Apologies for the wrong spelling, @PFXcompany. I need some glasses! Congrats for the work!

I've already been contacted, and apparently, Light VFX was not only 12 artists but 40! So the total number of 369 is not correct, It's much higher!

Apologies if I missed a tag. I can't seem to find all the VFX houses on Twitter. If I've missed anything, please do Tag it in the comments. Thanks

And this is the interview clip that started this entire discussion. It could be that Ridley Scott needs clarification on what VFX, CGI or AI actually means, or it could be out-of-context clickbaiting editing. Regardless, it's disappointing to watch! ☹️

@NapoleonMovie Any movie promoted as having “no CGI” should be required by the FTC to release the movie without CGI or be penalized for deceptive trade practices.

@NapoleonMovie Technically I guess it's correct. All that work was generated by human artisans. None of it was fully generated by computers :) Time to switch the term to HGI..or we can just call it VFX.

This tweet is for The Guardian and Shaad D'Souza: If you bothered to watch Barbie until the end credits you would have discovered that the film, which you claim has ‘almost no CGI or VFX’ has a credit list of 207 VFX artists and 5 VFX companies. Please also note that 3 out of the 5 companies have missing credits, so this number is a lot bigger. Just like Oppenheimer and Mission Impossible, these films have hundreds of invisible VFX and #CGI. The next time you make such a poor article like the one called ‘‘It’s exactly as they’d have done it in the 1910s’: how Barbenheimer is leading the anti-CGI backlash’, please reach out to a VFX supervisor for comment before publishing. Have a great day! The full #VFX credit for #BarbieMovie can be found below!

It’s time. Introducing the Iris NFTs: Your gateway to the Iris DAO ecosystem. Iris DAO is an art collective that connects minority artists and collectors. Join the allowlist now 👉 Our mission is to bring about a revolution in the issue of diversity. Currently, artists from various minority groups encounter barriers that hinder their full potential due to biases related to age, gender, race, and other factors. These limitations result in unequal opportunities for minority artists, creating a significant lack of diversity. • Only 15% of digital art sales are by women artists. • 85% of artworks displayed in American museums are created by white artists. Even our 17 yo founder @Mark_Teenage faced criticism and hardship solely based on his age. They judged Mark without acknowledging his skills. We focus on providing support to minority groups, offering new opportunities and platforms for self-expression. What are Iris NFTs? Iris NFT grants exclusive access to the Iris Ecosystem, uniting curated collectors and artists on a mission to champion diversity. In addition to membership to the Iris's artists and collectors community, Iris NFT holders gain access to unique experiences throughout the Iris Ecosystem.

✨ When I watch a great film, it’s the visual storytelling that pulls me in… moments so immersive you forget you’re looking at pixels and feel like you’ve stepped into a living universe. That kind of magic doesn’t happen by accident. It’s created by artists and technologists pushing the limits of what’s possible. 🎬 Visual effects aren’t just part of the story; they are its heartbeat. They shape emotion, scale, and the moments that stay with us long after the credits roll. 💡 That’s why I’m proud that AMD and Wētā FX are deepening our collaboration to explore new rendering and AI-driven tools that put more creative power in the hands of artists. 🔥 Wētā FX has shaped some of the most iconic visuals in modern cinema including the breathtaking artistry of the Avatar films to Avatar: Fire and Ash (debuting today), Wētā FX and AMD technology have helped define modern cinema. With the integration of AMD CPUs and GPUs, we’ll be enabling networks of AI models to work interactively, helping artists gain more control, more flexibility, and more room to experiment as they shape the stories that define our time. 🌟 It was great to welcome Daniel Seah to Austin to talk about the future of VFX, our partnership, and what comes next. 🚀 The next era of storytelling is being built by artists and technologists powered by Wētā FX’s vision and AMD’s technology, and we’re proud to help bring it to life.

It's no secret that Michael Bay likes to shoot his films with as much practical effects as possible. In #Transformers (2007) there is a shot where Optimus Prime and Megatron crash through a building, this shot was done practically using a miniature at 1/4 scale by ILM. Doing this shot practically allowed them to get the randomness of the destruction without having to do expensive simulations. The CG robots were then added into the shot to merge the photographic plate with the CG elements. When doing live-action films, it is always a good idea to shoot physically as much as possible. This provides the VFX artists with real world reference to ground their work in and allows them to compliment the shot with CG elements. One of the reasons the original Transformers trilogy looks so good is because of the incredible blend of practical and digital effects. It is difficult to watch the film and spot what is real and what is CG. ILM VFX Supervisor Scott Farrar talks through how this scene was pulled off:

Children grow out of being artists. Elif Shafak explains why: "If you ask in a room full of children, 'Are there any artists in this room?' So many hands go up. All of them are artists. 'Are there writers in this room?' They're writers. 'Poets?' They're poets. At that age, girls are perhaps a little more vocal than boys. Then I'd give the same talk to 16 and 17-year-olds, and everything would have changed. 'Are there any writers in this room?' No hands go up. 'Are there any poets? Painters?' No hands. And girls have become timid. Because we taught them: be careful how you sit, how you talk, the length of your skirt, the sound of your voice...you will be judged. Once you are judged, you will be categorized. We internalize that fear, and little by little, that kills our creativity."

