Looking at more Gaster content. This video by sagadacasinha, using artwork from outofuniform510 and audio from The Hangman (1964) is one of my favorites. If you haven't seen the short film yet, I definitely recommend it, it's only about 12 minutes long. The scene where the Hangman's face shifts...

I just watched the Netflix manosphere doc. If you focus only on its themes and subjects, it's pretty boring overall, but if you look at its format, it becomes quite interesting. It might be the most unintentional work of art ever made (and I don't mean it as a compliment toward the producers). This scene alone is one of the most surreal I've ever seen (so much to unpack that it would take me years). For context: the scene takes place towards the end, when the host returns to Marbella for one last follow-up interview with one of the influencers. At this point, the influencer has received plenty of negative feedback from his own followers about the host, having live-streamed the making of the doc several times, so he's well-aware of his and his producers' intentions (i.e., to essentially do a hit piece), so he tries to set them up by asking his own "cameraman" to live-stream the whole encounter. This time, however, not just for the sake of live-streaming, but to expose them as biased, corrupt, etc. IOW, to engineer a "hit piece" on them (whether his attempt backfires is irrelevant). On top of that, by the time the encounter takes place, the host has been live-streamed multiple times by almost all the subjects he had been profiling (over the course of weeks or months, not sure), which in turn has generated not only lots of discussion on socials (I've never heard of any of the influencers before this so I missed it), but also news articles about the making of the doc, the subjects profiled, the host, their views, and so forth, not to mention content about the news articles and the streams by other influencers... *before the doc has even wrapped up filming*. So it's already kind of unique. Now, though, that the documentary has come out, here are some Qs: Who's producing it? The host or the influencers? Their followers? The media? The other influencers? A combination of all of these? Who is the subject? Is the host making a documentary about himself by making a documentary about the influencers, or one about the influencers by making one about himself? Both? The whole thing is like a production within a series of streams within multiple reality shows within news stories within a debate within multiple platforms within (more layers I'm probably not even thinking of), which can also work in reverse, depending on how you look at it and/or how you've come across it. It's an unintentional work of art insofar as it perfectly captures the absurdity of today's "cultural" production—the way we consume it, contribute to it, engineer it, let it affect us (or the other way around). It also reveals in part why many of us online are prone to describe culture as "stuck". I think the reason we can't seem to ever get to the bottom of why is that we are not really describing "culture" when we say that. We are describing ourselves. Those comments that appear in the chat within the stream within the documentary? That's "us".

I modelled the head, face, and battle mask for Optimus Prime for #Transformers ROTB. I also designed his new "centurion" open battle mask look along with it's animation. The director wanted the face to resemble the face from the 2007 Transformers film as ROTB was a soft-prequel to it but also wanted it to be tweaked to fit the new design and for us to give it some new unique features. This is where we came up with the new mask design which doesn't get entirely hidden when open. Instead, it gets stored on the side of his cheeks, like a Roman centurions helmet. The head design is derived from his model from the 2018 Bumblebee film to keep some consistency with that film too as ROTB was also a soft-sequel to Bumblebee. There are new pieces, adjusted proportions, and reworks to detailing in ROTBs version. The face proportions are modified from the 2007 face to be a lot wider and beefier, matching his new head shape and look. I redesigned and built the eyes from scratch using our kitbash pieces like I did for all the Maximals and Mirage. The studio decided against going for the holographic eyes look from the 2018 Bumblebee film but rather wanted a more simple look in between the 2007 and the 2018 eyes. I added a lot of small mechanical details to his battle mask animation which we unfortunately never get to see in the film. For example, I designed a fully functional mechanism which pushes his chin piece back when his mask closes. This was very cool when it was visible, our Animation Director and VFX Supervisors were super excited about it, but unfortunately no shot showed it off in the final film. It was a lot of fun to help model and design Optimus Prime for this film. I'm happy I got to contribute to such an iconic character.
