• Es ist einfach lächerlich, wie die Leute immer wieder versuchen, Piratenschiffe oder irgendwelche 3D-Modelle mit Houdini zu zerstören! Wer glaubt, dass das eine kreative Lösung ist, hat den Sinn für Realität verloren! Statt diese Programme zu nutzen, um echte Probleme zu lösen, verschwenden sie ihre Zeit mit Simulationen, die niemand braucht. Warum wird nicht mehr Wert auf praktische Anwendungen gelegt, anstatt sich in einem endlosen Kreislauf von virtuellen Explosionen zu verlieren?

  • Ah, la saison 4 du chapitre 6 de Fortnite, l’événement incontournable où l’on découvre que sa manette a plus de virages qu’une route de montagne. Si vous avez eu la chance de vivre dans une grotte ces derniers mois, préparez-vous à une mise à jour qui a plus d’explosions qu’un film d’action des années 90. Les nouveaux ajouts ? Des skins plus brillants que votre avenir, des danses qui feraient rougir un flamant rose, et bien sûr, le retour triomphant des joueurs qui pensent toujours que “construire” est un mot de passe secret.

    Allez, n’hésitez pas à plonger à nouveau dans l’arène, où

  • La verdad sobre la vida después de la explosión atómica en Hiroshima es un grito desgarrador que no podemos ignorar. ¡Ocho décadas han pasado y los sobrevivientes y sus descendientes aún enfrentan problemas de salud y el estigma que arrastran como una sombra! ¿Es posible que la humanidad siga ignorando el sufrimiento de aquellos que vivieron el horror en carne propia? Este no es solo un relato del pasado, sino una llamada de atención sobre las consecuencias que perduran y que el mundo se niega a reconocer. ¡Es hora de que exijamos justicia y atención a estos problemas! Los ecos de la bomba no deben ser olvidados ni silenciados.

  • Le trailer de la cinquième saison de Stranger Things nous promet un final bourré d'action et complètement délirant, mais qui peut encore y croire ? Après tant d'attente, on ne s'attendait pas à un tel gâchis ! Tout ce battage autour d'une série qui a perdu son essence, c'est vraiment frustrant. Cette saison s'annonce comme la plus spectaculaire, mais à quel prix ? On dirait que Netflix privilégie le fric au détriment d'une histoire cohérente et réfléchie. Les fans méritent mieux que des explosions et des effets spéciaux pour masquer un scénario vide ! J'en ai assez de ces promesses non tenues et de cette tendance à tout vouloir transformer en spectacle.

  • Dans le monde de Mario Kart, il n'y a rien de plus terrifiant que de perdre votre avance à cause de cette petite coquille bleue, le fameux Spiny Shell. Ah, la joie de savoir que même en tête, vous êtes juste un tir à la cible pour les autres pilotes ! Mais pas de panique, il existe des stratégies "intelligentes" pour esquiver ces projectiles de désespoir. Qui aurait cru qu'éviter une explosion virtuelle pourrait être un art ? C'est presque comme la vraie vie, où il suffit d'un faux pas pour finir au fond du classement... ou juste dans une file d'attente au supermarché.

  • Oh, IMAX, the grand illusion of reality turned up to eleven! Who knew that watching a two-hour movie could feel like a NASA launch, complete with a symphony of surround sound that could wake the dead? For those who haven't had the pleasure, IMAX is not just a cinema; it’s an experience that makes you feel like you’re inside the movie—right before you realize you’re just trapped in a ridiculously oversized chair, too small for your popcorn bucket.

    Let’s talk about those gigantic screens. You know, the ones that make your living room TV look like a postage stamp? Apparently, the idea is to engulf you in the film so much that you forget about the existential dread of your daily life. Because honestly, who needs a therapist when you can sit in a dark room, surrounded by strangers, with a screen larger than your future looming in front of you?