On the recent episode of Billboard Philippines Volumes (Billboard Philippines) BINI (BINI_PH) leader #BINI_Jhoanna answered the question about: Question: “The door that you've opened up, what it is doing to the Filipino artists today?” “One of the biggest changes, is that Filipino artists are no longer just asking (if) whether it's possible to go on a global stage, because it is now possible (it is possible) and I'm not just talking about our Coachella moment, but I'm talking about how many Filipino artists are doing world tour and selling out arenas just the fact that you can show outside the Philippines, even if we say that only Filipinos are watching there. But still you are outside the country, you can invite your non-Filipino audiences there to start all over.” — BINI Jhoanna Robles BINI BACK ON BBPH VOLUMES #BBPHVolumesWithBINI #BINIxCokeStudio10 #BINI

This is the video AI Haters tried to cancel, created by Martin Nebelong, who has just given me permission to republish it. He felt compelled to remove it due to the incredible amount of bullying he was receiving. In his words: "The amount of hate, negativity, and fear was staggering, and I didn't want to defend myself against that." Nothing outrages me more me more than the "cancel culture" and the unfair pressures on creators who are simply using AI tools and showing the world how they can learn these new creative processes. His video is amazing. It shows how Generative AI nowadays is much more than "just writing a prompt". And how it will enable artists and designers to experiment in countless new ways. Remember that it's not that artists/designers hate AI! AI Haters are just a small group of people and they don't speak for all artists. In fact, I know many more artists and designers who already use it daily. But they just don't make noise: they focus on learning and creating. Martin, you, and any other creator using AI, has all my support!

Look at the hysterical anti-AI comments in this thread from people who have never animated a day in their life. They claim AI "undercuts artists" and "steals from real animators." As a real animator who has been animating for 20 years, AI is simply the equivalent of getting a budget and a studio. Especially as one who has been blacklisted from the industry, AI is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. "Independent animators are the only artists who are expected to do the jobs of hundreds of people." Did Disney, Bakshi, or Judge stop being artists/animators because they got a studio, and didn't animate every single frame of their films by themselves? The answer from these commenters would be "ofcourse not." So why is it any different when a head animator uses AI to do all the laborious bitchwork instead of poorly paid Koreans? If a director ceases to be an artist because they use AI, then that means a director ceases to be an artist because they use a studio, and only the studio of poorly paid Koreans doing tedious repetitive bitchwork would be considered the Real Artists. Obviously, this is absurd logic. I still have seen no one refute this, and I would like to see some of the people in this thread try.

(Q. Are there any featured artists on this album?) IU: No. And that’s actually one of the fun parts. There are so many tracks, and featuring… there was a song where I thought, “It might be nice to have someone feature on this one.” But a studio album filled entirely with just my own voice… it’s fun. And I’m sure there are uaenas who will appreciate that kind of approach, too. #아이유 #IU #Kpop

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DAILY PROGRAM The Fellowship Daily Program is about to celebrate one year, and what a year it has been. All through this crazy "bear market" artists have continued to show up because this AI video thing is happening now...not tomorrow but today in front of us all! To be here means that you were here when the seeds for the future AI filmmaking was being experimented with. With over 130 artists from around the world, experimenting and pushing their practice to new levels, we come to a year that will go down in history as the first period of AI video with so much production and experimentation. It is not that AI video didn't exist before, but 2023-2024 is the year with the most technical advancements that have ever happened for this medium, and the number of creators using the tools have come to a critical mass. This period is also very much based on creating visual narratives and storytelling. It is also about control and guiding the hallucinations into the artists' visual language. This period is about visual narratives that contain stories or experiments like we had not seen before. The Daily NFT collection will also contain a mix of possibly all AI tools available to date. From Runway to Kling to a few more we will announce shortly. The Daily collection is one of a kind, built in public, during the work market for NFTs, but with some of the most talented artists in the world, pushing, pushing, pushing. Some of the amazing artists who have "grown up" in the program include niceaunties, noper, LEGIO_X, Mind Wank, Andrea Ciulu, Frank Manzano, B O E Y, Ethereal Gwirl, Le Moon, doopiidoo among many many more! We are happy to add a few new names and new works to the collection. Stay tuned for their releases coming in September. Video by Running a Fever

