A voluminous shoot last month. #postchat #vfx

Honoured to be part of this spot as On Set VFX Supervisor. #postchat www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj1c...

Making the rounds put it’s so damn good youtu.be/98HWjHMgPg4?...

That time of year. #stillsummer #postchat

This phone screen tracker app works really well in iPhone and android. Very well thought out. And it’s free. apps.apple.com/ca/app/the-v... #postchat #vfx

Banging out some HDRIs in Munich. Great crews here. #postchat #VFX

Still summer.

Matching exterior lighting for green screen element. #postchat #vfx

Every commercial shoot this summer at some point the client says “can’t we just AI that” which is code for super easy and free right? #postchat #vfx

It’s been more than a month since my account was compromised. Thanks @support.bsky.team for helping me get back. Didn’t realize how much I like this platform until it was gone.

What defines a “Cinema Camera” ? For me it has to have a raw codec for on board internal recording. Not just a way to do it externally. I’m talking to you Sony FX30. Trying to get clean keys etc. with an .mp4 or .mov just doesn’t cut it. #postchat #postsky #vfx

Loving the new keyframe tab in Resolve 20 b4. Finally another NLE to rival the speed blade ease of FCPX. #postchat

“It will be so cool, we’ll shoot anamorphic 2.39!” …… “Why does the 9x16 not have everything ?” #postchat

Lots of old lenses lately on a bunch of shoots. I know it’s trendy and they do have certain qualities but the Arri Master Primes are butter IMHO. I had forgotten how damn good they look. #postchat #postsky #vfx

Spring cleaning. Ditched over 7800 unread emails dating back to 2009. Feeling like I’ve done something wrong but at the same time realizing it was all junk or water under the bridge and just not important.

The #Severance S2 Dolby Vision look on my LG C3 Apple TV is incredible. Clean as a whistle. No added grain or old lens artifacts. I love that. Not a fan of forced filters, noise etc. trying to emulate nostalgic film looks. It really plays well with the creative. Great #vfx too! #postchat

Exactly. youtu.be/1LzhCLzfJFg?...

Had a lovely cup of Canadiano coffee this morning.

Great t shirt and an awesome crew here in Santiago.

Pre pro lunch in Santiago Chile. All set for the shoot tomorrow. #VFX

On route to Santiago Chile for a commercial VFX shoot. Long way from Toronto. At least I’ll get paid. Unlike my freelance Supe job last week for the Mill NY. All email communications have gone dark. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #postchat #vfx

Not sure this stage is big enough. #postchat #vfx

Canada vs USA #4nationscup hockey tonight. Huge hype here in Canada. #letsgocanada USA is going down.

Can I just start #whitelotus in season 3 or do I need to watch the first 2 seasons.

I figure Julia Child knows a thing or 2 about Super Bowl chili. Will report back later.

Inclination is king when matching plates at different locations. Focal length, height etc. start with a locked inclination, don’t tilt to find the shot. Crab left or right or up and down a bit. Triangulate to desk edge will set where the centre of lens and the sensor plane should be. #postsky #vfx

On route to Chicago for leg one of a #vfx shoot. It’s been about 13 years since I’ve been here.

Re-watched the last 2 season 1 episodes of #severance in preparation for the launch of season 2 today. The picture and sound editing in this series is outstanding. #postchat

Loved the Steadicam rig fixed with the custom sniper rifle instead of a camera in The Day of the Jackal.

Best crew quote of the shoot overheard while in line for the craft truck, “Well at least we just got the worst shoot of the year over with early”

Back at it for 2025. Tethered Sony Venice 2 on a POV head cam. #postsky #vfx

I’ve noticed so many shots in tv commercials that stutter and jump. Clearly they are speeding up the shot but not using some kind of optical flow. Probably just blended or nearest frame. It’s everywhere. Is this just laziness or do the online editors just not care.🤷🏼‍♂️ #postchat #postsky

Checkerboarding Leafs vs Red Wings and Team Canada vs Latvia World Junior hockey. Classic holiday chilling. #lifeisgood

Saw Nasferatu today on an IMAX screen. Looked and sounded great. Couple of dicey comps but generally really enjoyed it. The 1.66:1 aspect ratio gave it an old feel. They were not afraid of the dark. That’s what I love about laser IMAX. The blacks are black not mushy grey. #postchat #vfx

Final set up of 2024. Grateful for a great year working with some of the best crews. #postchat #vfx Here’s to 2025

Upcoming commercial shoot this week had a 230 page prepro book. A 60 and a 30. My previous record was 175. #postchat

My New Year’s resolution is 6560×3102 #postchat

The annual. #postchat

Great story. Excellent cinematography. www.netflix.com/us/title/816...

The annual last minute job before the holidays has landed. Booked 4 days next week. Better finish gift shopping this weekend. #postchat #vfx

I notice several long out of focus CU shots in Gladiator 2. I get that performance is important but man it was bad. Took me right out of the scene. Otherwise outstanding VFX, SFX and production design. #postchat

Outstanding. Cover to cover. Loop mode. music.apple.com/ca/album/son...

This looks like fun. revuecinema.ca/films/drunke...

Watching the Leafs vs Hawks hockey live stream on #prime The compression is incredibly bad. Avid AVR 2 back in 1992 looked better. Blocks the size of Mack trucks. Come on it’s almost 2025. Do better Prime. #postchat

Also shared it last night 😊 bsky.app/profile/jclx...

As a Canadian, I really don’t understand this US turkey pardoning thing. Can someone explain it to me?

Say Nothing is really great. Excellent craftsmanship on all levels. www.imdb.com/title/tt3112...

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

On a shoot a couple of weeks ago. Jib arm snapped and an Alexa 35 fell into a creek. The DIT grabbed the card when they pulled it out. Got lucky. The media was still good. Change your card after each set up. Don’t record the whole morning on one card please. Swap card after every set up #postchat
