CGI is art, and talented CG artists can come up with amazing things when they have a clear goal & vision. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgY4...

CGI set extensions are just modern matte paintings, human artists creating movie magic. Here's how they work, using Wicked as an example.

Im gonna have to make a video explaining how a set being built doesn’t mean a smaller scope of VFX work 😫 I’ll also have to define scope in that probably…

A year ago today, I was having TikTok fights about tulips that turned into me having TikTok fights over weird takes about VFX lol

I think online gurus who guess a movie’s methodology based on the placement of wires and blue screens are my supervillain origin story

Imagine if every time a behind the scenes show had an orchestra the press would go and write “No artificial digital sound mix, this movie features an all practical score”

Hi yes so I would like to put my dog forward for any baby Krypto scenes that might come in the future

Its been 5 years since Naga came into my life, to many more years with you best friend 💙

It’s almost that time of the year 🤣 With marketing campaigns for the summer kickstarting, the “No CGI / All Practical / Done for real” are bound to make an appearance… turning my peaceful social chats into a discussion forum

I’m starting to see ‘behind the scenes’ and inside the episode featurettes showing VFX but also using some of the words that I use in my videos like ‘highlighting collaboration’ etc etc… I just want to say I’m thrilled and I do consulting 🤣

What do you mean?!

Filmfluencers who were arguing with me over the train and the tulips! Where u at? Suddenly you all got really quiet. Let the record show, I always knew I was correct. For educational content on how film is made, follow professionals! m.youtube.com/watch?v=p2bg...

It’s hard work… and yes they’re THAT predictable. That’s how you know they don’t actually know anything 😂

look at all this "minimal CGI" 😐 i'm sure all those influencers will now correct their videos and posts youtu.be/TkJGWFuWlOw?...

So if we could get some breakdowns for The Substance, Wicked and Nosferatu that’d be great. I have bets with colleagues I want to settle

Update: the article is down! 👏👏👏 Good job folks! Making progress here!

Seeing how many nominations Emilia Perez got. I will now produce a movie following the French Revolution called Amelie Martin. I plan on casting an all Canadian cast with an A2 of French from Quebec. I don’t speak French myself but I will be using google translate for the lyrics. See you at Cannes!

Trying to get used to moving my activity more over here as I'm fading out all things Meta. Really most of my photos are dogs and painting minis. But really just dogs. #dogsofbluesky #dogs

Hi yes I’d like some new breakdowns, k thanks!

number of visual effects breakdowns from “The Substance” made publicly available: zero

look at all this "no CGI" youtu.be/Vsz1GOXJE8s?...

Look at the kindness and grace coming from director Paul Feig calmly explaining the filmmaking process to a bozo who cynically spread disinformation about Paul’s movie, then the bozo doubled down on his false claims after Paul personally corrected him. I wish I had this kind of patience.

Hollywood? You’re overdue with a bunch of VFX breakdowns in that Oscar shortlist. I want a creature breakdown for wicked dammit… and please throw a couple of env shots with tulips in there too?

"I can always tell when something is CGI" No, you can't. You can tell when you can tell. When you can't tell, you thought it was practical. #film #films #movies #nocgi #cgi #vfx #visualeffects #practicaleffects #practicalfilmmaking

Art and music departments on Wicked are huge! Almost as big as the VFX department that did the 2200 VFX shots. #vfx #wicked #wickedmovie #cgi #visualeffects #film #movies #filmmaking

Accompanied by “no cgi”, “you know when it’s fake”, “does it look fake?”, “look at how ugly this cats costume is! I think about this a lot though. As it is not lost on me that the “no cgi” headlines began right after this protests went viral
