What do you talk about OUTSIDE of work?

Posted in: The Pad
I sometimes finds myself in the position where my co-workers/friends will talk about visual effects, and when ever we are outside. Wether it be lunch time, or going out to the movies or to drinks, somehow the topic always ends up going back to work. And I find myself usually having to sway the conversation to another topic all together. Video Games. A concert they went to. A book they read. A movie they watched (and NOT talk about the effects). Or a girlfriend in their lives. Yet the topic will always seem to go back to work. Including such mundane things as how the last movie messed up the LUT and all our shots look like ass.

One of my friends in vfx told me he likes hanging out with me because I don’t talk about VFX outside of the office. And I while I think my co-workers/friends rock… the last thing I want to talk on the way to the movies is a roto shape that needs to be kicked back because it wobbles. I don’t even like talking about VFX after we watch the movie. I just want to watch the movie as an overall package, and the vfx should just blend into the story.

What about you guys? What do you talk about in your spare time outside of the office with your fellow VFX chum? Or are you guilty of talking VFX non stop?

Compatibility issues when transferring from 5.1 to 5.2

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
I was wondering if anyone has a list of definite problems when going from one to the other, specifically from 5.1v2 to 5.2v1. I have a roto shot that I have started in 5.1v2 with a few keys in my script, and should probably be building my script in 2v1. Any thoughts?

Hi, Beginner here.

Posted in: Beginners Talk
Hi,
I’m new to these forums. I read a lot about which software to use and whatnot for vfx. Honestly, I just started delving into the vfx world and I was wondering about where to start.

For starters, I downloaded the learning edition of fusion and I am so eager to learn. I also am a member of lynda.com and am currently studying Maya for 3d.

I was just wondering where I can find tutorials for Fusion and how you pros started out in the vfx world. Like what process you went through to get yourself in it. What software you learned first and all that.

I started with AE a few months ago but kept reading in forums that AE isn’t used much in the industry cause it is layer based. So I just recently downloaded Fusion and am eager to learn.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. Any information would help out a lot. 🙂

Framestore: “DJ Hero” Cinematic

Posted in: activision, cg, cinematic, dj battle, dj hero, framestore, General, Intro, marco puig, pepper, video game

DJhero_Cinematic_Framestore1

In the latter-day tradition of epic video-game cinematics, we present DJ Hero. Reared with love by Framestore and directed by Marco Puig, DJ Hero is a knock down, drag out grind in CG overdrive. There’s a lot going on, which—depending on your taste—can work for, or against it.

Through a medley of quick cuts and steely beats, Hero has all the trappings of an action movie—gushing with testosterone, and unabashedly fetishizing explosions and getaway tractor-trailers. The whole shebang kicks off like a DJ set—mix-matching and beat-juggling through an evolving cast of rogue characters and sticky situations.

The look is industrial, borrowed from the classic fusion of sci-fi and grit—popularized by films like Blade Runner. Through a loose narrative and several character face-offs, the piece crescendos with a throng of break-dancers, as the DJ—our master of ceremonies and resident “Hero”—spins a record or two in a celebratory close.

KL’S SELF-LOATHING VINYL TOY.

Posted in: fashion, Fat Mummies, Gallery, Karl Lagerfeld, Overweight

lagerfeld-tokidoki-figure-1

KL’s relentless war on the fat continued to blossom this week as he defended the skinny people who wear his clothes from the teeming hordes who want to tie his waifish models to pick-up truck bumpers and drag them through Parisian streets. As he levels cantankerous tweets at the overweight it would lead one to believe that Karl had never been fat. This would be wrong. KL was once king fatty of fatty mountain and is now making an attempt to wipe that image from our minds by lashing out at our chubby friends. We see you, KL. No matter how many toothpick-waisted vinyl toys or Beth Ditto photo ops pop up on the interweb, you’ll never be able to rid a google search of your formerly fat ass.
