I like blue skies, storms and crazy seaplanes. 3d artist, light/visdev/stylized. https://cara.app/azazel https://www.artstation.com/azazel

1/ Funny how Predator Badlands feels like it would be a much better movie if it was not trying to be a Predator movie. There is a lot to enjoy there, but the heart of the movie is Thia, not Dek. She feels so... alive, and that is great to watch.

I liked the third Avatar move immensely. Some highlights: - Lighting (Hard sun! Dappled shadows! Legible and beautiful bight shots! Unthinkable today ;P) - Every time Varang appears, the lighting is a level or two better than the excellent baseline ;) 1/n

Loved the F1 movie . A great movie movie, but really, it makes me feel seen. I don't race cars, but I do ride bikes, make art or walk the streets with a camera, chasing those fleeting moments when it all goes quiet and it feels like flying. Beautiful love letter to the flow state.

Dead Reckoning was good, but quite a bit more serious than I expected. I do miss the mission humour. More importantly, it now feels like M:I almost exists in the same universe as Terminator - Entity, Skynet, always same ai monstrosity that needs to be killed.

Rewatching Spielbergs Duel... needles to say it's excellent. The tension, the framing and blocking of the shots, that monstrous truck, great stuff. Only redundant thing is the voiceover that pops up sometimes. The visuals depict inner thoughts very precisely, no need for words.

Who came up with the idea that typing in natural language is the right way to create, edit and interact with images? Not to mention working with 3d scenes... This is so dumb and inefficient and frustrating, there is a reason we moved on from commandline interfaces years ago...

Fourty Four Forever! Inspired by a real place, real situation, somewhere in Czech Republic. Something seen driving by, the image stayed in my mind and grew a bit. Mech design is damn hard. Blender and some photoshop trickery and paintover. #b3d #blender

"I think, who eats who, is something to be decided... some other time, don't you think?" Credits links on Artstation, as I used a lot of assets from sketchfab. Gotta love those museum collections there. Blender, Cycles, some paintover.

Maybe we should build a grassroots alternative to that corporate crap? Go back to forums maybe, and let ai users like ai posts and feed on itself until they die? It really was better in the old days....

Rewatching "Super 8". Liking it overall, but 2 things stand out: Beautiful, old school cinematography, especially in night scenes, and overall storytelling, of the show (or not show :) ), don't tell kind. Feels like watching an artifact of a forgotten art tbh.
