Upscale SF crushed it with a talented, diverse and fun crowd from across many industries. I learned a ton!

It’s was an honor to be on stage for the closing panel - thanks for having me @magnific team. You were missed @javilopen !

[Upscale Conf @upscaleconf]

The real workflows. The hard-won lessons. The new economic models behind hybrid AI filmmaking

On stage at #UpscaleConf: Joanna Popper, Kevin Baillie, Kavan Cardoza and Christina Lee Storm with "Real AI Film Workflows"

Honest take: @robotaxi > @Waymo for smoothness, and snappiness from departure to arrival. If only there were more of them in San Francisco!

@agraphafx Man - I spent so many hours in that room on Ep1. Nostalgia hit!!!

[Kevin Baillie @kbvfx]

This is *HUGE* for those behind the scenes in VFX. Thank you @h20warrior @Filmbot and the rest of the folk in @VFXSociety who supported the effort. 🙏

1000s of hours will be saved from debating directory structure alone 🤣

Diggin’ beach lunch in my fav new hat 🩵

[Kevin Baillie @kbvfx]

Okay, this is amazing!!! Nice work. ❤️🤯

And thanks for not starting your post with some “we made a billion dollar movie in 2 days” BS. This is too good for clickbait. Let the entertainment stand for itself!

PI HARD starring Neil deGrasse Tyson and Elon Musk

@SawyerMerritt TBH the OG Juke was so fugly that I’m kinda liking this…

[Kevin Baillie @kbvfx]

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla They do know there’s a “like” button, right? 😂

@qatarairways We had an amazing experience with you SEA > DOH > BOM yesterday! Traveling with two small kids can be brutal, but QSuites and @Starlink made it a breeze!

I even took a work video call from the air and had better connectivity than those stuck in LA traffic! 😂🤯

[Kevin Baillie @kbvfx]

@RealDanODowd We do know 100% for sure that camera-only L5 is possible. Humans can already do it with just two.

@aakashgupta It’s people like you who used to call Tesla “structurally bankrupt” and insisted that they would never turn a profit.

The concept of deploying capital to enable revenue generation is not a new one.

[Kevin Baillie @kbvfx]

@javilopen The “if it isn’t possible today, it sure never will be” crowd never ceases to amaze me.

I mean, just extrapolate linearly if you have such a hard time grasping the exponential progress we’re truly living through. But a flat line? COME ON!!! 🤡 🤣

[Kevin Baillie @kbvfx]

@SawyerMerritt @Starlink From 30k ft in the air w/@united . Game changer!

Jumping on @qatarairways in 3 weeks for a long haul with @Starlink and can’t wait!

[Kevin Baillie @kbvfx]

When the @Tesla Model S first hit the scene, I was interviewed by @Reuters about my experience. They picked my quote as their opening line:

"When I got into my car, I thought, 'Wait a minute, this looks like something from the movie I just worked on,'" said Baillie. "It's like Star Trek."

The crazy thing is that @elonmusk and team have worked hard to keep that same feeling alive ever since - the wonder with the cars (esp. w FSD) is still as visceral now as it was 13 years ago.

Farewell, Model S. You, and your fellow X, 3, Y and @Cybertruck brethren have changed the automotive landscape, and my view of cars, forever.

@Project_RCC Yeah, my Model 3 is the same. But the CT hauls ass and switches lanes often

[Kevin Baillie @kbvfx]

On a @united flight with @Starlink 🤯 Man, do I love the future!

[Kevin Baillie @kbvfx]

@otokyo 0. And I'm "only" 46 🤣