VIDEO | When asked about whether Pakistani artists should be allowed in India, lyricist Javed Akhtar (Javed Akhtar) says, "The first question should be whether we should allow the Pakistani artists here. There are two answers, both of them are equally logical. It has been a one way traffic, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Ghulam Ali, Noor Jahan came to India, we gave them a great reception... Faiz Ahmad Faiz, who is a poet of subcontinent, he was living in Pakistan, when he came to India during the AB Vajpayee regime, he was treated like a state head, the kind of respect given by the government. I am afraid, this has never been reciprocated, I mean, I have no complain with the people of Pakistan. Big poets of Pakistan has written for the songs of Lata Mangeshkar. She was hands down most popular artist in India and Pakistan in the 60's and 70's, but why there was not a single performance of Lata Mangeshkar in Pakistan? I won't complain to people of Pakistan, she was loved, but there was some blockage, the blockage was system, which I don't understand. This is one-way traffic. The second if equally valid, if we block Pakistani artists, who are we pleasing in Pakistan? The Army and the fundamentalist, this is what they want? They want distance, it suits them. Both these questions are equally valid. At this moment, I would say no." #Pakistan #PahalgamTerroristAttack

The second if equally valid, if we block Pakistani artists, who are we pleasing in Pakistan? The Army and the fundamentalist, this is what they want? They want distance, it suits them. Both these questions are equally valid. At this moment, I would say no." #Pakistan #PahalgamTerroristAttack

For nearly three years, many Jewish writers, artists, and creatives have quietly lived with a reality that too few institutions were willing to acknowledge. Books became harder to sell. Opportunities disappeared. Jewish identity became something to soften, explain, or hide. Too often, artists were judged not by the quality of their work, but by assumptions about their beliefs or identity. This week's conversation surrounding PEN America is bigger than one organization. It raises a fundamental question: Can an institution truly defend free expression if it cannot defend the expression of everyone - including Jewish and Israeli writers? I know this question isn't theoretical because I lived it. After October 7, the book deal I'd spent nine months building disappeared after I chose to publicly educate about antisemitism and advocate for Israel's safety and security. That experience ultimately led me to write White. Blonde. Jew. As a founding member of Artists Against Antisemitism, I've watched countless creatives face pressures that many people never see. The answer isn't to retreat. It isn't to self-censor. And it certainly isn't to accept the erasure of Jewish voices from our cultural institutions. Our artists, writers, and storytellers are part of the moral and creative fabric of a free society. If we believe in intellectual diversity and free expression, those principles must apply even when the speaker - or the subject - is unpopular. Free expression is only meaningful when it protects the voices we don't all agree with. That's not just a literary principle. It's a democratic one.

It is with deep gratitude that I welcome you all to Local Void Records. I remember talking about wanting to start a label 10 years ago.. I thought of it as a far out dream at the time, so to be here now is both invigorating and humbling. Manifesting a platform that provides opportunities for other artists to have a chance of getting their music heard is something I’m extremely passionate about. I understand the struggle of how hard it is to get your music out there and this feels like a way I can give back. Releasing music is just the beginning.. we have a team of passionate individuals who are excited to grow this entity into something bigger with the mission of uplifting and inspiring others. The name Local Void is inspired by the concept of a void in space.. a vast, open space that’s waiting to be filled. In the context of our label, it represents the idea that there is room for all kinds of music and artists, no matter their style or genre. The void is not empty.. it's a place of infinite possibility. Just like that cosmic void, Local Void is a space where artists can push boundaries and explore new dimensions of sound without limitation. It's a home for anyone who feels their music has something unique to offer, and it’s a space that will continually evolve, welcoming new voices and fresh ideas. Truly.. thank you to everyone who has supported me. I recognize that you all are the reason I’m in the position to be able to do something like this. Luv you all 🫶🏼 ~ Mike

