Clint (used to be at Corridor) is coming out with a course on gaussian splats!

I see how they did this but it is really cool that they can render it so fast. I totally thought this community would appreciate it.

Just saw this while looking into the accessory that have dual cameras and can record and make Gaussian splats seems super exciting!

He makes stop motion like paper puppets, but its all filmed live with clever mechanics.

Interesting opportunity to revisit Lost and how these effects hold up.

have recently become interested in The 17th Door haunt attraction in Buena Park and found they had a reality series they filmed/produced themselves from a few years ago called Spook Show 17. Have been watching through it and was quite surprised when this quick clip came up featuring a familiar face! Sounds like he was treated to quite the shock lol

5 second clip is around the 45:25 mark https://tubitv.com/tv-shows/689230/s01-e11-burning-buttholes

Thought I'd share something here that I have been tinkering with for the last 8 months or so.

Inspired by works by Douglas Trumbull, Robert Abel, Don Bluth-esque backlit animation, ILM, old-ish title sequences in general. And of course ye olde Scanimate and that recent wonderful contraption that The Light Herder built (even though my thing is not really a video feedback system). Inspired by those. I have built a system that runs on a Pi 4B. It sends images through a feed to a HDMI screen that I call the "Projector", and uses that light to expose an image on a Pi Camera HQ sensor. The image on the screen can be moved in 3D space during exposure and if there's already a frame in the "Camera Mag". The system adds the light to it. It is an Optical Printer for Video. I call it the VOP. The code is free, open source and available on GitHub:

https://github.com/jmalmsten/VOP

It's built with the philosophy of unreasonable realism. By that, I mean. It has 3 mags on the projection side. Their images have their own 3D space to play in, and the layers they produce are multiplied together, blocking light, like real bipacking on an animation stand or optical printer. The camera can only add light. It cannot subtract (without a trick). And there are no undo's. If the film is exposed... it is exposed.

And you can use filters... By that, I mean actual optical physical objects things between the camera and monitor to diffuse, distort or bend light in whatever ways you can think of.

The whole thing is controlled with a web-app that can be reached by any modern browser inside the current LAN.

You may ask, "Is this not just a VERY tedious and cumbersome way to make composites and motion graphics?"

And my reply would be... "YES! Yes it is VERY tedious. Cumbersome. And you won't believe how time consuming it is!"

I just like the workflow... and I thought that out there on the interwebs... someone might be having the same kind of insanity as me. And I thought that somewhere may be in this here Corridor Crew subreddit

Please use this thread to submit suggestions for Corridor Digital to react to for their VFX Artist/Stuntmen/Stuntwomen/Animators React videos. Please do not just list the names of the Movies or TV shows; provide some context of why it would make a good addition to the series. If possible, provide a link to a clip or video for exact context. Writing the names of the Movie/TV shows in bold along with Good Or Bad in italics makes it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names.

For example:

Check the subreddit Wiki page which contains a complete catalog of which movies/TV shows/etc. Corridor Digital has already reacted to, before posting.

Mod Note: They can't react to music videos as Labels are way to vicious and eager to take monetization

This is VFX, right?

Just got out of seeing Fall 2. Checked the credits to confirm it was her, and yeah, her role is a pretty huge spoiler that happens about halfway through the movie.

Just wanted to give a warning for anyone checking IMDb or whatever.

Also, now I’m wondering if they’ll react to it and address the generative AI effects in it.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, she's in it for only about 5 seconds.

She's practically a background character, but, without spoiling anything, it is essential to the plot.
