The raccoon has legs ! I am so happy you’re still watching the movie in theaters. This is definitely where it shines the best and how’s it’s meant to be seen. We put so much detail in everything, with visuals and sounds and music. Thank you 🙏

God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis
Hey

I don’t want to work on a movie written by an algorithm… I never will, and most importantly, I never HAVE ! Patricia Arquette could not be more wrong, all the films I worked on at

movie. I know he hates it himself but there is a level of romanticism, abstraction, poetry and lyricism that I don’t quite find in the new iteration. It’s a very unique movie, a beautiful one in its own weird and flawed way. What do you think?
@JamesGunn
I insisted to get the interior of the cocoon built with real wood and branches and leaves knowing we would replace a lot of it but the lighting was better than if we had been in a blue ball ... and it was much better for the actors.
My take on High Frame Rate in

Definitely one of Nolan’s lesser known film but an incredible gem. When I pitched vfx sup’ing to Chris I told him I really was keen to do the film because magicians were the visual effects artists of the time and it was going back to the source for me.He smiled. I got the job :)
THE PRESTIGE was released 17 years ago. Regarded as one of Christopher Nolan’s most underrated films, the move features and all-star cast and its making of story is full of misdirection and magic…

Everything that’s wrong with our politicians right here. The dumb ones are proud of getting rid of the ones who actually do their job. It’s sad, disheartening and disgusting. 🤮

James understands more than anybody else that VFX need time to be perfect 👍 our vfx vendors and artists worked really hard to get the best possible experience at Comicon but we all understand it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Patience is a virtue :)

When we have time and the right amount of direction things improve exponentially. Also balancing practical and vfx is a good way to go. Also sometimes things just don’t work as you expected and you have to learn to pivot quickly. But when you have 2000+ or sometimes 3000+ vfx in

Franchement vu de loin ( je suis aux USA mais aussi j’ai habité à Londres ) je peux vous dire que Macron s’est bien débrouille par rapport aux dirigeants UK et US. C’est le jour et la nuit. Les français ont de la chance dans ce malheur mais ne s’en rendent pas compte.

Yes that’s the yellow and teal vibe from 10 years ago. I think most filmmakers have grown a little tired of it. They want more natural looking skin tones and less heavy split tones nowadays. Makes it look less poppy for sure.
When director, actors and digital artists work hand in hand and build from each other, beauty is made. Listen to Bradley talking about his process on Guardians Vol.3 and how he was inspired by what Sean Gunn and the animators had worked on and how he added even more personal

For those interested in the
#vfx
world. Yes. We have a problem. Yes, there is much more demand than the very talented vfx studios and artists can provide. And yes, sometimes as content creators and filmmakers we are unreasonable and insatiable. We need to talk.
Luma's start and end keyframes are a game changer. With a sequence of keyframes from the original film, we can seamlessly remaster stop motion classics like "Jason and the Argonauts" as modern single-take action scenes.
@imPatrickT
As much as I love Chris’ movies and find them always so fascinating I found this one to be masterful at so many things yet totally devoid of an
ounce of character connection. It felt very glossy and very empty on that level. I had a hard time with this one. And again, masterful
If you do 33 movies in 15 years and people tell you you’re not allowed to fail, then you’re just not allowed to discover new ideas. This is all empirical. I believe in experimenting, even if sometimes, it fails. Best lessons are taught from failure, not from success

Tyler Perry says he has halted the $800M expansion of his studio after seeing OpenAI’s text-to-video model Sora.
He adds that he just used AI in 2 of his films and that with Sora “I no longer would have to travel to locations. If I wanted to be in the snow in Colorado, it’s
When I see this it reaffirms my conviction that we need human writers, human actors and human visual artists to make all of this make sense, because this ain’t it 😂

It's wild to see a radically new approach to filmmaking emerge in the AI creation space.

Thanks for reaching out. It was so poorly worded man. We’re very twitchy right now about so much bashing happening with hate for CGI and articles that negate the work so many VFX artists do with passion and love. We should have a talk :)

Just watched it. Clearly they didn’t portray the experience I had with you on the GOTG. Every single frame of the show was thumbnailed by you. I actually have a keynote presentation showing how we went from the page to the boards to the final film … it’s all your stuff.
