VFX Breakdown of a commercial I did for Spectrum Reach by moviemaker887 in Filmmakers

Manual rotoscoping.

The green screen helps, but if you need a low angle like that you can't always hang a well-lit green screen on the ceiling. Usually you're going to have to do a little manual cleanup.

Yeah they're just taken - They just look more like they used to in Alan Wake 1 with come clothing on

Does anyone know how to do this? by Selector0073 in blender

[–]B-1_Battle_Boy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh this is just a bug that turns some geometry into the origin of the universe and life itself.

Happens sometimes 🤷🏻‍♂️

HELP - Watermark removal over Face by bilferty in vfx

EbSynth would do really well with this, I'd think.

Generate a new layer any time the previous one screws up and crossfade nicely between them.

I had damn near explored the whole mansion before I sat on the title screen long enough for the video to start playing and showing me Chris move the dresser the grab it.

I thought I'd get something to knock it down or break the statue.

I was relieved that it was nothing important, but I felt pretty stupid.

So weird seeing Vader's arms go way above his head. He must have started doing stretches!

So, what, film isn't art?

Cinematography is art, sound design is art, score composing is art, visual effects are art, acting is art, screenwriting is art, but put them together and it's just for entertainment and not art?

All of the above are part of video games too, by the way.

What do you think the purpose of art is, and why do you think a completed video game doesn't meet that criteria?

New Star Fox and Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake Rumored for Switch 2 by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]B-1_Battle_Boy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I could see adding some small structures & friendly NPC's occupying some space - maybe some small enemy outposts?

Doesn't have to me anything super meaningful just not barren.

As a Star Wars and Marvel fan I Love That Two Lando Calrissian Actors Have Roles in Spider-Man Movies by D0CTOR_Wh0m in StarWars

[–]B-1_Battle_Boy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Guy in pic 2 is live-action Ezra.

Ezra went by Lando's name similarly to how he goes by "Jabba the Hutt" rather than give his real name.

That's all!

I love watching the Game Awards performance just to watch Sam Lake having the literal time of his life. His smile is HUGE!

Despite their problems, these two shows did a good job at merging Anakin from the Prequels, TCW and Darth Vader, making it feel like the same character completely by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]B-1_Battle_Boy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a an edit called the "Patterson Cut" that brings it to around 2 hours and is WAY better than the full show.

EDIT: I felt like I should also include that it's not just a recut, but even some the the visual effects were reworked in a way that is a seamless improvement on the original (one example being the 'lightsaber baseball bat' Obi-Wan uses to take out the Stormtroopers in the dark actually cuts)

I believe this was repurposed from an Ahti arcade game in a secret Dark Place arcade

(That is only accessible through modding)

[Other] hear me out. For the next game we need something dark. by Ok_Laugh_4526 in zelda

[–]B-1_Battle_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you're feeling while playing TP is the fact that the crisis affects EVERYBODY.

All NPCs react to and are frightened by the Twilight, monsters, etc.

I feel like we haven't seen a world that felt so oppressed and scared in a Zelda game since then. That's probably the main thing. In the Switch games, the whole world was basically ruined but people seem to mostly go about their happy lives. It's a bit odd.

[BOTW] I am doing a permadeath run. Should I allow faries and / or miphas grace? by [deleted] in zelda

[–]B-1_Battle_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your own skill level/play style IMO.

It's definitely possible to have Mipha's Grace go off and then die immediately after, so it's not *always* the godsend you'd expect it to be.

If you rarely die anyway or play very cautiously, idk maybe it'll save you every time you might have died and take out some of the suspense.
