them $40/month, but had access to a great psychologist. The flexibility was a plus.... And a negative. I liked chatting with her during our appointment, but the fact that I had no face-to-face communication got old pretty fast. Otherwise, I did not see a problem with them. But then, that was my only exposure to them.

[@gipadonimus]

It seems from the vast variety of differing stories about the quality of their service, that they are unregulated if anything. Some people seem to thrive using it while others get stuck with bad therapist. I'd say it's more a quality control issue than a full on scam, although I totally understand that when things are unreliable like that it can be argued still as a scam because it has that 50/50 chance of you not getting what you've payed for..

Even the very first CGI spaceships in Last Starfighter (which was directed by the guy that played Michael Myers) All the weird “urban legends” of the SFX Industry.

[@BradyStanfield]

I was a PA on Divinity! They shot some inserts on an LED stage, like when he jumps up for the power punch downwards. The wooshes in the background was from the LED wall. All of it was shot on film, including the LED stage inserts. So glad this awesome film caught your attention!

[@CarletonTorpin]

6:07 - It looks like they’re blending animation frame-rates, similar to anime. It also looks like maybe some of the scenes had the motion-control camera progressing on Ones, versus characters being animated on Twos.

Have you guys checked out the visual effects in the old Telugu movie 'Mayabazar' (1957)? It's a classic Indian film that used some pioneering techniques for its time.
