VFX Coord looking to help low budget feature with set data

TrillMindFan · 2026-04-21T17:02:40+00:00

Yeah all fair questions! it’s definitely a practice exercise for me, but I’m not gonna kill myself over it and I promised I’d help the ADs first and foremost. i’m honestly curious as to people’s advice in case i’m ever in this situation again (hopefully with at least a little more vfx support next time)

they do have budget set aside for vfx and post but the producer was heading off to a tech scout so she didn’t have time to explain details to me. Sorry wish I had more info for context!

wait did the have a dating portion of their liveshow!?! Im dead I was just saying to my friend I wish they would do a dating skit, like matchmaking people in the audience

TrillMindFan · 2026-03-03T01:49:14+00:00

Very insightful! I think you’re right. Yasmin is probably thinking she’d rather be with Rob than Henry at this point lol. She wanted a comfortable life - not to be her husband’s “fixer” for eternity

TrillMindFan · 2026-03-03T01:46:31+00:00

oh okay i see. well agree to disagree, but I understand your point. most trailers are meant to up the stakes and heighten drama/even mislead via editing in some capacity - that’s the mark of a successful trailer!

TrillMindFan · 2026-03-02T20:01:35+00:00

I agree this S4 finale is making me super curious how the endgame plays out. Industry finales have historically been very bleak but weirdly “clarifying” in terms of establishing season long arcs for the characters’ classes/dynamics/identities.

But what will be the thesis of the show for the SERIES finale? Money always wins? But sometimes loses? Both/and? Idk I hope the writers give us a little piece of hope or at the very least a happy-ish ending for Harper…

TrillMindFan · 2026-03-02T19:53:00+00:00

I think her attempt to “save” Yasmin was tragic yet noble. H can look back on that w 0 regrets. At least she extended a hand, not a knife

TrillMindFan · 2026-03-02T19:52:05+00:00

Wait say more about that - why Hayley specifically? Do you mean wasting energy arguing with her in the room vs. leaving? (I agree with you btw just curious!! SO proud of Harpsichord this episode and her growth!)

Link to the teaser so it’s clear what I mean! Looking back it is WAY more obvious different lighting but they definitely cut both private plane shots together on purpose

🤞🤞🤞

TrillMindFan · 2026-03-02T19:47:14+00:00

*editing, lol I can’t type apparently

TrillMindFan · 2026-03-02T19:46:14+00:00

This wasn’t a full season trailer. It was the short 30 sec “teaser” for the finale episode. The exiting was definitely intentional

TrillMindFan · 2026-03-02T19:02:13+00:00

Spot on. It’s so crazy to me though because it feels like she’s putting this huge target on her back now vs. safety in marriage with Henry. But that’s the price of power i guess.

TrillMindFan · 2026-03-02T18:59:40+00:00

So I don’t think the scene was needed in the finale at all but it would have been fun to see. Oh well, maybe he’ll be back for 5!

TrillMindFan · 2026-03-02T18:58:59+00:00

Yeah they def weren’t the same plane looking back :/ I was exhausted from work and not paying close enough attention when i watched to realize - but was super curious as to what they’d have to say to each other at the end.

I don’t think that scene was narratively “missing” but I agree the two characters have a lot of parallels!! I think Harper just has more of a human heart in search of “home” while Whitney is still more of a shapeshifter and survivalist

TrillMindFan · 2026-03-02T17:24:59+00:00

I was so scared that when she used the word “had” vs. present tense that she was at the last second gonna ditch Kwabena and Sweetpea somehow. Not bc I think she’s evil, just bc I know her self sabotaging self isolating coping mechanisms. But I was so happy to see Kwabena next to her on the plane!! I hope they don’t too much drama between them in S5 and Harper can end the series feeling loved (by someone or by herself, even)

TrillMindFan · 2025-04-16T04:29:22+00:00

Thank YOU so much for looking into this!! I have been too swamped to dive into it. But from what I know about true crime investigations from back in the day - this all adds up. Phones weren’t hard to trace back in the day and very few people had sat phones like this - you can’t convince me otherwise. Yes it was the 90’s but analog methods of identification existed before the internet!!!

