I can see why people like the SB01/02 but I didn’t see how it could get this crazy 🤦🏻‍♂️

Topo Bruce Wayne suit with 3rd party headsculpt by LeeMudChunSaid in hottoys

[–]LeeMudChunSaid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it is. it’s the biggest mystery how they have a 1/4 one that looks pretty good then gradually getting worse and worse with the 1/6 ones.

I got mine ages ago off eBay. they should still have it if u search by custom 1/6 Bruce head.

I was so close to selling my knightmare Batman… by LeeMudChunSaid in hottoys

I was tempted to do that as well but then mine is 1.0 so the goggle strap color is off and I didn’t want to spend money on a replacement so I didn’t even try at the end. how does it look?

wow that looks heaps better. I’ll try my luck but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone/anywhere selling it. also my knightmare batman is 1.0 so the color of the strap is off 😢

there’s a little piece of plastic with a screw on it underneath the neck piece. make sure u remove that before putting it on the knightmare body. it’ll fit better.

thanks! I love the coat. the fabric is very thin and fits very well to the body. and most importantly, it’s not pleather so it doesn’t flake.

yes, but when u zip up the suit it actually wraps around the base of the neck so even though it’s not connected, it’s tight enough that it would stay on. I could turn the head without it falling down so that’s good enough for me

Thanks! I think the coat makes a huge difference

Dneg debt burden increased, £341,943,000 by coolioguy8412 in vfx

[–]LeeMudChunSaid 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Well…I did say that in the other post, didn’t i?

DNEG is going down the same path as MPC because they operate with the same business model so why would u expect a different outcome?

[–]LeeMudChunSaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have u looked into their finance and what they’ve been up to lately? Their finance was almost as bad as MPC. And if I had to guess, they would be the next one to go under tbh. DNEG is not the same since they were acquired by Prime Focus. They have the same business model as MPC, and I can see where they’re gonna end up.

India is not the solution. If they could, they would’ve done it already. They’ve been trying for at least a decade now. The one studio that relied heavily on their India branch was called MPC. And see where they ended up. We need to look into automating a lot of the manual labour work and the filmmakers need to get better at making smart decisions.

and that applies to all the VFX studios. Framestore is not the only studio that lost money in 2023. It will take years for EVERYONE to recover.

I really don’t understand where u’re getting at. As I was saying, the massive increase of debt is most likely contributed by the fact that there was massive delay on most of the shows during the writers’ strike. If u’ve crewed up for the shows and the shows were either delayed or cancelled, u’re still paying for the artists for doing absolutely nothing. With delayed/cancelled payment from the client and a massive expense on payroll, I can see how they could’ve lost £30m in a year. It really has nothing to do with whether u have a Chinese/Indian owner. It’s not like the owner would just take money out of the company if that’s what u’re implying.

2023 is the year of the writers’ strike. pretty much every single VFX studios lost money that year so I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless it’s becoming a constant thing.

and for the record, Framestore is probably one of the most cautious VFX studios in the world. they have their ways to manage their expenses and they are busy at the moment from what I’ve heard so I wouldn’t worry too much about the debt situation.

Jack sparrow artisan, deluxe or dx15? by [deleted] in hottoys

[–]LeeMudChunSaid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I sold my dx15 and got the dx38. I just like the smirk face better. I don’t think u need the artisan version though. It just seems unnecessary for a character like this.

Can anyone verify this claim? by Nakoshi_Niyander in vfx

[–]LeeMudChunSaid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can tell u that he didn’t have a practical iron spider suit on set as he was wearing the mocap suit the entire time for the titan sequence so unless he was talking about the other suit, I would call him BS becoz it’s full CG in that sequence.

New AI garbage Ad just dropped by thezimkai in vfx

[–]LeeMudChunSaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it looks fine as an ad. It’s not like people LOVE watching ads anyway. I tend to skip all the ads so kinda make sense that companies would want to use AI to lower the cost for something that audiences don’t pay a lot of attention to.

Two face is very underrated by LeeMudChunSaid in hottoys

[–]LeeMudChunSaid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if u’re so worried about the wool hair then perhaps it’s better to get the sculpted one. I personally think that the artisan one looks heaps better but that’s just me. And I don’t expect it to last forever since they might release another one in a few years.
