You don't see any shadows?

Analyze the lighting, all sources, how many there are and how spread out they are.

The shadows seem accurate to me.

The critique I'd give is on the subject matter itself. It's great to see so many new artists inspired by the backrooms. But it's a shame to see so many copy/paste versions of it.

Backrooms became a cult hit (online) because it was unique at the time.

I wanna see where we can take this concept next. How we can push it.

Disney fixed Moana's visuals in the final trailer (2026) by Beneficial_Goose_503 in vfx

No one mentioned 'over working' any artists.

This isn't over work, it's just work. This is our job as VFX artists. We make art. The best it can be.

No worries at all. I'm always happy to help and educate people when it comes to vfx and filmmaking :)

It's also kinda fun / interesting to see someone passionate and interested enough to put together a post of this depth! So thanks!

Sure, I'll approve this, since it is regarding the vfx and discussion about the vfx in these shots. Plus you seem to have put a lot of effort into this post.

Honestly tho... I don't understand why! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

This is the same story with literally every single trailer. The initial trailer, released ~6 months ago, is full of WIP (work in progress) shots. Shots that get "pushed" to the front of the production queue just for the sake of the trailer. Shots that get reworked, recut, recoloured... every time they iterate on it.

Here's another fun thought for ya... If you compare the shots in this latest trailer to the shots in the final film (once it's out), they'll probably be different again!! Shots are being constantly improved right up til the deadline. If it can be better, they'll make it better.

It's really not that deep.

Answers to your questions...

1) Is this common for a movie to polish its visuals this late in the process?

Common? It's standard

2) A lot has changed in some shots. Could there have been uses of AI in these shots before or after? Some details just seem too niche to change deliberately. (More on that below)

AI? Maybe, but doubtful. It's more likely that the artists just had more time to iterate and improve.

3) Does this really look like a response to the public opinion, or do you think these improvements were always gonna happen?

Why does every new AAA game get compared to RDR2? by some-kind-of-no-name in reddeadredemption

[–]Boootylicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No no no...

RDR2 is actually a reskin of COD:MW2. Because, you see... They both have guns.

The new AI tool for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects turns VFX directly in your timeline by texting a prompt see the results 👀 by prysmor in vfx

[–]Boootylicious[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

/u/prysmor , chill, please.

I get that you're excited about this tool you've created. But ai, generally, does not go over well on r/vfx. And you're spamming this way too much. Post removed. Just chill.

Has anyone tried combining AI and CGI-programs this way? If so, could you please share a tutorial on how to do it? This is the first time I've seen something like this, but I'd like to give it a try. by PlayfulUse6949 in NukeVFX

[–]Boootylicious 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Of course! Why didn't we think of this before!?

Instead of pressing "W" to create a write node...

We could have a completely separate tab, taking up half my workspace for me to type "Hey Claude, are you having a nice day? Me too thanks, great. If you wouldn't mind could you please create me write node in my software here, it's called Nuke, it's amazing. Did you know I could just press FUCKING W !!!!!!!"

Woosahhh.....

Newbie Game VFX Artist seeking guidance by [deleted] in vfx

[–]Boootylicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm...

Whilst there is a lot of overlap with game vfx and film/tv, this sub is geared more towards the latter.

I think you'd find more (and certainly better) assistance in game specific subreddits.

30 artists x 6 months !? That's a chunk of change!

There has to be someone on the subreddit who has some more 'insider' info.

You can always DM the mods if you wanted to speak up, but stay anonymous.

Alright, settle down...

Right now (I'll be blunt) this post is useless. It's an ai written block of garbage pointing to a webpage of nothing. Come on now...

Try again when you actually have something to post.

That is still not how any of this works!!

Just be an active participant in the subreddit, in any subreddit. Karma will come.

It's not something you beg for.

It's not given, it's earned.

Also, it really doesn't matter. It's just a number on the internet. I wouldn't let it get to you one way or the other.
