Plus, the challenge of realizing the color RED on screen.Today on the befores & afters podcast, Im joined by Wt FX VFX supervisor Dan Cox and animation supervisor Sidney Kombo-Kintombo, who break down in a lot of detail all the challenges in bringing Red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World to life. A couple of really interesting things they mention include the fact that Wt FX actually took the original Marvel design for Red Hulk and re-modeled and sculpted it to have more Harrison Ford traits, especially the eyes. Wt FX had to find ways to distinguish between previous versions of the green Hulk from past films where that character was like a gorilla, their red Hulk was originally more like a bear, and then a honey badger in how relentless it became.It was also the first time Ford has ever done some motion capture on a film, although ultimately the red Hulk was one of the most keyframed characters done in a long time at the studio. Wt FX looked to a real bodybuilder brought in for reference to see specifically how the muscles would move. It was the first film in which the VFX studio used its Loki state machine for muscle simulation. They also built a new muscle set for their generic gen-man to accommodate more define muscle fibers. The result was a lot of detail and a lot less shot-sculpting only around 7% of the final shots.Another fun thing the pair share is about transformations of Harrison Fords character into red Hulk Weta FX developed all kinds different approaches include breaking bones and skinjust in case they were needed in the film, although it was ultimately a little more subtle than that. Finally we talk about the challenges of realizing a red character on screen, even to the point of giving accurate red color details to Legacy Effects which made a reference bust of red Hulk for shooting.Check out the podcast above, and this progression of images showcasing the work.Click to view slideshow.The post Wt FX used its Loki state machine for muscle simulations on Red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World appeared first on befores & afters.

Influencers, how many late payments are you waiting on? Odds are, more than one.Influencer marketing is a booming $10 billion industry, but for creators, inconsistent cash flow remains a major pain point. Brand budgets shift, campaign timelines change, and payments can take months to land. For many influencers who rely on brand deals as their main source of income, financial instability is the norm. According to the Wall Street Journal, fewer than 13% of online influencers earned more than $100,000 last yearwhile nearly half made $15,000 or less.A fintech startup called Alchemy wants to change that. Founded by Isaac Wagschal, the company has launched a $100 million fund to provide creators with upfront payments based on projected future income. Since January, Alchemy has already distributed millions.Growing as a creator takes time, money, and the right opportunities landing in your inbox. But unpredictable income is one of the biggest obstacles to scaling. Some months bring multiple sponsorships; others are completely dry. And while traditional financial institutions are slowly warming to the creator economy, access to capital remains limitedespecially for creators still building their brands. (If youve ever tried asking a bank for a loan as a freelancer, you get it.)Alchemys approach is different. It looks at an influencers full income streambrand deals, Patreon, AdSense, and morethen uses the past six months of earnings to project the next six. Based on that, Alchemy prepurchases a portion of the creators expected revenue, providing a lump-sum payment upfront. A flat fee, typically around 1.15 times the amount advanced, is added.Say a creator is projected to earn $100,000 in the next six months. Alchemy might advance $30,000 by purchasing 30% of that income. When the full $100,000 eventually comes inwhether it takes six months or a yearAlchemy collects its 30%, plus a $4,500 fee. Theres no loan, no interest, and no fixed repayment schedule. If a creator underperforms, Alchemy takes the hit.To streamline the process, Alchemy is partnering with top creator agencies, managers, and influencer platforms to embed its financial tools directly into brand deal workflows. The goal: make upfront payments the industry norm.The creator economy is booming, yet too many influencers are stuck waiting months for sponsorships and delayed payments to clear, Wagschal said in a press release. Creators should have financial access that matches the speed of the digital world.

An Orthodox Jewish passenger says a United Airlines pilot forcibly removed him from an airplane bathroom while he was experiencing constipation, exposing his genitalia to other flyers during a flight from Tulum, Mexico, to Houston.Yisroel Liebb, of New Jersey, described his trip through allegedly unfriendly skies in a federal lawsuit this week against the airline and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, whose officers he said boarded the plane upon landing and took him away in handcuffs.Liebb and a fellow Orthodox Jewish traveler said the pilot made disparaging remarks about their faith. They said they were forced to miss a connecting flight to New York City while U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers paraded them through an airport terminal, placed them in holding cells, and searched their luggage.CBP Officers responded to reports of a disturbance on a flight at the request of the airline, CBP Assistant Commissioner for Public Affairs Hilton Beckham said. Due to the ongoing litigation, we are unable to provide any further comment.United Airlines declined to comment. Messages seeking comment were left for a lawyer representing Liebb and the other traveler, Jacob Sebbag.In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Manhattan federal court, Liebb said he was in the bathroom in the back of the plane for about 20 minutes on January 28 when a flight attendant woke Sebbag from a nap and asked Sebbag to check on him.Liebb said he explained his gastrointestinal predicament and assured Sebbag that he would be out soon. Sebbag then relayed that to the flight attendant, the lawsuit says.About 10 minutes later, with Liebb still indisposed, the pilot approached Sebbag and asked him to check on Liebb, the lawsuit says. The pilot then yelled at Liebb to leave the bathroom immediately, the lawsuit says.Liebb said he told the pilot that he was finishing up and would be out momentarily.The pilot responded by breaking the lock, forcing the bathroom door open, and pulling Liebb out with his pants still around his ankles, exposing his genitalia to Sebbag, flight attendants, and nearby passengers, according to the lawsuit.Liebb and Sebbag said the pilot then pushed them back to their seats while threatening to have them arrested and making remarks about their faith and how Jews act.After the two-hour flight landed in Houston, the men said about a half-dozen Customs and Border Protection officers boarded and escorted them off the plane.Liebb said when he asked why they were being detained, an officer tightened his handcuffs and responded: This isnt county or state. We are Homeland. You have no rights here.The men said United booked them on a flight to New York City the next day for free, but any savings from the complementary tickets were lost because they had to pay for an overnight hotel stay and food during their delay.Michael R.
