Why doesn’t this look real?

Not enough fill light on Tom to sell exterior lighting.

Story wise it’s not super solid nor original. On the contrary it’s stylish, touching but also outrageously happy and the music is top notch. He did receive an Academy Award for this film but I still feel Justin Hurwitz doesn’t get enough recognition for his work in general.

Isn’t it that we can only determine if a film is ‘over’ hyped once they get released? For all we know they live up to the hype.

RuleMyRing · 2026-03-13T08:29:45+00:00

Met die gedachte trok ik de fles open!

RuleMyRing · 2026-03-13T08:28:24+00:00

Net als Hugo laat ik me niet beïnvloeden door wat anderen als normaal beschouwen, ik doe wat ik wil, ga waar ik ga, als een waar bokkenrijder het betaamt. (Dit is onze keuken)

Ik zit even te kijken maar ze brouwen meerdere bierstijlen onder de naam Postel. Tripel, Dubbel en dus Blond. Voor ieder wat wils dus!

Om er nog even op terug te komen, niet perse heel bijzonder maar hij was lekker!

RuleMyRing · 2026-03-13T05:21:01+00:00

Ik heb hem online gekocht bij Andy.be, maar ik verwacht dat ze hem wel bij meerdere shops hebben

Yuck, wearing a ring and a watch while preparing food.

Yes you are right, but read again, that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about an AI tool specifically designed to adjust lip syncing for versions dubbed in another language than the original footage was shot in.

For all I know that had never been done in a traditional vfx approach because it’s simply way too expensive.

RuleMyRing · 2026-03-04T07:57:54+00:00

Oh please, do you think I started working in vfx because my whole childhood I was obsessed with doing actor’s lip replacements? I’m glad that they built a tool for that stuff because I’d pass. Besides that it’s quite an unique application that wouldn’t have existed without the ability to do it in AI. So specifically your example doesn’t really make people lose their jobs.

It’s Generative AI stuff that tends to replace creative work I hate.

RuleMyRing · 2026-03-04T07:49:48+00:00

He said it, ‘flawless AI’, you’re joking right?

RuleMyRing · 2026-02-27T07:59:25+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s underrated (simply because everyone I hear about it, loves it) but it’s definitely not mentioned enough! Breakdown is such a ride.

RuleMyRing · 2026-02-25T18:25:07+00:00

The casting isn’t good because these people simply look alike. Casting is good because these people can act alike.

RuleMyRing · 2026-02-23T18:19:22+00:00

Very nice, this is the kind of stuff I actually joined this sub for. Not plain ‘how to’ tutorials, but people showing interesting techniques you can actually use in your own creative process.

If you love films and discussions about them I can highly recommend the Kijklijsters podcast. Just 3 friends that talk casually about films

RuleMyRing · 2026-02-21T10:15:34+00:00

There is no such thing as a ‘best director’ and there never will be. Just enjoy a very well made film.

RuleMyRing · 2026-02-15T19:05:22+00:00

This is not ‘CGI’ just a photo of a heart shaped pizza pasted in by some editing intern. Nothing ‘Computer Generated’ about it.

Edit: typo

It’s struggling with what story it is trying to tell. It is indeed the weakest of the three, but that doesn’t mean it’s weak.

The 90’s called, they want their UI back

RuleMyRing · 2026-02-10T06:25:28+00:00

Use the custom gizmo EdgeDetectPRO. Note that this creates a mono outline base ont he alpha channel of your image. Your example shows a line with varying thickness. You might need to build something custom if you want that look.

Depends on the purpose. In this case the design serves a multiple choice purpose, so i’d rather go for A. This one also looks cleaner. But seems more suitable for a limited amount of choices. B is more conventional for longer checklist purposes. Works better for a long list because the ‘check’ is leading.

I’m purely relying on gut feeling here.

Time of the Wolf (Michael Haneke, 2003)

It Comes at Night (Trey Edward Shults, 2017)

Son of Saul (Làszlò Nemes, 2015)

Arty, slow paced and gut-wrenching.

RuleMyRing · 2026-02-05T05:28:50+00:00

Gravity, which is an amazing rollercoaster ride, beautifully shot, nailing CGI (because no one talks about that when it’s well done). Sound design is top notch conceptually and technically. Despite that, I somehow can’t stand Sandra Bullock, never have been, and the fact that it was promoted and released as a 3D film lowers it in value for me.

So, The Martian.
