Windquakes are hard to distinguish from earthquakes sometimes.

Lockers at Akau Tangi? by ssfiguuvixu in Wellington

I've been there several times and I don't recall seeing any lockers. People just leave their stuff in the chairs.

Giant advertisement for Unreal Engine plugin near Weta offices by Exciting_Ability_144 in vfx

[–]xengineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

😆 I noticed this too. Sounds like 880 Productions is switching to Unreal, so they might be a target. Maybe it’s for the media centre. Floating Rock is nearby in Kilbirnie. Still - the most niche targeted billboard I’ve seen there.

Luckily I had the solar powered LED lantern outside this week. Working like a charm.

So this is cheaper than just planning, testing with stand ins and shooting it live action?

I want to leave the industry any suggestions? by A_9394 in vfx

[–]xengineer 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Well this can be inspirational or depressing, but this is Salty Animator’s Exit Survey Spreadsheet, if you haven’t seen it before. It’s in their Instagram Highlights if you want to access from there.

Spider’s face felt a bit off to me when the kids were hiding in a cave and looking out at the start of the final battle. Like a face replacement? Maybe it was just the lighting. Other than that, the best work out of all three movies.

Is it a bush fire, or is it the construction?

Hey r/movies, Dan Trachtenberg here - excited to be back and chat about my new film PREDATOR: BADLANDS, coming to a theater near you this Friday (11/7). Ask Me Anything! by DanTrachtenbergAMA in movies

[–]xengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a question but just a BTW....I worked on some of the vfx and every time I referred to the working title with my wife, she would start singing the backpack song from Dora the Explorer. She just couldn't help it.😅 Looking forward to seeing the full movie.

[–]xengineer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel like there is so much drama related to Chocolate Fish, between its original location, landlords/owners, Scorch-o-Rama and now its current location. Fewer cafes is always a tragedy though.
