What's your favorite match cut in a movie? Or if no match cut comes to mind, a favorite other transition example?

Amazing! Thanks for the answer/inspiration.

Process thread for the cover to my art book Carbon Based coming August 11 to kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/oni... Final vs layout 1/

Insanely good- is this a Houdini/Blender combo for the fur and rendering?

Cave lion turnaround

Very lovely perspective, and love that eyeball too!

Holy shit

Really fantastic composition!

Still looking for opportunities!

A comparison of the behind the scenes photo of the rear of the B-wing cockpit and a screenshot from a deleted shot of a Sullustan B-wing pilot, showing that the greebles on the rear of the cockpit are a match.

(Also just in case anyone hasn't seen it, at least that rear of the cockpit was finished and filmed, but the pilot insert shots didn't make the final cut.

Behind the scenes RotJ photo of the rear of a B-wing cockpit interior set, with a toolbox and a wooden chair in it.

I also have an ever-so-slightly less-cropped different scan of this photo (though it has the exact same scratches on it, so it is literally the same photo!), don't remember the source. At whatever time I found it, it was also paired with a WIP photo of the rear of the cockpit as well.

That sifaka's pose is just perfect!

‘Launch’ - I have been chipping away at this shot for a few days for fun! Originally inspired by a recent Adam Savage video that included an aircraft carrier jet elevator. #b3d #blender #scifi #animation #vfx #spaceship #film

from modified ANH TIE pilot helmets. That is pure speculation on my part though. I assume here they intended for it to represent a droid. The face area does resemble the ANH blast shield helmet.
That's all I know, sorry! (3/3)

armor reuses a bunch of imperial armor parts. This person on RPF calls it 'ESB junk helmet', maybe that is a search term you can use to look for more info? www.therpf.com/forums/threa...
From the red stripe on top, maybe it was also made from an AT-AT driver prototype, since those were also (2/x)

A screencap from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, where Chewbacca is in a room full of droid junk. On the left in the shadows is a prop made with some TIE Pilot helmet parts.

Agree that the chest/abs look to be from a stormtrooper. The helmet is actually one of the 12 original ANH TIE pilot helmets, modified. You can also see this prop on the left of this shot. I once saw it speculated that this was maybe an unused bounty hunter design, similar to how Dengar's (1/x)

Translucent purple plastic is the ideal technology housing. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Thank you! Found the article - for context this is re: those tissue boxes with cartoon prehistoric animals on them. www.postcrescent.com/story/money/...

A large, poorly photocopied realistic illustration of two Brontosauruses with the Flatiron building, from the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Sunday, February 28, 1915. One is on the ground on its haunches, its forelimbs and head caving in a small portion of the side of the building, while the other has climbed to summit the top, leaving a trail of broken-in dents up the side. The top 1/4th or so of the building has broken off and is angling towards where the brontosaurus was trying to pull himself up over the edge, and both will soon be falling to the streets below. The Brontosauruses are drawn so that their lengths fully stretched out would be nearly the height of the building, and that building is about 200 feet taller than a brontosaurus is long, so they are significantly oversized.

Another old timey illustration of dinosaurs in modern times, this one from 1915 of two Brontosaurus attempting to scale and accidentally destroying the Flatiron building in New York. Because naturally giant prehistoric monsters would want to scale buildings, that's just what they do!

It is true

Right, it's so foreign coming from a culture that treats biodiversity/conservation as something inherently good to read someone say a bird's only value is if its feathers look good on hats. This is also sadly the time period where they were actively driving the passenger pigeon to extinction.

Excerpts of more of the article, including mentions of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins and Othniel Charles March, what Hadrosaurus fossils are like and why they were special, and also a list of non-dinosaur animals with a tiny blurb about them, such as Dinotherium, Macrauchenia, Mastodon, Hesperornis.

The rest of the article doesn't have as much imaginative stuff, it's basically just a list of cool extinct animals with blurbs of info on current discoveries from the scientists of the day. Just genuinely educational, not much to do with the headline at all. Clickbait!

An illustration of a group of dinosaurs and other extinct animals standing at a fence next to an 1890s town, where residents and animals flee in terror, titled, "If the extinct mammoth animals of the past came to life." The image is a newspaper scan from The Journal (New York), Sunday, March 29, 1896. The artist's signature is not legible by me. Some of the creatures are based on older artwork by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, rather than being totally scientifically up to date.

A scan of the article title: IF THE OLD MONSTERS SHOULD RETURN, What Would Happen If Dinosaurs and Dodos Came Back to Earth?

A scan of the opening two paragraphs of the article, reading: "It is a good thing, on the whole, that the extinct animals are extinct, because a dinosaur, a dodo, or a megatherium returning to earth at the present time would create more trouble than he would be worth. Nobody would know what to do with such a monster, and science tells us that he might be dangerous. Even the pterodactyl, which was in many respects the most delicate of these products of a remote age, would not have made a decent soup. The size of these beasts was such that they could afford only a poor kind of sport. They were so big that the worst marksman could not help but hit them, and after they were killed they could not be removed."

A further excerpt of the article: "The sportsman who shot a dinosaur would have no fine pair of antlers to take home with him for the edification of his friends, while the dodo was an ugly bird without any ornamental feathers that would have looked well in a woman's hat. This monster was an absurd creation, being able able neither to fly nor to swim, and was exterminated in the seventeenth century, much to the general relief. "The dodo displayed neither activity nor intelligence, and its name is a synonyme[sic] for stupidity to the present day. "Captain Van West-Zanen, of Batavia, has left it on some record how a dodo captured by some of his men could not be eaten by the whole crew, so great was its size. He also tells how the dodo made such a display of stupidity as to merit the contempt of his men. "A dodo walking along a country road at the present time would scae all the horses and block up the passage. Several men with clubs would be required to dispatch the creature, and the removal of its body would entail considerable labor."

Another 1896 #paleoart newspaper illustration of extinct animals, for an article on de-extinction, ahead of its time!
They're glad these animals are dead. The purpose of the article is really to describe a bunch of cool animals and just completely shit on the dodo, just incredibly critical. (pic 4)