    And don’t get me started on the “revolutionary technology.” IMAX is synonymous with larger-than-life images, but let's face it—it's just fancy pixels. I mean, how many different ways can you capture a superhero saving the world at this point? Yet, somehow, they manage to convince us that we need to watch it all in the world’s biggest format, because watching it on a normal screen would be akin to watching it through a keyhole, right?

    Then there’s the sound. IMAX promises "the most immersive audio experience." Yes, because nothing says relaxation like feeling like you’re in the middle of a battle scene with explosions that could shake the very foundations of your soul. You know, I used to think my neighbors were loud, but now I realize they could never compete with the sound of a spaceship crashing at full volume. Thanks, IMAX, for redefining the meaning of “loud neighbors.”

    And let’s not forget the tickets. A small mortgage payment for an evening of cinematic bliss! Who needs to save for retirement when you can experience the thrill of a blockbuster in a seat that costs more than your last three grocery bills combined? It’s a small price to pay for the opportunity to see your favorite actors’ pores in glorious detail.

    In conclusion, if you haven’t yet experienced the wonder that is IMAX, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions and a potential existential crisis. Because nothing says “reality” quite like watching a fictional world unfold on a screen so big it makes your own life choices seem trivial. So, grab your credit card, put on your 3D glasses, and let’s dive into the cinematic abyss of IMAX—where reality takes a backseat, and your wallet weeps in despair.

  • ¡Hola, amigos! Hoy quiero hablarles sobre un invento espectacular que ha capturado mi atención: el BhangmeterV2. Este increíble dispositivo responde a una pregunta muy importante: “¿Ha estallado una bomba nuclear?”

    Es sorprendente cómo hay personas, como Bigcrimping, que dedican su tiempo y esfuerzo a crear herramientas que pueden ayudar a la humanidad. Nos encontramos en un momento donde la tecnología puede ser nuestra aliada en la búsqueda de la seguridad y la paz. La capacidad de detectar una explosión nuclear no es solo un avance tecnológico; es un paso firme hacia un futuro más seguro para todos nosotros.

    Imaginen un mundo donde la consciencia sobre los riesgos nucleares esté al alcance de nuestras manos. La innovación y la creatividad son las fuerzas que nos empujan hacia adelante. Bigcrimping ha tomado la iniciativa y ha creado el BhangmeterV2, un detector que no solo responde a una pregunta crítica, sino que también nos hace reflexionar sobre nuestra responsabilidad en el uso de la tecnología.

    Cada día, enfrentamos desafíos, pero es fundamental recordar que cada uno de nosotros tiene el poder de hacer una diferencia. La curiosidad y el deseo de crear soluciones pueden transformar nuestro entorno. Si Bigcrimping pudo desarrollar una herramienta tan útil, ¿qué no podríamos hacer nosotros? ¡La única limitación es nuestra imaginación!

    Así que, ¡los invito a reflexionar sobre sus propias pasiones y habilidades! ¿Cuál es ese proyecto que desean llevar a cabo? ¿Qué ideas tienen que podrían cambiar el mundo? No hay metas imposibles cuando trabajamos juntos y nos apoyamos. ¡Cada pequeño paso cuenta!

    Recuerden que el futuro está en nuestras manos, y cada innovación comienza con una chispa de inspiración. Así que, sigamos soñando y creando, porque el mundo necesita más inventores, más soñadores y más personas que se atrevan a hacer una diferencia. ¡Vamos a hacerlo juntos!

    ¡Compartan este mensaje y motivemos a otros a seguir sus sueños! ¡El futuro es brillante y está lleno de posibilidades!

  • Ah, California! The land of sunshine, dreams, and the ever-elusive promise of tax credits that could rival a Hollywood blockbuster in terms of drama. Rumor has it that the state is considering a whopping 35% increase in tax credits to boost audiovisual production. Because, you know, who wouldn’t want to encourage more animated characters to come to life in a state where the cost of living is practically animated itself?

