Reminder that these remakes are happening solely because labeling a thing as "live action" that's like 90% cg animation avoids having to pay union animators, and instead can use cheap un-unionized VFX animators

The irony is VFX studios unionizing might actually save marvel movies - if they can't grind all the studios into paste and then hire fresh meat, CG might actually go back to being good again

Absolutely insane learning this table scene in WAKE UP DEAD MAN was done on Bluescreen. Phenomenal CG/VFX work.
The "we can always tell" crowd sure are quiet about stuff like this.

This reminds mr of an anecdote my brother told me ages ago when he was doing vfx for commercial work. I asked if that commercial where they launched a car with a catapult was cg, but he said it would be cheaper just to catapult a real car. Those were different days…

The WOT S3 Sneak Peek seems to have gone down well?!
Our VFX dept were involved from the very first shot with this striking full CG establisher of Tar Valon, setting the darker tone for S3. Much appreciation to the artistic talents at #OutpostVFX for creating it.

Some of you may remember this toy. LOL. More oldschool stuff from Blur. I was the CG supervisor on this commercial and also composited, lit and modeled the environments in the CG scenes.

I've lived in Brisbane my entire life, I work in CG animation/VFX, and I think Bluey is one of the greatest TV shows ever made.

Yeah, maybe please considerate to CG/VFX artists instead of saying it was made by artificial intelligence?
Like dude, you're just embarrassing yourself and disrespecting the hard work VFX artists work the more you say it looks like AI without addressing it's just mediocre/OK CGI.

As someone who’s planning to see live action Moana on Disney+ instead of theaters, really?
It’s just bad CGI.
At least bad CGI is better than AI.

as someone in vfx, mograph, and cg they've come SO close to achieving this in those industries already, but this is the holy grail for sure
The entire goal of the "AI" industry is to achieve Jack Welch's wet dream — to render all employees fungible. The managerial class *despise* the fact that there are skilled creative workers that cannot be interchanged like widgets. "AI" promises them that they'll never need pay them again.

fantastic, I love these retrospectives and especially muren, young sherlock is every bit as key as willow, T2 or JP in the important history of CG VFX
It's finally up! I think I was the perfect age for Young Sherlock Holmes when it came out & it was truly a joy to chat with ILM legend Dennis Muren about the film 40 years later & the unique place it holds in the history of visual effects.

No offense to amazing vfx artists out there but Im already zoning out during emotionless big CG action set pieces. Either the story isn’t there so its boring, or there is no thrill in the risk like with dangerous stunts, finally vfx dont have time & money to make the spectacle worthwhile on its own
