Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

@TheJacksonDumas This deserves more likes

The fact that this isn’t Ed Norton troubles me to this day

Minority Report is a cinematic masterpiece and this is your yearly reminder to watch it

@sainimatic @runwayml Fantastic! Would like to see more on this workflow. Is it procreate->midjourney->runway?

@esdi You have the benefit of pyro sims that we didn't have when we did those shots for DS9 using pyro elements shot in gravity.

A thread showing many behind the scenes features that show how movies were made are now often a lie.

[Todd Vaziri @tvaziri]

Regular people assume the footage from behind-the-scenes featurettes are the “truth” — in fact, it is now standard practice to alter pieces of documentary footage from EPK “making-of” b-roll for public consumption for various reasons.

@kyalbr A lot of discussion whether this was practical or VFX. I think it would be more complicated to do in VFX than just getting it right on set. Watching Joaquin's eyes, maybe a monitor reflection in the glass, or a mark beyond the lipstick to nail the line-up? Pure speculation

[Bruce Branit @branitfx]

@TheJulieBenson Apparently... We don't need no animation.

[Bruce Branit @branitfx]

@perlyngemark @TeslaPatriot Yes. It will. I saw the road rage in my mirror.

It’s funny. The internet on April Fools Day is not much different than the internet on any other day now.

Fabio just never came back from that goose.

@MarkSpatny On/Below the line, they will still rep:
-DPs
-Editors
-Colorists
-Stunt Coordinators
-Production Designers
-Costume Designers

What gives?

[Bruce Branit @branitfx]

@MarkSpatny For reps or for us?

[Bruce Branit @branitfx]

I don’t think this is another “no CGI” lie. But something here does not pass the sniff test. 16 hours is a fortune of expensive production time for a giant tent pole movie. Anyone ever seen the 156 takes? @tvaziri ?

[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

Filmed over the course of 16 hours and requiring 156 takes, Tobey Maguire did the "tray catch" scene in Spider-Man without any special effects.

@tvaziri To be superseded by the “No AI was used on this movie” PR

[Bruce Branit @branitfx]

Can confirm this story from the set of Righteous Gemstonses

[Rian Johnson @rianjohnson]

Emmet came to set with 2 things: a copy of his credits, which was a small-type single spaced double column list of modern classics that filled a whole page, & two-dollar bills which he passed out to the entire crew. “Don’t spend it and you’ll never be broke.” Absolute legend. ♥️
