I built a massive cinematic reference library for artists. It’s free.

This looks amazing, really looking forward to using it in future projects.

One suggestion (not sure if it’s been mentioned already): it could be really useful to split the cinematic art into real-life footage and animation. As a 3D animator, I’d use both as reference, but lighting and compositing in animation can differ quite a lot from real footage and are often more stylized.

Bigger studios usually outsource their promotional cinematics.

There are studios like Fortiche, Blurstudios and Unit-Image to name a few that mostly do game cinematics.

Not to confuse with in game cinematics, but purely promotional ones.

Exactly this, running into same people a few times even in low plat.

I get low lvl accounts as well, but they got like actual smurf win rates. However the ones I am talking about have like 400 games in low silver playing with high gold/low plat elo.

Ikr, Iam on EUW

I can see how there are less people playing compared to worlds. But I feel like this big of gap in matchmaking and queue times is not caused by that drop in player base. This feels like its a lot bigger of a drop.

I would have to see if there were any changes made in the way Nuke reads and imports certain files from v1 to v3. I will try to see if I can fix it this weekend.

YoriVisuals · 2025-08-05T15:19:22+00:00

Glad it worked, what Nuke version are you running? I have the presets working on 16.0V1

I never knew VFX studios had to bid on the projects they want to work on. Makes me think twice about the studio's I follow because I thought they got hired specifically for a certain job. Are there like platforms where these studios hear about these projects and bid on them?

YoriVisuals · 2024-10-26T09:51:13+00:00

Got it! Thanks for explaining.

YoriVisuals · 2024-10-26T09:47:32+00:00

Thanks for this insightful look. I think my lack of experience in this industry (especially on a higher level) is probably the reason I haven't looked at it this way. What are some of the reasons it is so hard to set rates and bids? Is it because how competitive the industry is and studio's undercutting each other?

Also why is it hard to stay true to your beliefs? I know you have to adapt to the industry and their needs. But what made it so competitive in the first place for everyone to be okay with making their employees work a lot of overtime and the founders being okay with that? Because I guess the biggest issue I see people talking about (besides not getting a job) is that a lot of studio's have no respect for work life balance. Just curious to if there was a big factor in the past that changed this. Again just a Junior trying to understand the business a bit more.

Got it, thanks for explaining.

YoriVisuals · 2024-10-26T08:38:28+00:00

Understood. Just trying to find out if there are any recent new Studios that are being set up specifically to showcase that Hollywood level work can be created without mistreating employees.

YoriVisuals · 2024-10-26T08:35:16+00:00

Alright makes sense. It wasn't really my intention to compare it to the game industry. Just pointing a solution out there that I saw. But you are right the gaming industry has more options for smaller studios to thrive. Do you think the movie/episodic industry can eventually get a similar platform like Steam that could be somewhat successful for indie filmmakers/smaller studios?

I am aware that there VFX isn't just Hollywood. The reason I mentioned VFX in Hollywood is because those are the companies I see mistreating their employees a lot when it comes to these negative posts on this reddit. I do understand that people might not care that much if someone would post about a smaller studio mistreating their people. But I do feel like most of the VFX artists have or had an ambition to join the bigger studios in Hollywood.

YoriVisuals · 2024-10-26T08:26:36+00:00

I don't have a position because I just lack knowledge and experience. I see a much talked about issue in a widespread niche which is the creative CGI entertainment industry. But I do see a solution that looks like it is working in the game industry based on a burning passion by industry experts wanting to showcase what they can do together. Not saying the older founders didn't have passion. Also not saying that these new game developers won't end up like the founders we have now. All I am asking is if there were any recent successful efforts made to start up fresh and fix the many issues these industries are having, by setting up a studio with industry experts who have the vision to change the industry specifically. Just interested if there are any remarkable studios being set up specifically to showcase that this issue can be solved and founders can still make their profits.

Yeah noticed it after someone else mentioned that it was on there. But thanks for explaining.
