Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using a Adobe Premiere Pro. wired.com/story/metadata-sho…

Funny how no one says “cinematography has regressed” if a film is shot badly.
VFX is just another step in the filmmaking process. Of course the VFX isn’t going to look as good when we have 4x as much work to do in half the time with less budget.
The thing that has actually regressed is filmmaker’s understanding of VFX and how to best use it in the filmmaking process.
Directors and studios don’t take the time to plan productions correctly and try to fix everything in post, further exasperating the problem.
When artists have enough time and budget and the films leadership team understands VFX, you get films that look incredible and stand the test of time.

UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin suspect identified as Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old former Ivy League student.
He was taken into custody this morning at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s and caught with a manifesto that appeared to list grievances with the healthcare industry - he has not been charged yet.

Before I worked in games I used to think this. Let me help you understand why studios NEED to announce games 'too early' sometimes ✌🏾
1. Funding. Sometimes, teasers are aimed at investors or publishers confidence. If that YouTube view count gets high enough, and the comments are popping then the Directors can secure a higher investment or justify that wild ass requested budget.
2. Attracting Talent. If you want the top swordsmen in the world at your studio, you gotta respect they are good enough to work anywhere. So the best Artists, Designers, Coders etc need to see something exciting to decide to move to a new city to help turn a good game into a great one.
3. Countering Leaks. Sometimes a 12 second game teaser is there to set the tone. This is always gonna affect sentiment better than a blurry leak of an unfinished model with the first YouTube comment being "yo wtf, this looks like ass!?!"
4. Controlling Expectations. If a studio is working on something new, they want to make sure their fans don't spend 4 years 'anticipating' the wrong game. I ain't tryna hear you and your friends saying "I can't wait for SpaceHunter 2" if I'm making "Ninja Legend". The backlash could be a headache.
5. Market Positioning. Announcing "big comic action game" signals to competitors that my project exists too, so they need to avoid an identical style and gimme space so our release timing doesn't conflict.
Obviously there's other reasons too, like building hype, building a community, or just getting lucky enough to secure a Game Awards slot - but you get the idea. Videogame cycles aren't like Film cycles so you sometimes need to move early.
Hope this helps 🤝🏾

I'm never going to forget the balls of Geoff Ramsey to fire up a podcast and give this speech alone after Rooster Teeth laid off 50 people. You can tell he gave a fuck about each and every one of them who lost their job the day before. End of an era.

I’m extremely thankful to get an opportunity to finish my story. Doesn’t happened every day. Now the take it or leave it deal they gave me on the graphic novel is bonkers, most people would have probably turned it down.
I’ve done enough big projects that I believed I could do it, still do. It does feel like they didn’t want the novel to be a success so they limited where it could go, no access to publishers and the list goes on. I’m very limited in my options.
I think that was the only way they let me do the novel was to limit the eyes on it. The novel would have been a New York Times bestseller and I would have been able to pick a publisher to help if that would have happened. Then I could just focus on writing the thing.
This is all to say…
Warner 100% like most networks don’t want egg on their face, and they are afraid if a streamer gets that movie that it would become a success. That’s a real thing. Don’t try to make sense of it, because it won’t make sense. None of what they do makes sense. Explaining them to people is impossible too. I hate that these filmmakers are experiencing this because this shouldn’t even be an issue.
This was basically my theory since it was confirmed they were refusing counter offers.
Olan Rogers experienced a similar thing where WB REFUSED to let him crowdfund a Final Space graphic novel.
Zaslav is driven more by Ego than money.

Leaked screenshot of Wile E Coyote from the movie #coyotevsacme . The petition I started now has over 10,200 signatures!! Paramount and Amazon are both interested but nothing official yet . I was part of the legal team in the film . The animation looks fantastic for Wile E Coyote !!!!
This film means so much to me and I was truly devastated when it was canceled . Two very important people in my life who are now gone (mom and son)?were huge fans of @JohnCena so being in a scene next to him meant a lot to me . I usually don’t even do background work anymore but I was all over trying to get on this film .
I had multiple chances to ask John Cena for a selfie but never did as I never want to interrupt an actor when they are working . I did however end up in a scene where I sit right next to him thanks to the awesome director @dgreenmachine picking me to sit with him .
That made my day more than any selfie would have .
I worked on the film for multiple weeks and I saw how hard everyone was working ..I saw first hand the awesome performances of John Cena , Will Forte and others. When I started the petition I didn’t expect much but had to say something . I am sure this film will be a hit and ALL that were involved deserved to see it and all the FANS deserve to see it as well .
Stop scrapping completed movies ..stop disregarding people’s hard work . This movie had positive test screenings already before it was scrapped . Do better @warnerbros and hopefully you sell it at a fair price and let it see the light of day .
