Before CGI, Superman (1948) solved flight with hand-drawn animation. Artists layered animated cels over live-action footage to make Superman fly. It may look dated now — but back then, it was pure innovation.

In the 1948 ‘Superman’ serial, the Man of Steel didn’t exactly soar the way you’d expect. Due to a tight budget, animation was used for many of Superman’s flight scenes, blending live-action with animated takeoffs, landings and mid-air movement

1948’s Superman serial has Clark’s father telling him “with great power… comes great responsibility.” A common enough concept but interesting to see it in superhero media over a decade before Spidey shows up.

I LOVE YUN-JIN'S LOBBY THEME SOOOOO BAD. It feels fast paced, and a bit "dated" for K-Pop since she is older herself. Then there's a brief moment of vulnerability and loneliness with the piano, like a look into her solitude. But not for long before it goes back to the action!

It took a team to bring the T. rex back to life. The artists at Industrial Light & Magic created stunning animation, coupled with cutting-edge software, live-action photography, and the famed “Dinosaur Input Device” to make this scene a reality. #JurassicPark30

The Lord of the Rings (1978) makes it all the way to the Battle of Helm’s Deep and then suddenly cuts off; because the studio cancelled the planned sequel. The film uses rotoscoping a technique where animators draw over live-action footage to make it look more realistic which made the battle scenes, for its time…

fable, I want you to grab a MetaHuman file off of Unreal Engine Marketplace or Fab Marketplace or something like that. There should be free ones. Find a character controller that works with that for web and threeJS. Specifically for flying, like Superman, generate a World Labs outdoor environment of your choosing and set up a threeJS project where we can fly around with a character like Superman, with really nice flying animations, camera animations, and camera zoom and shake effects when you're flying. Put some nice post-processing on it with some bloom and grain and stuff like that. Really just make this feel as polished as you can, where we get to fly around in a world where the flight feels similar to Superman. Do it in one shot and without any input from me. optimize it 2 prompts - NOT BAD!! Honestly could get this feeling/looking 10x better with probably 2 more prompts. I'd likely use a larger city GLB, populate the outskirts with World Labs gsplats, manually grab a better character to use, and add some objectives. But I wanted to see what it could do in 1 prompt (basically) Try it out 👇

Richard Donner on why he made 'Superman' (1978) & the movie's connection to François Truffaut's 'Jules & Jim' (1962): "I certainly didn’t know it when we were making 'Superman' (1978) [that it would have a profound impact on millions of people around the world]. I was just trying to make the best movie I could make. I think it was during the first showing I attended — not the opening, but a regular screening in a theater, in New York. I watched the audience experience that movie and I was very moved, very excited. Before I came on board, the script was kind of a parody of a parody, It had been really well written by three or four really good writers, but they had been directed by a couple of Hungarians [producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind] who saw it as a comic book rather than a piece of history. Their script didn’t have any respect for what the character stood for, since I was a little kid. Tom Mankiewicz and I had known each other for years, and we’d always talked about working together, so I presented him with the problem, I asked him to bring a sense of reality, or verisimilitude, to the story. I wanted to be able to prove that a man could fly. Tom rewrote the entire script. Years before, there had been a French film called 'Jules and Jim' (1962, Truffaut), a great film. Two guys fall in love with the same woman. That’s what Superman was: two guys in love with the same woman. It happened to be that the two guys were the same guy, but not in the woman’s eyes. I asked Tom ‘How do we make that into a love story?’ He just fell right into it." I was trying to let the audience know that they were not looking at a comic book, or what had been done with Superman over the ages. This was the true story of Superman. In my eyes, when I was a kid, he was real. And he was in Tom’s eyes, too. We decided that’s the way we wanted the movie to be." (Richard Donner's interview with Michael P Coleman, 2020)

Most SaaS product demo videos make one mistake. They break the UI into small animated pieces just to make the video look “cool”. But that creates a problem. The viewer never understands how the actual product looks. we took the opposite approach for our client Scale ai We showed the real product. The real UI. The real workflow. No over-editing. No fake screens. It may look less “flashy”. But the viewer actually understands the product before they even use it.

Can someone explain to me why you would call yourself an “AI artist” or an “AI filmmaker”? You’re giving the technology top billing! You’re either an artist or you’re not. You’re either a filmmaker or you’re not. You’re either a storyteller or you’re not. I storyboarded, keyframed and animated this scene by hand with paper and pencil. It was then translated into CGI… but I animated it. I’m an artist. I’m a filmmaker. I’m a storyteller. I’m the genuine article.

😄“That’s how f*cked up it is.” Russians really wanted to — but couldn’t — fly to Cuba The flight was turned back прямо from the runway, with the engines already running. Today, Russia’s ally admitted it has nothing left to refuel aircraft — Cuba has run out of jet fuel. Flights are now only possible if planes carry enough fuel for the return trip.

Jasontheween tried inviting Joe Bartolozzi to his May 8th birthday party, but Joe declined because he’s filming a video with Jack Pembrook that day. Jasontheween then tried to persuade Joe to gift him 100 subs instead, since he won't be able to make it. Joe Bartolozzi then went live and was visibly disgusted at what Jasontheween asked for.

Killzone was never truly popular -- the entire six game series maybe sold 10 million copies -- but if Sony is to revisit an FPS franchise, it may make the most sense. That said, why would a mass of people care about the IP now when they didn't before? Where was everyone then?

The Inception of Worthless Coin: At 3am in early July I was recording a video of me trading. Here's live footage of W popping up on my wallet tracker. I traded it, it died shortly after, and something spoke to me to start my first ever CTO. This is a small teaser. The full video is 90 minutes. Then I recorded updates every single day for a week to make a documentary with when it takes over the world. I knew what this was from the jump, and here's proof to back it.

Tarun, in Delhi, was k!lled by muslims allegedly over water balloon issue on Holi - the accused were arrested - their home set on fire - then it was bulldozed Now look at the case of Unaiz Khan. - He was k!lled by his Hindu friend - Police says it was accident - Any bulldozer action? - Any hashtags? - Any reels? And the l¥nching of muslims happens on a daily basis but their news rarely make the headlines.

Matthew McConaughey explains why so many relationships fail “We make her Wonder Woman and she makes us Superman and neither one of us can live up to it” “We've got that honeymoon bulb turned up to 100 watts and the honeymoon's over, we're trying to deal with some real basic stuff. Let's leave it at 20 watts. We're just lit but we're not just feverishly, you know, superhuman” “I think a lot of us just project that on someone else and they can't live up to it and it ends up not being fair to them and then they do the same to us and we both walk away going, I underwhelmed”

Godfather of agents showed how he created the loop engineering that everyone now uses: as PhD student, he wrote the formula every AI agent now runs on - his formula taught agents to self-improve here's the formula: step 1 → stop making the model just think OR just act - make it alternate: think → act → observe → think again step 2 → let it reason out loud before every action - the plan guides the next move, not just the output step 3 → feed the result of each action back in - the model reads what happened and adjusts, live step 4 → when it fails, don't restart make it reflect on WHY it failed, in words, then retry with that memory step 5 → store those reflections - the agent gets better across attempts without any retraining before OpenAI, before he ran Tencent's AI - he was a grad student who quietly wrote the blueprint every agent now follows - now give 90-min course watch & bookmark - then read how the agent systems actually works ↓
