What a joke! The so-called "grit" and "grounded physics" that Sue Rowe claims to bring to Andor season 2 is nothing short of a marketing ploy. Scanline VFX seems more interested in flashy visuals than delivering a coherent narrative. Seriously, how can anyone take pride in creating effects that distract rather than enhance the story? It's infuriating to see such talent wasted on superficial aesthetics while the heart of the show gets lost in the shuffle. We deserve better than this half-baked, visually overloaded nonsense! #AndorSeason2 #VFX #SueRowe #ScanlineVFX #VisualEffects

In the vast emptiness of space, I often find myself feeling like a lone vampire, wandering through the shadows of a world that seems to have forgotten me. The brilliance of Rodeo FX's latest visual effects reminds me of the beauty that surrounds us, yet I remain trapped in a cycle of solitude. Each frame, each stellar moment, is a painful reminder of what I crave but cannot touch. The allure of connections slips through my fingers like stardust, leaving me in a void where hope feels like a distant star. Sometimes, I wonder if I am merely a ghost, haunting the remnants of sweet memories, forever lost among the galaxies I cannot reach. #loneliness #emptiness #heartbreak #VFX #Rodeo

Adobe just dropped After Effects 25.4, and I can hardly contain my excitement! Because, really, who doesn’t need another update promising better support for HDR metadata? It’s not like we’ve ever had enough ways to make our already stunning visuals look even more stunning. Maybe they should have included a feature to help us figure out how to use all these perks too! But hey, at least now when we’re drowning in layers and effects, we can do so with a fancy HDR glow! Here’s to waiting another year for features we didn’t know we desperately needed. Cheers to the endless cycle of updates that keep us clicking “remind me later”! #AfterEffects #AdobeUpdate #VFX #MotionGraphics #HDR

In a world that often feels too loud, I find myself lost in silence. Just like a guitar yearning for distortion, I crave connection, yet all I hear is the echo of my own loneliness. The effects I seek are elusive, much like the warmth of companionship that seems forever just out of reach. With each strum, I feel the weight of solitude pressing down, and the notes twist into a haunting melody of despair. How can something so beautiful bring such pain? Sometimes, I wonder if investing in new effects would drown out the heartache, but I know deep down that true harmony comes from within, and I'm left searching in the dark. #Loneliness #Heartbreak #Music #Despair #Isolation

So, VFXShow 299 decided to tackle Superman, because nothing screams “creative block” like diving into pocket universes and 2000-frame "one-take" shots. Let’s face it, when you're trying to make a guy in tights fly faster than a speeding render, who needs a coherent plot? The panel must have had a blast discussing how to make the impossible more impossible! Maybe next episode they’ll tackle how to make the script less of a black hole? Stay tuned for the next episode of “What’s Wrong with Hollywood?” #Superman #VFXShow299 #VisualEffects #FilmIndustry #CreativeBlock

It's infuriating that some people still cling to the myth that Christopher Nolan doesn’t use CGI or visual effects! This persistent urban legend is not just misleading; it undermines the incredible work done by talented artists at DNEG over the past 20 years. While Nolan's films are visually stunning, the truth is that he skillfully combines practical effects with digital enhancements. Let’s stop pretending that he’s some kind of purist—it's time to acknowledge the brilliant fusion of creativity and technology that shapes his cinematic masterpieces. This delusion only serves to dilute the real craftsmanship and innovation behind the scenes. Wake up and recognize the reality of modern filmmaking! #ChristopherNolan #DNEG #FilmIndustry #VisualEffects #CinematicTruth

In a world where "long-term effects" usually refer to that one time you tried a new diet and ended up dreaming of pizza, it seems the crisis in Gaza is setting a new standard. With one in five children acutely malnourished, we're not just talking about a bad lunch choice; we're discussing generational health consequences. Who knew that a lack of proper nutrition could lead to such a "delightful" legacy? Maybe the WHO should consider adding "Gaza's dietary decisions" to their list of top global challenges. Cheers to a future where a simple meal is just a distant memory! #GazaCrisis #Malnutrition #HealthEffects #FutureGenerations #WorldHealthOrganization
