Super interesting read about how Greg Fraser use Unreal Engine for Dune 2! I love how this tool is being implemented into workflows and how to make creative decisions

Cinematographer Greig Fraser talks about using UE on Dune: Part 2, calling it an incredible tool in pre-production. I wholeheartedly agree that planning and previsualizing complex shots 🌅, in a virtual sense - even if you plan to shoot them on location 🌎 eventually, is a great creative gift. It’s not only useful for creatives but also for production management 📋 and creating replicas of a location to map out your production village, and more 🚐🚗. We built a prototype app that lets you explore such virtual environments and digital twins using a VR headset I predict soon, Google will just have this as a paid plug in 🌐. It already has its tiles available for development but I’m talking about using your phone as an instant Cine camera actor 🎥 (enabling UE tools on mobile) and allow multi user experience, on a persistent (metaverse) digital twin geographic location, in high definition. It will become ubiquitous to the process, weaving in unity the virtual and the real world. Using Google and UE: https://lnkd.in/gYPfmtX3

Imagine a scene so real, you feel the heat of the dragon's breath or the rumble of the collapsing building. This tangible magic isn't sorcery, it's the power of practical effects. While CGI (Computer generated Image) has revolutionized filmmaking, there's something undeniably special about the physicality and artistry of practical effects. At Varnan, we understand the enduring charm of these techniques. While we embrace the possibilities of technology, we believe in complementing it with the timeless craft of practical effects. . . . . . #VarnanFilms #VarnanFilms #StoryTeller #Storytellingsolution #Practicaleffect #filmmaking #Cinemamagic #Moviemaking #ArtistryOverCGI #VarnanCraftsmanship #Behindthescenes #FilmIndustry #MovieProduction #FilmmakingLife #VFX #Timelesscraft #Moviespecialeffects #Sensorycinema #Realisticscenes #Varnaninnovation #FilmCraftsmanship #CGIRevolution #Practicalartistry #VarnanFilmmaking #CraftingRealism #PracticalEffectsCharm #TechnologyAndTradition

Here is another trailer for my short film, “Black Waters.” This film is a deeply personal exploration of returning to a homeland that feels both alien and intimately familiar. It captures the profound courage required to confront and carry one’s pain and shame into a new community, in the hopes of finding acceptance and healing. With its powerful visuals and compelling narrative, “Black Waters” probes the complex themes of identity, belonging, and the inherent human need for acceptance. It illustrates that 'home' transcends physical spaces, and a sanctuary we yearn for, especially in times of uncertainty. Film was created using the following: Animation: Maya, Adobe Animate Generator: Runway, Luma Labs, Haiper Sound & Edit: CapCut, After Effects

In the cinematic context, a frame is one of the many still images that make up a film. Each frame represents an individual snapshot that, when played in rapid succession with other frames, creates the illusion of motion. #ESCAT #Uninter https://lnkd.in/eH7iXttZ

🙃 Bit of a busy week, but here we have studio intros. Nonetheless we have Studio Titles 📽 An introduction sequence played at the start of a film to introduce the studio that made the film. These have progressively gotten longer over time. 🤔 Which one have you seen that stands out? 🎲 It usually shows off different aspects of all of the film that that studio provides and has theming that mixes in with it. Some are short, sweet and quick but others are really drawn out.  (Look at you Marvel Studios!) 🥇 Use this as the start of a film. Lots of other motion graphic techniques get used for this.

Presentation with an animated short film "The Root" It is my first experiense in frame by frame technique.

The CGI in The Matrix: A Game Changer for Cinema As we look back on the cinematic milestones of the past few decades, one film that continually stands out is The Matrix. Released in 1999, its groundbreaking use of CGI set a new benchmark for visual effects in the film industry. From the iconic "bullet-dodging" scene to the jaw-dropping action sequences, the film's innovative use of technology wasn't just about spectacle—it redefined storytelling. The seamless integration of CGI with live-action shots created a visually stunning and immersive experience that captivated audiences and inspired countless filmmakers. The Matrix didn’t just push the boundaries of what was possible with CGI; it revolutionised the way stories could be told on screen. It remains a testament to the power of visionary thinking and technical excellence in the art of filmmaking.
