The latest issue of CGWORLD, the magazine that covers news from the Japanese animation/VFX industry is a feature on Science Saru's The Ghost In The Shell. Perhaps I should get a copy- link.amazon/B0eZMCTRf #攻殻機動隊
Finally saw #SpiderManBrandNewDay at a VES screening in North Van. Excellent movie, and the last scene was a real tearjerker for me. 🥲 Congrats to all who worked on the film, especially my friends in VFX. ( art work by Canadian artist Drake Landon )
The cover illustration for the upcoming Criterion Collection release of #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS is by Ami Thompson, who also served as art director on the film. Check out the art book for more of her beautiful visdev work- halcyonrealms.com/books/the-ar...

Cannot tell you just how much I’m enjoying Science Saru’s The Ghost In The Shell series. These Motoko gags are straight up killing me lol #攻殻機動隊
Lovely, quick visual effects breakdown of Mr. Wolf's work on "Backrooms" (2026). 'Moving through a wall that doesn't really exist' shots are harder than you think, and these are fantastic. youtu.be/-h0gNF8BmfY?...

Turn off your phone. I think letting go of digital technology opens you up to your natural punk, to your natural self, whereas when we're mediated by this thing all the time it changes your attention span. When your attention span shrinks, you feel less empathy, and you get numbed out. How do you get back to your real self? Through punk, through music, through art - in my view. It was art that helped me. You'll feel better when you keep the phone as a tool to get to the IRL, not to be the IRL. And the more we get into fucking AI, you're not going to want to trust [your phone] anyway, so why not get off it now? It's punk to turn off your phone; you're walking away from the herd.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7awd7zf56kmm6apkp7obooxg/bafkreigxsnr26qhtde5ia77py5qibelv2k4aep4slimvdadcnhf66zp6fm)

I wish well-paid actors would spend just one day sitting in on visual effects reviews for the movie they are starring in, then take that personal experience and knowledge in good faith* into their press junket interviews. Maybe the VFX crew would be shit on a little bit less. *this is key
