Been spending time at a bachelorette weekend for my sister-in-law to be and of course today is the one day I didn't check the blue apps until I was in bed...

Images from a YouTube video about the making of Superman with giant bluescreens turned gray for the making-of feature the

Folks reasonably assume footage from behind-the-scenes featurettes are "truth", but it is now standard practice for studios to alter footage from "making-of" videos.

(These gray screens are actually blue screens on the set of "Superman" (2025).)

Been slowly making my way through Houdini and made my first sim!

I had an 'Oops! All 6s' in my deck and it still gave me a "Nope!" like 4 times in a row. I wanted to throw my phone at a brick wall

you gotta live through the whole thing

My advice for anyone who wants to get into VFX is that you should prepare to fully understand that 99% of people who talk about VFX on the internet have zero clue what they're talking about and there's nothing you can do to educate them :)

Sadly, @arielvaale.bsky.social is totally correct here.

I love Bluesky but I'm missing the petty drama. If you rotate your phone clockwise to watch YouTube videos and not counterclockwise you're a maniac

That was my thought process reading it. Was basically "oh lol joke. Wait a minute. The ambulance news. This was tweeted 30 seconds ago. Is this how I find out???"

Every time someone repeats the totally incorrect myth that "CGI" is cheaper than practical effects—it's not and that's a ridiculous statement—'because "CGI" isn't unionized,' they're unwittingly giving ammunition to studios who are arguing that unionization would be bad for the industry (it's not).

Yessssss!!!!

Refresh it. There's still a few left

Got 2! Thanks for a good white elephant gift this year
