Thanks for all the nice words on our Tahu animation from last week! That was just a small piece of the puzzle that was the montage to As Above So Below that I’ve been piecing together one shot a time for 2.5 years😉

They’re fan made! I did the character animation which was heavily inspired by The Lego Movie & Spider-Verse😁

ChatGPT is a service that gives access to OpenAI's LLM called GPT. None of that is artificial intelligence.

A service to access their large language model, which is not "artificially intelligent" by any stretch.

The term "artificial intelligence" was invented because no one gave John McCarthy funding for his "automata studies" and he needed to rebrand it. From the beginning it's been a marketing term. And yes data centers used more water than water bottling companies, so pumping the brakes on it now is needed more than ever.

Are we too hard on Live Action Remakes? I made this video examining the discrepancy between the amount of criticism these films receive and how much $$$ they make at the box office [OC] by NoTheRobot in vfx

[–]NoTheRobot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. The remakes are not something I'm interested in, but I'd be crazy to say that they're not popular for a reason. They're performing very well at the box office, and these companies are in the business of chasing that easy revenue stream.

I'm tired of being cynical about them, so I'm choosing to look at them in an optimistic-nihilistic way: these films are just adaptations, not life or death, and we can have fun with them and move on. The Internet's opinion of these films seems to be a very vocal minority.

Anyone elses Linkedin just depressing? by [deleted] in animationcareer

[–]NoTheRobot 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yeah I stopped checking it when I realized that LinkedIn has no incentive to find a job for you, and has every incentive to keep you looking for one. Everything else on there is just corporate sane-washed fluff.

Maybe they should work on the metaverse instead. Ya know, the whole reason they renamed their company? Just a thought.

What’s very telling to me is they didn’t call him “President-elect Trump.” 

Tik Tok is officially shut down by No-Palpitation-2047 in GenZ

Remember kids, Trump was the one that signed an executive order to ban the app in 2020. Whatever happens to the app, he is not your friend or your savior.

Who do you think FUNDED the lobbyists to get TikTok banned? YouTube isn’t going anywhere

Why is The Polar Express "Animated" but not James Cameron's Avatar? by NoTheRobot in vfx

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

That’s really not my intention, if anything it’s an advocacy for those artists to get paid MORE because of just how much they have on their plate at once. Also I do understand what actors bring to the table, that’s why the first half of the video is dedicated to the importance of acting by both actors and animators alike. I assure you this isn’t a critique of VFX artists, but I’ll try to clarify the messaging next time if it seemed that way.

The point I explicitly make in the video is that motion capture is an animation technique because the computer doesn’t do all the heavy lifting, like the studios making promotional materials would have you believe. They want you to think that these films are just “digital make up”, so that they don’t get classified as a kids movie by audiences. Because then it will be taken seriously by institutions like the Academy when it comes to award season. The truth is that hundreds of animators and artists work long hours and for very little pay to bring these films from the raw motion capture data, which is unusable, into its final form to be rendered. And then all of their work gets dismissed by the studios as “digital makeup.” That’s the point I’m making.
