The Making of Impossible Burger
Posted in: Animation
Introducing Impossible Burger
Remember the best burger you’ve ever eaten? Our dedicated team of top scientists, farmers and chefs spent the last six years studying it from cow to bun. Then we identified methods and ingredients to naturally recreate everything — the sights, sounds, aromas, textures and flavors. The result? This impossibly delicious game changer of a burger.
Because we use 0% cows, the Impossible Burger uses a fraction of the Earth’s natural resources. Compared to cows, the Impossible Burger uses 95% less land, 74% less water, and creates 87% less greenhouse gas emissions. And it’s 100% free of hormones, antibiotics, and artificial ingredients.

Hybrid modular – The one must-have module: bridging Eurorack and VCV Rack, Softube (ES-8 and MOTU)
Posted in: Animation
NOTE: If you’re going to use a DC Coupled interface use a floating ring TRS cable and not the one show in the video – see more info below.
Here’s what this clip is about: Going modular is a lot of fun but can get very expensive, very fast. But there’s a way put together a hybrid modular synth in a gradual, focused way, by only getting the modules you need in hardware form, and integrating others using software.
After experimenting a lot with creating a hybrid VCV/Eurorack – I can say it works really nicely. If anyone asks me what’s my one must have Eurorack module, it’s definitely one which will let you bridge between virtual modules and real ones.
In this video I review the ES-8 from Expert Sleepers and the 8A from MOTU, check out their pros and cons, and how well they integrate with virtual eurorack from VCV, Softube and other software.

TRS CABLE NOTE: A note regarding the cable I mentioned around 14:25 – Thanks to Andrew from Expert Sleepers for this comment:

In general special cables are recommended when using a DC-coupled audio interface as a source of CVs. Most audio interfaces have balanced outputs (on TRS (‘stereo’) jacks or XLRs), while synth CV inputs are unbalanced (usually on TS (‘mono’) jacks or minijacks). If you use a regular stereo or mono jack lead, you’ll be shorting out one of the balanced output signals (usually the R (ring) to the S (shield)). While this probably wouldn’t be a problem for normal audio use, when outputting the sustained voltages that are useful as CVs you risk damaging the interface hardware.

Star Wars, RoboCop, Jurassic Park and Starship Troopers are just some of the projects Phil Tippett has left his indelible mark on. The visual effects supervisor famously navigated a major transition in the visual effects industry from practical effects – in which he had specialised in stop-motion animation – to the digital world we are so familiar with today.
Soon Tippett will be sharing this journey at FMX in Stuttgart, Germany, as part of a Then & Now series of talks I’m co-ordinating at the conference. His talk is called ‘Lessons in Motion: “Star Wars” to “Starship Troopers”, and Beyond’ and will take place on Friday April 27th. There’s also going to be a screening the night before of MAD GOD, Tippett’s return to the world of stop-motion.
Right now, vfxblog has this special gallery featuring Tippett’s work from over the years in film – from humble beginnings through to major effects blockbusters. Enjoy, and hope to see you at FMX.
Check out the rest of the FMX 2018 program here.
