i knew those were flowline renders.

here's the VFX breakdown: https://vimeo.com/296125433

yeah, poor people are the WORST! i applaud LA's efforts to make their miserable lives even harder to live in or escape from.

goddammit. sam just can't help himself but just muddy any water he sees. he's become a caricature of himself. i think twitter fights have rotten his brain.

how many cults of personality are you in, bob?

you said he was the worst POTUS which is a ridiculous opinion considering buchanan, johnson, and harding existed.

you think jimmy carter was the worst POTUS? that's incoherent regardless of your political ideology.

what helps alleviate this kind of "bad parenting" is the full gamut of policies that bob has almost certainly been voting against: healthcare, worker's rights, taxes, welfare systems, housing, racial equity, environmental protections, even bike lanes, etc.

after taking away access to any real possibility to a dignified life or upward mobility, bob points and says, "look at how horrible these people are" as he pretends the guilt sits on no one's shoulders but the victims.

he must have put in a lot of work to be that wildly misinformed (or he's being purposefully misleading).

i am deeply ashamed i ever got dragged into this profoundly stupid conversation. clearly i refuse to learn the lesson that the internet is not actually a place to share ideas.

point successfully missed. again.

holy shit. whatever man.

if your brother is still at ILM, tell him to say "hi". hopefully he's less of a pig headed asshat than you.

i'm not disagreeing with established definition, i'm telling you what established definition is. if you would stop being an internet contrarian on a subject you know next to nothing about and listen to the professional for one goddamn second, you might pick up on that.

"CGI can alter the color and intensity of light, changing the appearance of an actor’s face or body in a shot."

this means building a digi double of an actor's face or body, match moving/rotomating it, relighting it with scene lights, then a shit ton of work in comp. NOT a colour correct or a shitty filter. it's a huge amount of work.

they're using "CGI" as a substitute for "CG" which, in the industry, specifically refers to 3D generated assets, as i stated a while ago. NO ONE in the industry uses the term "CGI" for all the reasons i also stated above. they are using "CGI" in this sales pitch because they're aware laypeople know that term and don't know the distinction between CG, FX, comp, previs, and all those department's sub categories. all their examples, including the one you quoted, are referring to CG generated images, which are explicitly NOT 2D processing, filters, compositing, editing, or DI.

lol. that doesn't actually support what you're saying. maybe you should read the rest of it for better context.
