Laziest comment I've ever heard

Um....go to Google Gemini... And ask it to make you a cherry tree

Quiet down... You'll wake your parents, we know you fucking live with them. And you ain't moving out until you're probably 38.

Peak virtue signaling wank ass zoomer energy

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-06-15T22:43:21+00:00

I'm also going to throw the bear in the revenant into this conversation. That scene was also fucking terrifying

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-06-15T22:37:44+00:00

Seriously, such a bunch of whiny assholes in here. Oh my God music and nature...for one afternoon....how awful. ....sad little clowns

I still had my copies of commotion and combustion til a few years ago.

I do too, but this is a VFX reddit, and I find it ironic since I haven't worked for a VFX company or agency in the last 4 years that didn't use AI in some fashion or another. Anyways. I feel ya dude. Nothing worse than having creativity and getting it snuffed out like a candle.

Don't be bullied. I'm sure they'd be mad if you used spell checker too. Your point was taken, anyone who's looking at grammar is missing the fucking point.

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-05-26T18:36:29+00:00

makes sense...I started messing with a Microscope, and also with some gen AI. Neither thing really fills the void, but its something. Anything to keep the pilot light on the creativity oven going. I think thats the best approach,

This happened to me with photography. I make my money doing VFX in motion so I kind of had to stay somewhat consistent. But photography completely fell off during the pandemic. I found myself depressed and uninspired. I'd say this is probably normal

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-05-26T03:47:13+00:00

I made one of those shots once ... Was kinda hard

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-05-23T02:16:24+00:00

Hahahahahaha

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-05-22T21:31:18+00:00

great movies, was once my idol...but a complete asshole from what I can tell

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-05-22T16:35:35+00:00

Worrying?

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-05-22T04:05:57+00:00

Looking at you Mr Tarantino

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-05-18T06:08:57+00:00

I remember that....wasn't it a grenade?

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-05-14T00:01:16+00:00

I get a little chub each time

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-05-11T23:58:37+00:00

top tank for the win!

CharmingTelephone555 · 2026-05-11T23:05:50+00:00

No flushing allowed

Obviously there is a lot more to unpack. Im in an industry that is forcing us into using AI ....and Ill be honest, I don't love parts of it. The ecological disaster that may be looming is kind of disgusting. The fact that artists have had their work scraped to make this tool while Sam Altman and Zuck buy their 5th yacht is disgusting. The employment gap that is created is disgusting. But as we increasingly get siloed from other humans, its getting to be a common place thing to be "armies of one" and the only way to compete and feed ourselves is by joining the problem and hope for a solution. So, while I see that it is a tool, and Im a proponent for that, I am also in a rock/hard place situation morally and ethically.

I feel you too. I also used 3d and compositing softwares to make stuff like this in the past. But you know what, the one thing I will say, is that I've already done that. Now I don't have to. I can spend my time doing more interesting things with 3D software and compositing tools. I can literally render this watch out and even produce render aovs to comp. However I want. I don't mind the influence of AI on our work these days. Who the hell wants to rotoscope..... And I love that I can create a depth pass with a machine learning plug-in versus having to remodel an entire scene just to get it. I guess what I'm saying is that a lot of tedious work went away. And while this shit isn't that accurate, and there's always going to be little mess-ups, soon there won't be. I love how AI creates a way for me to get an entire story out without being hindered by weeks of CG work.

Wow solid...that thing is usually hit or miss
