Much has been said about Spielberg’s uncanny ability to tell a story within a frame and set up geography, and usually folks use his long oners as examples of this talent.

But here’s an innocuous 26-second-long shot from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” (1989) that does all those things.

Got to give some input on AI in Hollywood (across VFX & other departments) more so practical use today (ML/CV) www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
For Hollywood, AI Is a Double-Edged Sword
It’s cheaper, but also a job killer. Expect disruption in VFX, fiercer labor fights and, possibly, an invigoration of the production landscape.

Reminder that if you haven’t seen Oblivion do yourself a favor and watch it. Then listen to the amazing soundtrack on repeat. Joe & Claudio kicking off a great team dynamic back in 2011.

Might need to stock up on things before EOY. Stuff might damn pricey next year.

Every time someone repeats the totally incorrect myth that "CGI" is cheaper than practical effects—it's not and that's a ridiculous statement—'because "CGI" isn't unionized,' they're unwittingly giving ammunition to studios who are arguing that unionization would be bad for the industry (it's not).

Well that was a nice surprise to stumble on Day of the Jackal show. Great cast and now awaiting the next episode.

Seems to be a lot more creatives showing up here which is a good thing. Rather talk more film, art, tech and craft than all the other noise

HERE was an amazing, endearing and technically challenging film to be a part of from the very early days again getting work with the same production team I did Pinocchio with. I always know when I get a call from Kevin Baillie it’s either to talk cars or tech and any projects we do together are fun.
