@Bazan_Cin Damn, no way!

@BrandonStraka Jeez, can’t wait for this left vs right bs to finally stop so we can focus on why gas is high, food cost more, people don’t know what they’re eating, and home take 40 years to own.

You will forever just be a meat sucker of the industry. That is fine if you’re not trying to be a serious, but Hollywood can only take glazing for so long and your unimproved skillset makes it less likely to be acknowledged.

[Darren J. DeF @DarrenJDef]

If you’re an aspiring filmmaker and you think attending every movie produced by a major studios, glazing every director, and no one else involved, is going to get you in their “good graces” instead of looking for new or unknown filmmakers to work and build with.

[Darren J. DeF @DarrenJDef]

@GraceRandolph Agreed! 👏🙌

[Darren J. DeF @DarrenJDef]

Y’all best be prepared to take a bullet for your beliefs from here on. Remember, one side supports guns more than the other. #CharlieKirkshot

Getting tired of seeing amateur filmmakers sucking the glizzy of all major studios. They will not hire you cause you Glock 3000 them. Forever just a fan and not a contributor. Stay in your place, using free labor, never working for anyone other than yourselves.

[Darren J. DeF @DarrenJDef]

It will always be the producer(s) fault when movies flop or if they fail to even come to fruition and completed. Ironically enough, for low-budget/indie, it’s the director because they tend not to care about the business of film.

Dakota Johnson says "Madame Web" flopping "wasn’t my fault. There’s this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee. Or made by people who don’t have a creative bone in their body."

Sean Baker for best director makes me so proud! #Oscars2025

I think the In Memoriam missed one #Oscars

@GraceRandolph It was great until Dune: Part II won VFX over Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Wild….

[Darren J. DeF @DarrenJDef]

The real issue is the cut between the OTS into the medium wide of his face. The cut doesn’t transition the intense motion of that barrel roll. Although it is a “perfect” cut slicing the movement together, one of these shots needed an additional .3-.7 second hold.

[Grace Randolph @GraceRandolph]

This is an interesting shot spoiled by a weird CGI face that doesn’t look like Corenswet - I hope they fix that

I am pleased to announce "VFX artist" to my resume. #liveaction2danimation

[Frame Figure Pictures @thesugrpinkcar]

Live-action animation is a staple of blockbuster filmmaking nowadays, but let's not forget that it all started with 2D integration. #2danimation #liveaction

[Darren J. DeF @DarrenJDef]

It’s funny to me when a movie that features an animated character/protagonist is not considered an animated film. Would the main difference be that it looks photoreal, therefore it must be? To me, these will and have alway been live-action animations. Semantics I guess lol

[Matt Ramos @therealsupes]

FIRST LOOK AT THE LIVE-ACTION HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON!!!

[Darren J. DeF @DarrenJDef]

@MTA what the hell is really going when “the bridge is open” between Beach 67th and Broad Channel? I know it don’t physically open.
