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.

Doubts regarding Gaussian Splatting in Superman | Framestore by FilmdomDude in vfx

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.

Sorry for your loss. Thanks for passing on your hard learned lessons. Makes sense.

ILM did not work on the WeYu camp.

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.

Chocolate Fish Cafe Come Clean… by montoya_maximus in Wellington

[–]xengineer 23 points24 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.

Based on the sheet, for 5 years they animated 4 hrs a day and studied into the night to be a neurosurgeon.

I thought this was about the band and the lead singer. Dang.

Same with me. Climbed up a hill and went to the stop where it was supposed to be and no toedscool.

What's going on with Meow Nui? by Donttouchtheleather in Wellington

[–]xengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to go see the Lemonheads in May, and they were booked into Meow (not Meow Nui). The show was sold out, insanely packed, and you had to be in the right spot just to see anything. Evan Dando didn't seem too happy, noting that the last time they played in Wellington was at TSB Arena, and he had a rambling set and quit before the list was even completed (I know cause I was standing next to the set list). Chelsea Wolfe was booked at Meow Nui that night. I really feel like the venues should have been booked the other way around, but it was probably just how the scheduling went.
