Are breakdowns given to vfx academy members?

tvaziri.com•5 days ago

yes

mannikrae.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s called invisible VFX

mattj0nes.bsky.social•5 days ago

There was no live event at the Academy Museum this year for the vfx category. Enjoyed seeing the Godzilla team last year + Neil Corbauld w his three noms.

tvaziri.com•5 days ago

yes - the bakeoff was cancelled due to the fires

mattj0nes.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh, I mean the event that’s open to the public

Sure, let me pull up what we know about the VFX: UDIMMs.

Alright, that covers it.

The most public release of VFX imagery was brief snippets in a short Academy-hosted “Meet the Nominees” that had quick glimpses into each film’s visual effects work:

Looks like DNEG put out a 73 second sizzle reel for "Dune: Part Two" with some quick breakdowns yesterday(!).

Thanks, @willdearborn.bsky.social !

Not a fan of the zooming text. Put it in the corner and let me see the images

tvaziri.com•4 days ago

It’s a sizzle reel touting its awards wins. Also every breakdown has no “zooming text” over it.

iestyn.de•4 days ago

Oh I know. It’s still bad.

tvaziri.com•4 days ago

you could just watch the movie

I know we’ve got the most spectacular and cutting edge special effects imaginable - but we need to put something else on top

I keep hoping someone will start a streaming service dedicated to nothing but behind the scenes, making of documentaries, vfx breakdown reels, stunts, production design, practical effects, sound design, etc. Like the heyday of the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s. Call it CINEFEX as a tribute to that magazine.

realgregwatts.bsky.social•5 days ago

Movie magic.

realgregwatts.bsky.social•5 days ago

Gotta admire the ingenuity of this effect and also the bravery of anyone standing below when the crew member stationed on the platform used a shotgun to help guide the debris into the vacuum. OSHA? Pfffffft.

realgregwatts.bsky.social•5 days ago

But for all the clever techniques my favorite by far was the chair gag.

samitsarkar.bsky.social•5 days ago

Interesting! I was wondering if the "raw cut" on the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Blu-ray was gonna make a difference in the voting, but I guess there's just so much love among the guilds for Dune.

daledrum.bsky.social•5 days ago

This allows thousands of bad “no CGI” takes to flourish.

tvaziri.com•5 days ago

correct

hypercubexl.bsky.social•5 days ago

I've been thrilled with all the mini breakdowns WETA has been putting out the past month, ILM has been pretty decent with them in the past as well, but I think it depends on the shows/studios, never see a whole lot from DNEG. regular people like 'em too!

jensonthehuman.bsky.social•4 days ago

I watched yesterday, it's great

s40films.bsky.social•5 days ago

A great film

tylertrautman.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's because there was NO CGI. We've been over this. All practical. Real worms. Huge cities built. Blue eye transplants. Christopher Walken. All real.

mechanicalbrain.bsky.social•5 days ago

Common misconception, Christopher Walken has not been seen since the December 2000 filming of Fatboy Slim's music video for Weapon of Choice (he never came down) and has been carefully CGI'd ever since.

kilokahn.bsky.social•3 days ago

Kurt Russell's son doesn't exist he's just a slightly de-aged Kurt Russell anytime they need a stunt or something they get a body double and just CGI his de-aged face on him.

tylertrautman.bsky.social•5 days ago

I smell a new tv series. “Where is Walken”.

tylertrautman.bsky.social•5 days ago

“Walken of Choice”.

willdearborn.bsky.social•5 days ago

Does this count at all?

tvaziri.com•5 days ago

whoa!

literally it was posted yesterday!
