Why do we need a VFX Association? The most critical issue today is the absence of a standardized minimum price for any kind of shots like rotoscopy, paint, compositing, or 3D work. There's currently no fixed minimum price for any of these services. New studios entering the market are accepting projects at any price just to secure business, which leads to market instability. For instance, when a studio quotes a project at 10 lakhs, covering employee salaries, rent, and other overheads, and then another studio undercuts that quote by picking up the project for just 4 lakhs, it not only results in financial loss for the initial studio but also impacts the employees. This practice deteriorates the VFX market further, benefiting only a select few. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a VFX Association that can establish a minimum price framework to ensure the sustainable growth of our industry. #VFXNEEDSAssociation #vfx #vfxunion #vfxgrowth #artistrights #vfxmarket #vfxcareer #indianvfx

#aivideo: Destination complete storytelling in the next 12-18 months. How? The quality and consistency is already good (especially with upscaling) - what we still need is better control over the movement of camera and characters, consistency within a given scene/environment, character consistency, better control over style/color grading/cinematography etc. (currently being done with image-to-video). I'm a big believer in 3D pre-visualization as being a key part of this workflow as well. Just as OpenAI's o1 model has demonstrated the increase in ability you get by taking more time with inference, I think we'll move to a process where #aifilmmakers will assume that there requests will take more than a couple of seconds to render (maybe overnight) - but with a much longer and higher quality result that they can use in the morning. #genai #aivideo #minimax #aifilmmaking

In filmmaking, there’s a lot of fun that goes around on a set, especially when it comes to collaborating with directors, actors and crew. But there's another stage where collaboration is just as vital, though less visible: The 3D world. When my team and I at 5149 Films set out to create this video for Mivi, we weren’t just working with computers—we were crafting a reality. Our 3D process was no less rigorous than a live-action shoot. Conceptualising the story, detailing storyboards, lighting and rendering, every step required intense focus and teamwork. We even motion captured the transformer so it felt authentic and engaging. And we did it all with Unreal Engine to unlock world class animation right here at our studio. A special shoutout to Midhula Devabhaktuni for pushing the boundaries! Proud to share what’s possible when art meets technology. Viswanadh Kandula Shorya J.

I whipped up a short scene to practice my lighting, composition, and camera rigging chops as I start creating more assets for my portfolio. The character was downloaded from mixamo. I created the scene in Blender and rendered it with classic EEVEE. It took ~30 minutes to render the scene. I also created the foley audio and soundtrack using Logic Pro X. The whole project took around 2 hours, including the audio and render times. I realize that my mathematical research tends to lack elements of storytelling, so I am going to see how I can combine my procedural animations with this more traditional approach in future renders. #3danimation #animation #shortfilm #cutscene #mixamo #blender #render #soundtrack #composer #foley #lighting #camerarigging #3dartist
