TROPHY CASE

Reddit, am I the only one that despises weddings and everything about them? Please give me your insights. by xtatik222kin AskReddit

This is true, and in that regard, I completely agree with you. It's more the ceremonial goings-on that I can't comprehend.

I've done my fair share of roto as well... It gets old really fast. Keep at it!

I never actually thought of this until now, which is surprising since I'm studying VFX currently. I would imagine either the entire ring was CG, or they painted the camera reflection out of the ring surface in post.

Just watched the first episode. Nothing really happened...

100 tons of insane. by chazysciotain videos

[–]xtatik222k 0 points1 point ago

That's pretty crazy. And the explosion is huge... Considering there was a difference of around 1.8 seconds between when the explosives detonated and the sound reached the camera, we can say the explosion was around 500-600m away. Unbelievable...

Wow... I never thought Alex would make it to Reddit. I used to go to school with him. He's probably going to be the next Chris Lilley...

Apocalyptic short based on Bukowski's Dinosauria, We (subtitles included). Feedback much appreciated. by WimpyAssFaggotin Filmmakers

I agree. I'm generally a fairly imaginative person and I'm good at filling in the blanks, but this piece just didn't really grab me.

Security footage of Fullerton police beating and killing Kelly Thomas - YouTube by therealtimlopezin videos

I hope the two who were charged go to prison, because if they do, the inmates will make their lives a living hell, which is only a fraction of what they deserve for killing an innocent man.

Why I Love Australian Football by J_Sparkyin funny

Precisely the reason 'soccer' will never have my heart like AFL does:

I clicked on this hoping there would be some tips or tricks on the other end to help make me feel better about myself :(

How pissed would you be if you woke up to find out they did this to you? by mikep500in videos

[–]xtatik222k 180 points181 points ago

I've been to many parties where somebody has passed out to become the subject of this kind of prank. The odd shaved eye-brow or 'dick-on-the-forehead' kinda thing. But there's something about covering a guy's whole torso with marker and then flapping his head around like a puppet that kinda makes me feel bad. Isn't it a little too far? Not because of how the guy will feel in the morning. (I'm hoping he was okay) But rather how disrespectful it would be to do this kind of thing to a human being if it ended up being their last few hours in the world before dying from alcohol poisoning. Having said that, I can definitely see the funny side, and I hope he woke up in the morning and saw it too.

Hi! I am Dean Wright, a Film Director, but used to be a Visual Effects Supervisor/Producer (The Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Titanic). AMA by vfx_dudein IAmA

[–]xtatik222k 9 points10 points ago*

An industry-standard package you should look into is Nuke, by the Foundry. It's becoming more and more widely used every day in VFX. It's a much more open and versatile piece of software than AE (Don't get me wrong, I love AE, it's great for motion graphics and simple compositing) because the assets you use are node-based rather than layer based. You know how you can connect nodes in a myriad of different ways using the Hypershade in Maya? The same is true for Nuke, so you can extract and merge different elements in a completely non-destructive workflow. It's a compositor's dream.

edit* For the sake of interest, here is a showreel video of some NUKE-based work:

Hi there! I'm an aspiring Visual Effects artist and I've been studying for two years now. I love the work, love the industry, but I'm not sure if I want to spend my entire life behind a computer screen, which is why the VFX supervisor role seems so appealing to me. (getting my hands dirty on set makes my mouth water) My question is:

-What attributes make good VFX supervisors?

Thanks for your time.

Hey reddit, I just found a picture of my mom when she was 20. by JimmyJamesincorpin pics

It's a damn shame there's no such thing as heaven or hell. If there was a hell, he's one person who definitely deserves to be there.

Legolas doesn't give a shit about physics. by hughi94in videos

[–]xtatik222k 0 points1 point ago

The legolas seen sliding down the trunk is fake/cg. But somewhere between where he jumps off, and lands on the ground, they composite a real plate into the footage, then the real legolas is seen giving gimli that look. (Shot would have been recorded in front of a greenscreen.

You're right, I just wanted to comment since I had something semi-relevant to say. And I'm probably better at talking about CG than I am about physics :)
