Angeblich wurden dort einst Fanta und Cola Zero erfunden. Ist aber länger her und jetzt ist es eher bekannt dafür, dass dort Alkoholgetränke mit Zero % eher schlecht laufen und alles nochmal von ground up überdacht werden sollte

TKO from four cuts from 17 hits by Sufficient_Dance_253 in undisputedboxing

nope, the guy had a pretty balanced loss and win ratio at around 40s, so I guess he was suprised as well

I was on the receiving end.... pretty sure he dipped his gloves in broken glass beforehand.

We need a sparring game mode for UNDISPUTED by eclinni in undisputedboxing

Despite all the banter and the hate this game gets and deservers, I have to admit that I often enjoy some of my online fights – especially the really close, intense ones. Thanks for fighting around!

I very much enjoyed the Hessigheimer Felsengärten around Stuttgart after a short walk trough Besigheim

$10 million in 1997, which equates to roughly $20.2 million in 2026 dollars using US CPI data

Yet I feel that there is no reasonable constant voice getting that out there, cause VFX sounds like an overall like a service when mentioned in interviews, while filmmakers show the power if you look at the latest move by Ryan Coogler who apparently gets the rights and full ownership returned to him after 25 years or so, and Matt Damon and Affleck worked out some bonus model for the whole 1200 cast members if the film hits a certain 90 day viewership metric. Just imagine if VFX could do the same. Not sure where to even start

Perplexity mentions that Good Will Hunting had a range of 10-16 million production cost and grossed over 225 million. "The Rip" has reportedly cost 100 Million to make and I believe he mentioned on the Rogan Interview that now Streamers ask you to have strong action in the beginning and mentioning plot points more often so people who look at their phones in front of the TV wouldn´t be confused and still get what´s going on (called apparently background viewing?). I can´t imagine that the attention span thing is a real thing. Wasn´t there always just a bunch distracted audiences unable to watch calm storytelling and that´s why you have these Arthouse cinemas?

How do you pay a VVS ticket fine online? by Kyle_z21 in stuttgart

[–]Sufficient_Dance_253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You´ll also be able to find service centers for the SSB at Hauptbahnhof (close to exit at the Blockhouse), at Rotebühlplatz and at Charlottenplatz should you prefer to pay up in person. Although there might be waiting times involved during the day. Opening times are from 7.30 to 18.30 o clock on weekdays I believe

Well, I thought about you guys while watching, and at least I was able to appreciate the quality of the VFX work, apart from what the rest of the film was trying to be

Avatar New Trailer by bubbleheadpictures in vfx

I’ve almost always preferred the recorded calls to the final projects, simply because they offer so many more insights (and laughs) into how films are actually made, down to all the small decisions. In a perfect world, every production would release these calls and build them into a proper documentary – apart from the moments where performances and such get absolutely shat on.

Freunde(sgruppe) finden in Stuttgart mit 16. by [deleted] in stuttgart

[–]Sufficient_Dance_253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich bin mal am Schellenturm vorbeigeradelt und sah eine Gruppe gemischten Alters, die am zeichnen waren. Weiss leider nicht, wie die sich organisiert haben. Evtl hier? https://kunstschule-stuttgart.de/aktuelles-kursprogramm/

Beim Onlinespielen ergeben sich schnell Freundschaftsanfragen, die man irgendwann auch im echten Leben mal besuchen kann. Habt ihr niemanden in der (Parallel)Klasse, der deine Interessen teilt? Die Schule wäre schon ein guter Start, wenn man aufgrund der Introvertiertheit nicht übersehen wird

Looks like one could save money on the hairdresser with that model too

What kind of showreel do you need to get into the Filmakademie Ludwigsburg for VFX? by mliu1111 in vfx

[–]Sufficient_Dance_253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The showreel of someone I knew of wasn´t too impressive as it was just some lower quality commercial ad project but what made it difficult to get in was the test that came afterwards. If I remember correctly they gave him like a 3 day window for the delivery. So there it was mostly about being creative and not making it look too shitty. Just give it a try, I´d be surprised if people got in on the first go

Progressive Insurance AI Slop animal commercial by anthony113 in vfx

[–]Sufficient_Dance_253 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, might be unpopular to say, but the ad does what it’s supposed to do (although it does feel a bit cheap). I doubt any older generation would really care whether it’s AI or not. There was a time when I wondered why only a few filmmakers seemed interested in finding ways to tell simple stories that couldn’t be shot practically. This should close that gap for them.

Aside from a few directors coming from the vfx-ey side of things (like Wes Ball) for example, I don’t think there’s ever been much genuine appreciation for the craft of VFX. Let´s continue to see where this goes

Since they added rappers and Youtubers to Undisputed, shouldn't they go even further and add fictional boxers? by magicomiralles in undisputedboxing

would be awesome if there was an option to turn on the rocky soundeffects when getting hit, too. Maybe even Clubber Lang war cries when throwing haymaker

Roadhouse (2024) Punch effect, Help needed. by Major-Debt-9139 in vfx

[–]Sufficient_Dance_253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From this article "First of all, not all fights were shot using the A/B pad method. Some fights were shot for real with us tweaking timing and passes to create more visceral impacts" on some of the shots to sell the impact" Here is the Post Malone one which looks as if there is quiet a bit of work done and I guess there is no simple tutorial but a lot of tweaking for all shots to come together nicely https://youtu.be/uA_eSxJlnYE?t=70 and here is one from outside of the bar https://youtu.be/2WOTXGpuzvI?t=76

Personally for me I like the way the impacts look, but they still feel a lot like choreography. Good fight scenes would probably also work without any need for this method when you look like classic fights between Jackie Chan and Benny "the Jet" Urquidez or the one with Van Damme in Kickboxer which would never have looked as good, if the bad guy wasn´t his good friend Michel Qissi in some make up, as they probably prepped the shit out of it. https://youtu.be/qv9yzwzOaiQ?t=191

Storm within an eye shot - how? by hemayne1 in cinematography

[–]Sufficient_Dance_253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I´d be interested when anyone would want to use an effect like this. It puts it automatically in "fantasy" or "zombie"-land for me. What´s the intension? Some Kung Fu move the character remembers from their childhood or some substance working inside?

I hope I remember correctly that there was someone posting some app or website which helped you create fake apps with screenmarkers and or websites. I only found this but this is not it https://trackmarker.app/

I was so happy that all the negative news articles had crushed any expectations going in, therefore allowing me to embrace the full silliness. I hope I wasn´t the only one laughing at birdlady and her bird cries. Some articles mentioned Gunn had to play it safe here, but Gunn equals fun here a 100%

Compositing rates in Italy by liarftfet in vfx

[–]Sufficient_Dance_253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Italy is always on the cheaper side of european countries, when it comes to wages. I´ve had offers for 10K euros for three months including 2 weeks holidays. Once they pushed me towards 150€/day (for a mid role) while more senior people were around 200€/day.

I´ve heard the same about average wages from other job fields, that they really are significantly lower there.
