@mattworkman As someone who spent a good 15 years pushing vertices around (before moving to game engine) I have to agree with you. The road to bespoke assets is a long one and modelling will remain a niche craft for a very long time, but the toolset will slowly melt away.

[Bill Bourbeau @vfxdad]

@punk4156 Haha $1m VFX budget. I think you’re actually referring to the cost of the campaign (all-in for agency and production co) not including the ad buy. How many client rounds? 11th hour script changes? The VFX shop would be lucky to get a 15-20% cut of that budget.

@WalkaboutMG Atlantis and Sweetopia are recurring favorites. The new Wallace & Gromit is the… cheese! Absolutely brilliant!!

[Bill Bourbeau @vfxdad]

And i thought it couldn’t get any better!

Brace yourself for a whirlwind of ingenious contraptions that'll tickle both die-hard fans and curious newcomers alike. Prepare to be whisked away on a fun-filled journey through iconic moments from the beloved films. Grab a club and get cracking this Thursday!

@clownworld I think Motley Lou figured this out? #hottubtimemachine

[Bill Bourbeau @vfxdad]

@ianmiles i’d start with hitting it in the same place every time.

[Bill Bourbeau @vfxdad]

@XRandrew yay. now i can exist in a hamster wheel of doom.

[Bill Bourbeau @vfxdad]

@iBrews totally get this. the rock-solid tracking combined with “spatial memory” is the special sauce.

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made)

I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

[Bill Bourbeau @vfxdad]

@SkarredGhost Yes, exactly. This was highly rehearsed with multiple takes, with the DP getting several from multiple angles (even with a mult-cam setup).

[Bill Bourbeau @vfxdad]

@hmltn Deferred to Feb 3rd (family stuff). Excited to see their spin on UX. And maybe do some 3d lookdev on a giant screen?

[Bill Bourbeau @vfxdad]

@benz145 Quite curious what the optimal WiFi setup should look like. (I don’t have the latest and greatest). Assuming the headset requires a high bandwidth connection for virtual 4k displays.

[Bill Bourbeau @vfxdad]

@WebDesignMuseum my god, this is depressing. 😕

[Bill Bourbeau @vfxdad]

a sign you still are jet-lagged: cumin does not equal cinnamon. “Daddy,our oatmeal tastes like tacos!”