    Let’s talk about these legislative gems—Assembly Bill 1138 and Senate Bill 630. Apparently, they’re here to save the day, expanding the scope of existing tax aids like some overzealous superhero. I mean, why stop at simply attracting filmmakers when you can also throw in visual effects and animation? It’s like giving a kid a whole candy store instead of a single lollipop. Who can say no to that?

    But let’s pause for a moment and ponder the implications of this grand gesture. More tax credits mean more projects, which means more animated explosions, talking squirrels, and heartfelt stories about the struggles of a sentient avocado trying to find love in a world that just doesn’t understand it. Because, let’s face it, nothing says “artistic integrity” quite like a financial incentive large enough to fund a small country.

    And what do we have to thank for this potential windfall? Well, it seems that politicians have finally realized that making movies is a lot more profitable than, say, fixing potholes or addressing climate change. Who knew? Instead of investing in infrastructure that might actually benefit the people living there, they decided to invest in the fantasy world of visual effects. Because really, what’s more important—smooth roads or a high-speed chase featuring a CGI dinosaur?

    As we delve deeper into this world of tax credit excitement, let’s not forget the underlying truth: these credits are essentially a “please stay here” plea to filmmakers who might otherwise take their talents to greener pastures (or Texas, where they also have sweet deals going on). So, here’s to hoping that the next big animated feature isn’t just a celebration of creativity but also a financial statement that makes accountants drool.

    So get ready, folks! The next wave of animated masterpieces is coming, fueled by tax incentives and the relentless pursuit of cinematic glory. Who doesn’t want to see more characters with existential crises brought to life on screen, courtesy of our taxpayer dollars? Bravo, California! You’ve truly outdone yourself. Now let’s just hope these tax credits don’t end up being as ephemeral as a poorly rendered CGI character.

  • fxpodcast: Landman’s special effects and explosions with Garry Elmendorf

    Garry Elmendorf isn’t just a special effects supervisor, he’s a master of controlled chaos. With over 50 years in the business, from Logan’s Run in the ’70s to the high-octane worlds of Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, and Landman. Elmendorf has shaped the visual DNA of Taylor Sheridan’s TV empire with a mix of old-school craft and jaw-dropping spectacle. In the latest fxpodcast, Garry joins us to break down the physical effects work behind some of the most explosive moments in Landman.
    As regular listeners know, we occasionally conduct interviews with individuals working in SFX, rather than with VFX. Garry’s work is not the kind of work that’s built in post and his approach is grounded in real-world physics, practical fabrication, and deeply collaborative on-set discipline. Take the aircraft crash in Landman’s premiere: there was no CGI here, other than comp cleanup. It was shot with just a Frankenstein plane built from scrap, rigged with trip triggers and detonated in real time.
    Or the massive oil rig explosion, which involved custom pump jacks, 2,000 gallons of burning diesel and gasoline, propane cannons, and tightly timed pyro rigs. The scale is cinematic. Safety, Garry insists, is always his first concern, but what keeps him up at night is timing. One mistimed trigger, one failed ignition, and the shot is ruined.

    In our conversation, Garry shares incredible behind-the-scenes insights into how these sequences are devised, tested, and executed, whether it’s launching a van skyward via an air cannon or walking Billy Bob Thornton within 40 feet of a roaring fireball. There’s a tactile intensity to his work, and a trust among his crew that only comes from decades of working under pressure. From assembling a crashable aircraft out of mismatched parts to rigging oil rig explosions with precise control over flame size, duration, and safety, his work is rooted in mechanical problem-solving and coordination across departments.

    In Landman, whether coordinating multiple fuel types to achieve specific smoke density or calculating safe clearances for actors and crew around high-temperature pyrotechnics, Elmendorf’s contribution reflects a commitment to realism and repeatability on set. The result is a series where the physicality of explosions, crashes, and fire-driven action carries weight, both in terms of production logistics and visual impact.
