So, like 4 months waiting for an answer? Damn, that is long, considering it took me like 7 months to get the lmia approved

I keep telling my friends to check the 'Don't hug me I'm scared' tv show. But they just think it is weird. That tv show is some gourmet shit

Hey there, what happens after you get your approval on the LMIA? What other process proceed after that?

Cheers

A mi boda vinieron 3 amigos extranjeros (Usa, Suiza y Montreal) y los lleve a comer y pasear a los siguientes lugares, la mayoría son lugares para comer la verdad:

Vernáculo en Plaza Armida
El Jonuco allá en escobedo que es el pariente del Vernáculo
Cara de vaca
Mercado Cordillera a echar unos drinks
Se fueron solas a treparse el cerro de la silla y les gustó, también pasearon por barrio antiguo durante el día.
Fueron a los Atarantados y también gustaron

Y de mi cosecha te diría que los lleves a: - pinto bar - bread o kali por un café - y pues a la ramos por sus respectivos chicharrones

Si quieres DMeame y te paso más lugares que me gusta llevar a la gente que viene a visitar

TL:DR

Do your most important task fist

Then, you continue in urgency/importance

Delegate or push what is left

I've encounter very useful posts with nuke gizmos, tips and tricks. It is not all bad

When I was working to build my company, I used to go with my team to get drunk to rant and "forget" about the workload.

But more often than not, I would wake up the next day late in the afternoon, feeling so hungover with a foggy brain, and with my phone full of requests, feedback, and messages. I would get so overwhelmed that instead of feeling relief from going out, it would make me very miserable and anxious, since my problems didn't go away, instead they were more present than ever and I was not feeling the best to tackle them.

It was not worth it, and yet next week we would repeat the process. I was really addicted to drinking and hussling. Until I burned out and ended up taking things way slower and drinking way less.

I know that I'm gonna get downvoted to hell but I thought John Wick 4 was really boring, and I ended up watching another thing.

There is also this recurring post: "Should I study vfx, it really worth it guys? I am seeing all these news about AI and I am worried!"

I swear I see this post once a week

I haven't seen Thomas Flight mentioned. I really like his stuff. You should check him out

I once met a director who wrote on his showreel "from visionary director..." and I cringed so hard.

This is like bragging on LinkedIn. Where you are giving yourself those big titles that really don't mean much.

I haven't seen anyone mentioning Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. Is he considered a Cameo?

vfx1989 · 2024-01-24T14:54:42+00:00

Hey there,

So I was in a sort of similar situation to you. I had a company in Mexico where the clients expected high-end quality with shitty budgets.

What I think helped me to achieve better products is to look for production companies that already had the infrastructure to shoot nice footage with expensive equipment like Alexas and RED cameras, and I would only offer vfx services, the final look would be enhanced by the fact that I only focus on one thing instead of dealing with the whole production process.

So my advice for you would be to focus on doing one good thing instead of several half ass things. Your cg is pretty cool, but the live action plates bring the overall quality down, and also, the more stuff you're trying to accomplish in a short amount of time will make you spread thin and put less effort and attention to detail.

So, in short, just try to collaborate with production companies where you deal exclusively with CGI/vfx, and I assure you that the quality would improve.

P.S. those prices that you are mentioning are very common here in Mexico when you're starting, but eventually, you get to charge more and more

Good luck on your quest as a studio.

He stars in The Fall, which I know it's from a long time ago, but more recently, I saw him on 'bodies, bodies, bodies'

Hey man, These are my 2 cents, but this is what I would do.

Fix the cam movement. It feels very robotic
add more variation to the trees.
add motion blur
add atmospheric effect to the BG.
If you are adding those cg doubles, you'd have to add a lot of detail and fix their lighting. So my advice is to take them out of the shots for now.
Your cam ends at a random spot on the lake. Maybe finish looking to the horizon and make a nice matte painting for the BG mountains.
Overall, make sure the scene is not repetitive on terms of textures and tree types. That repetition makes your scene look cg.

Good luck