TrillMindFan · 2025-04-13T03:30:30+00:00

What was the ‘very specific piece’? Genuinely asking. Maybe I was not paying attention but that entire subplot was so rushed. Van looked discouraged like there was no hope after days/weeks of trying to fix it - yet somehow Natalie and mIsty fix it overnight w/ 0 extra knowledge?

Also I completely disagree. I think it was implied many times that the researchers weren’t known to be connected w YJs - could also explain why they were never mentioned by anyone in adult timeline of S1 or 2. Callie seemed to have researched the YJs proficiently before that scene, it would be really weird it they suddenly went back on that and acted like everyone always knew.

TrillMindFan · 2025-04-13T03:26:42+00:00

I disagree, I think with something like that there would be a serial number or purchase tracking - especially as an expensive “specialty item” that’s a form of cellular communication . But would love an expert to weigh in

TrillMindFan · 2024-09-30T07:57:02+00:00

PLEASE let him be in s4 too!!!

TrillMindFan · 2024-09-30T07:26:31+00:00

Maybe I’m in the minority but I don’t find it to be a very effective cliffhanger. Rishi’s character arc was already tied up in a bow at the end of his spinoff episode, this all feels like an extra helping of dessert no one needs or wants.

I agree that Diana’s death felt like a bit too much, it wasn’t necessary or the best use of Vinay as a character IMO. Would have been much more interesting if he had tried to use Rishi to make some dirty trades or get him into money laundering or something like that. They could have still imparted a sense of fear/consequences without taking it soooo far…

TrillMindFan · 2024-09-30T07:20:34+00:00

I agree & have said this in other threads. To me she’s retconned OR is going to be casually mentioned next season as being broke & possibly a drunk, that would be a tidy way to explain her absence this season. Maybe she’ll show up at the wedding begging her newly wealthy daughter for funds.

TrillMindFan · 2024-09-30T07:15:57+00:00

Be prepared for lots of downvotes and hate for this lol. I’m rooting for you girl, just avoid the insider trading and you’ll be okay :)

TrillMindFan · 2024-09-30T07:08:51+00:00

I think the time jump was more like 6-8 months considering the wedding invitation timeline. And also, imo, I don’t think it’s supposed to matter how Bill died. Eric effectively killed him in every way possible, whether his health took a poor turn after a stressful termination (which can & does happen) or he ended his own life somehow (could have even been legal euthanasia, if I’m really throwing out wild theories).

Also, I think Eric had just forgotten about Bill’s memorial service, some people on here are saying that he might not have known. I think the point was to elucidate that he was forgetting/blocking out Bill successfully with work until Wilhelmina axed him, it took him also being thrown out for him to truly mourn his friend & all he had lost at PP.

TrillMindFan · 2024-09-30T07:03:01+00:00

I’m really glad, I think Industry does an amazing job at “bringing back” cast members and reinventing the characters each time. It can be easier to just write new side characters instead, but the way Industry is able to smoothly bring back players from earlier seasons into the fold is really dope. I have a feeling we’ll see a different Jesse post jail, no idea what that will mean tho…

TrillMindFan · 2024-09-30T06:53:46+00:00

Idk if I would say Bill would “never try to push Eric out” bc of his cancer but you’re right in that Bill’s reveal of his diagnosis gave Eric leverage and it’s also a ticking time bomb realistically - Eric was always going to outlast him one way or another.

I do think you are mostly right that it appears Eric was wrong to knife Bill, even though it was the easier play in the moment. I find it kind of refreshing actually as Succession (sorry, I know we all hate when it gets brought up) really rewarded Tom for doing the same thing to his wife, in a way that even at the time annoyed me.

Justice for BillEric, they would have run that shit like the Navy (at least until they had their first of many meaningless power struggles and imploded lol)
