@elonmusk There’s $1T in tax revenue sitting there if the government just collected the taxes owed to it. No new taxes, just collect. All of this uproar for not even $200B when there’s 5X as much potential revenue with less work. Good job on “efficiency” I guess.

@LunaToLune @vinny2cute @HumansNoContext Don’t pull Christian’s into this, we have no such thing.

@ItzNaeb @OWCavalry did you listen to the stream where it was described how much they tried with the rework to land on the current version? It makes sense it took so long because they really explored. Stop whining if you have zero clue about how much work it takes.

@tvaziri @stefceretti It’s one of the movies that made me realize what narrative could do and really inspired me to want to be a part of making movies. I’m now 12 years into a VFX career. The other movies are obviously Star Wars and LotR. But this one still holds a special place.

@jeffsimpsonkh @YvesTM I’m a compositor and AI can’t steel my job even if I wanted it to. It wouldn’t know how to do a proper edge treatment. It doesn’t even know what human hands look like yet. People seem to always want to lose their minds over whatever the new thing is.

@kev_da_god_12 @UkachukuSamuel @postchristpost @KnightsTempOrg @historyinmemes The bible doesn’t endorse those things, but it prophesied that man’s wickedness would become so great that it would lead to those things. That’s not how God intends for his creation to behave. He’s actually a God of Justice, and He hates evil.

@tvaziri Been doing some keen tools tracking and then smart vectors on the unwrapped UVs, and it works great for stuff like this.

@AProdigiosus Not your conventional art, but how about some VFX? Some coworkers and myself made the forging of the rings in the season one finale of rings of power. This was a career highlight for me as an artist.

@stsumej Not yet but it will be a thing at some point.

[Stephen Schmidt @SschmidtVFX]

@tvaziri The problem is that clients ask for it a lot.

@dawson19791 @AtquiBellus @f_fjay @kendallybrown @stjbs They definitely don’t do psych evals for military.

[Stephen Schmidt @SschmidtVFX]

@TheFigen_ Just want to throw out some clarification. Special effects is practical, visual effects is digital, so in this case his dad is a visual effects artist.

The project that got me back working again after a year off due to covid. #vfxbreakdown https://t.co/JJGYGxcZNH

@tvaziri Those VFX were bonkers. Idk what it is about Denis, but the VFX in his films are always the best. Mad props to the crew. Can’t wait for pt. 2

[Stephen Schmidt @SschmidtVFX]

@Starcadian Starcadian did it first. 🤣

[Stephen Schmidt @SschmidtVFX]

I’d go to mars to watch @AlexHonnold free solo something huge there.

[Stephen Schmidt @SschmidtVFX]

@Starcadian Let’s go papi, bring the funk