It's crazy, I actually side with the "Anti-AI or AI slop" crowd. When the new SAG-AFTRA agreement took affect July 1st, I thought this was a major win for TV, film, artists rights and IP holders. People see viral AI Brad Pit fighting Tom Cruise or rip off American Ghibli Anime and assume anyone using AI to create content has the same background or beliefs. Quite the opposite. Majority of the top 1% of AI filmmakers or AI artists are: pro-AI, anti-theft, pro-ownership. We come from traditional production, have "real artist" friends and colleagues. We educate, hire and collaborate with artists, studios, streaming platforms, and production companies. We just released episode 2 of our original series "The Arc" on Artlist TV, and is just one example of what utilizing AI to tell stories looks like in the near future and following the guidelines created by SAG-AFTRA. What do you think - does the new SAG-AFTRA agreement not only protect real artists and IP but also provide a new revenue stream to these same artists and IP holders? Watch the full episode here: "The Arc" Created by: me Directed by : Me & KDK Studios Executive produced by: Simone Ferretti Produced by: BRIANA STEWART AI studio: Happy Monday x Yougenius Al prompt engineer: Me Al artist: Mikey Rare Al artist: Edgar Daniel Post production studio: KDK Studios Production studio: AFM AI Creator Studio Logline: Before The Arc sends a man into history, it unmakes him - bleaching, rewiring, and reducing Isaac Ward to Inmate "Five" under the cold gaze of the overseer NULL. The name is gone; the clock to save his son has started. #aifilm #aifilmmaking #aivideo #generativeai #originalseries

Models/Artists: EXCITING AND MAJOR NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS 1. You can now upload any zip or pdf file to sell in your store or include in a post, up to 2gig. 2. The Media Center now has a “Files” category where you can see the files you have uploaded, create a post or a store item. 3. There are new Art categories you can choose when posting a product for sale, and that users can use to search the store. These will evolve over time and we know they don’t cover every use case yet. 4. There is a new Artists page that lists the artists on the site. There aren’t many yet, but this will obviously grow a lot. 5. The verification process now has better instructions for artists vs. video creators. 6. When you sign up, you choose whether you are an artist or on-screen talent. If you already have your account and need to update this, reach out to customer service and they can do it for you. If your current artwork fits within our TOS, go ahead and start selling your works now on JFF. If you aren’t sure, we hope to have clarity around our TOS this week, so please be patient as we get that done. Folks, this is Phase I, and we’ve done this all since Friday to try to help the NSFW artists in our community. There will be more phases as we see what is needed. We are doing our best, so if something you want isn’t there yet, send a note to customer service and help us build this area out on the site over time. We hope Phase I meets a good percentage of your immediate needs to start earning money. But we also know that our site, like ALL adult sites, will have content restrictions that will exclude some of you. That’s not our choosing or our doing. But if we want to keep our credit card processors and not deplatform *everyone* (like other sites just did) then we need to play by their rules. That sucks and we are sorry about that. We use adult processors, so we have a lot fewer restrictions than the other sites that are deplatforming ALL NSFW content. For those of you new to the site, we have made a VIDEO TUTORIAL (thank you, Alice Skary) on how to upload files, post them for sale, set your store as the default view of your profile, etc. You can watch that here:

Water simulation has always been the holy grail of FX, requiring an incredible amount of computation to get right. For Battleship (2012), ILM had to reinvent their water systems to allow them to be able to deliver the show with it's plethora of shots in water. The alien ships are hundreds of feet long and therefore displace massive amounts of water. This, coupled with them making aggressive movements meant that hundreds of millions of droplets of water had to be simulated per shot to get a believable look of water interaction. Before their new water systems, artists were only able to get "1-2 simulations done per day", but with the new system they were able to "do many simulations per day", increasing the iterations and therefore the creative freedom and expression for the artists. ILM has since reworked their water systems multiple times, now being more powerful and accurate than ever, utilizing more powerful hardware and more accurate and efficient simulation algorithms. Today, water simulation is something that can be done a lot easier than before, even being able to do it in real-time with tools such as Unreal Engine and LiquiGen. Houdini is currently the most powerful tool for simulating water or any FX at very high fidelities. Check out some FX flipbooks from ILMs VFX breakdown showing their water work below:

🎧 Xiao Zhan — “Just Dance” (现在不跳舞要干嘛) | Dragon TV New Year’s Eve Gala | Reaction by Zhang Shanfeng (professional photographer) 👤: I have a friend, he’s a world-class photographer. He’s worked with a lot of artists, really top-level ones. He’s a foreigner and has worked with a lot of artists in China. And a lot of the male celebrities that we think are handsome, he doesn’t necessarily think so. He told me that among all the male artists he’s worked with, Xiao Zhan is the only one he truly finds handsome. When you see him in person, you’d really feel the difference when you stand next to him. He’s worked with basically all the so-called “handsome guys” people talk about these days, but the most handsome one to him is Xiao Zhan. His features are very sharp and defined. It’s the kind of look both men and women find attractive. He’s not that overly soft, delicate type of beauty that’s common nowadays. He sits right between those two. He’s not just your typical big-screen handsome guy. Youtube: #XiaoZhan #肖战
