This character rigging is magnificent

In my latest review, I look at "Aeon Flux", Peter Chung's genius irreverent animation series and the more recent sombre movie by Karyn Kusama, an action thriller about cheating nature ... #moviereview #AeonFlux #sciencefiction

I'm making my own Godzilla film in Unreal 5 :D Here's 2 more shots from over the weekend, using Nuke + Unreal together. We're nearly finished! If you want to learn how I'm hosting a free masterclass this Thursday. Join here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ecKPPtVr This week I learned the ins and outs of constraints and figured out a better method for creating Lighting Passes where you SEE your result before you press render! It's by making new Subsequences that hide objects and levels. I'll make a video about this soon enough because I finally found a few shortcuts to make this a lot faster and with fewer headaches. #vfx #vfxbreakdown #unrealengine #unrealengine5 #ue5 #ue4 #filmmaking #virtualproduction #animation #cinematics #motioncapture #innovation #creativity #marketing

🤓 Did you know you can use Shift to automate the creation of Slap Comps in Nuke? The fully procedural workflow can then be chained together with other aspects of your creative pipeline to automate slap comps everytime a new version of an animation, shader or models is published. 🌟🪄 #nuke #slapComp #compartist #workflow #pipeline #procedural #film #vfx

This is how much things need to be "real" in metaverse and VR? And this is also a prime example why Finland can do as much as Hollywood studios - and sometimes even better. #Fireframe #Hollywood #Finland #VR #Metaverse

Hi you all. The moment animation changes from a simple reproduction of movement to the representation of emotions, here it becomes an art. This is why I consider "acting" as the second pillar on which the foundations of our talent and our profession rest.

Real movie magic happening at Fireframe Studios. In this production we are breaking boundaries by combining CG animation, stop-motion, and physical miniature sets with LED volume set extensions. #virtualproduction #animation #stopmotion #ledvolume #fireframestudios #filmmaking

Not gonna lie, I'm excited for this, with caveats. Firstly, I just appreciate what seems like a straight remake of the original and maybe also ideas from Alien: Isolation, purely to enjoy a current visual fidelity take. But. Is this really the best Hollywood, with all of its resources and alleged 'creativity' and 'originally' that is so 'far superior to AI tools' can do? We're at an inflection point between Hollywood and generative filmmaking. The math to support making a movie like this is so bad it forces studios to not take any risks and seem creatively bankrupt. My MA7RIX reboot trailer (https://lnkd.in/gi2qddYX) deliberately repeats some things from the original precisely because the Matrix Version 7 is repeating time to keep their prisoners trapped. It's the perfect IP for the 'same but different' formula of a sequel soft-reboot (and the full story doesn't stop there, would surprise by veering into a very different outcome). But what's Alien Romulus's excuse? There is no time loop, right? There doesn't seem to be even a more expansive, imaginative take on the original or Isolation, that latter of which came out a decade ago and stood on its own two feet. Alien (1979) was *45 years ago*. Movies like this that 'refresh' the *exact* same thing seem more like mere due diligence at this point. Whenever I might do an Alien fan project with AI (which I've casually sketched out before), I promise you it will do new things, take it into new places. It won't be long before generative filmmakers are releasing more interesting content all the time on places like YouTube that Hollywood literally won't be able to afford to conceptually compete with. That said, if that actually is Amanda Ripley and not yet-again another "totally not Ripley" Ripley rip-off character, this could be compelling for the same reason as Isolation— our emotional connection to the idea of Amanda trying to find her lost mother, whom we all love. As a fan of the franchise, I do hope the film is a great ride.
