Marcia Lucas has passed away at the age of 80

The Oscar-winning editor of the original 'Star Wars' film

@elchicomorera Evidentemente sería para un público muy nicho. Gente que se esté planteando o quiera hacer una película independiente y estudiantes de cine

[Vilo Torralvo @vilotorralvo]

@elchicomorera Depende de cómo lo plantees puede ser muy interesante. El proceso de preproducción, tu forma de trabajar con actores, visión a la hora de tomar decisiones y como la vas a distribuir puede estar muy bien como vídeos por separado o uno entero

Paul Thomas Anderson used his Best Picture Oscar speech to shout out a bunch of incredible movies that DIDN'T win, reminding the "losers" tonight that their films will still go down in history:

"In 1975, the Oscar nominees for Best Picture were Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Jaws, Nashville, and Barry Lyndon. There is no 'best' among them. There is just what that mood might be that day. But we're happy to be part of this: a wonderful, wonderful journey with our fellow nominees, our fellow filmmakers, and our fellow filmmakers that even weren't recognized by the Academy. There's so many great films this year."

@georgiem2000 I wasn't expecting to feel like watching La La Land 2 while reading your tweets 🥲

[goma @soigomaa]

Maturing is realizing that La La Land is actually a happy ending
It is not about two people staying together forever, it is about two people meeting at the right time, changing each other's lives, and leaving with more than they came with. Mia became the woman she dreamed of because Seb believed in her, and Seb built the club he always wanted because Mia reminded him not to give up.
Their love was not wasted. It was a bridge, carrying each of them to the lives they were destined for, proof that not every love is forever but every love can mean something. And sometimes the most honest ending is not holding on, but walking forward with gratitude for what was given.

@JMaquiavello Pero vamos, que antes de los golden globes casi que solo veía a gente idolatrando la película aquí y después ha venido una avalancha de comentarios negativos

[Vilo Torralvo @vilotorralvo]

@JMaquiavello Creo que la vulgaridad al principio de la película hace que cause rechazo desde un buen principio para muchos y les cueste conectar después. Puede que también entre en conflicto la idea que tiene cada persona sobre los movimientos revolucionarios/ ejército y se lo tomen personal

Empathy is worked out like a muscle when you read fiction, because all those characters’ internal monologues teach you how other people think. You don’t get that level of information with other media formats.

The decline in readership is part of why we’re in an empathy shortage.

When they say nobody moves a camera like Spielberg, they’re absolutely right.

[Swen Vincke @where? @LarAtLarian]

It’s been a week since we announced Divinity, our next RPG, and a lot has become lost in translation.

Larian’s DNA is agency. Everything we work towards is to the benefit of our teams, games, and players. A better work day, and a better game. Our successes come from empowering people to work in their own way and bring the best out of their skill & craft, so that we can make the best RPGs we can possibly make.

In that context, it would be irresponsible for us not to evaluate new technologies. However, our processes are always evolving, and where they are not efficient or fail to align with who we are, we will make changes.

To give you more insight, we’ll do an AMA featuring our different departments after the holiday break, in which you’ll get the opportunity to ask us any questions you have about Divinity and our dev process directly.

We’ll announce the date in the new year. In the meantime, I wish you all happy holidays!

Concept Artist here, the "AI hate" directed at Larian Studio is 100% ignorant and bad faith virtue-signaling.

Artists are NOT against AI usage as a tool, we're against Generative AI that was trained on real artworks and mass-produced "slops" that imitated our hard work and then marketed as our replacement.

In pre-production, the art team would grab random pics off the internet and other games to create a general mood board for aesthetics and "vibe" that fit the art direction (There are more nuances than this, I'm describing this in the most simplified way possible)

A mood board of a character may include several pictures of other videogames or anime shows, dozens of object with "texture references" for parts of their attire, multiple reference pictures of relevant objects such as animals or historical weapons or even other character artwork made for other games; ALL of which are randomly drawn from the internet and put together for the purpose of creating an overall aesthetic for a design that will become original in its own way inspired by its references and the artist's own creativity and originality to visualize it when they create the design by doing ART.

Larian Studio mentioned using AI to streamline this process; an actively menial labor of "looking for relavant and cool pics on the internet" in essence.

There is zero reason why AI speeding up this process is a bad thing; it is essentially the same as someone asking Grok for facts they could have spent a few hours reading through Wikipedia pages.

None of the pictures grabbed by either the AI or the art team in this process are being exploited for any monetary gain since they're simply inspiration and visual direction, this has been standard practice in the industry for decades.

[ShyVortex 🇵🇸 @ShyVortex]

If I speak about the Larian situation I may upset some of you, but there are people who really need to study the topic before speaking, learn the differences between AI slop and use cases where it can actually help, stages where it can speed up workflow

En 1981, #OrsonWelles grabó una discusión con los estudiantes de la Universidad del Sur de California.
Cuando le preguntaron si pensaba rodar una nueva película para "contrarrestar" los numerosos estrenos de cine puramente comercial, esto contestó el maestro...
