Watched #AvatarFireAndAsh on #imax 3D and although it felt more.like the greatest hits of the first two movies, leave it to Cameron to make a 3+ hour fulm seem.like a brisk 90 minute one. As.always the action, the visuals.and #VFX were stunning. Loved Varang #WetaFX
Noticed that the #ILM credits were way longer than anticipated.
Also I got a nifty lenticular card.out of it (they now charge extra to rent the 3D glasses) #movies

‘Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes’: Weta FX VFX Supervisor Erik Winquist Uses New Tech For Added Realism

It was my birthday the other day. Main present from my husband was a Sylvester McCoy as Radagast sculpt from Weta in New Zealand. I love how full of character it is! I did not enjoy the Hobbit trilogy of movies, though loved Lord of the Rings. But his performance and character were a rare highlight. #birthday #sculpture #figurine #Tolkien #LordOfTheRings #LOTR #TheHobbit #Hobbit #Filmstodon #OorWullie #SylvesterMcCoy #WetaFx #Weta #PeterJackson #Art #Wizards #Fantasy #Films #Movies #DoctorWho

I like how that #WetaFX guy casually mentioned that they used some #OpenStreetMap data to model the ruin city in Planet of the Apes 5(?) on the #CorridorCrew couch.
#HappyBirthday, @openstreetmap !
(Also, that the orangutan reference was an actual ape from #Wuppertal.)

This news sounds so Epic.

Glad to hear Wētā FX will hire back most of the people it sold to Unity. $1.6B burned, back to square one. Good job, Unity.
But I think it's the right move for Unity to go and "refocus". Although they didn't really state what they were going to refocus on. What was Unity's core business again? Oh right, monetization and ads. 😛 #WetaFX #IronSource #unity -

Looks like #unity is firing the people it bought from Weta. They spent $1.6B on tech and team, did nothing of note with the tech, now letting the team go. Great job, Unity. Quote from article: "it's clear that we will reduce the number of things we are doing overall". How about you cut the monetization crap and focus on your wreck of a game engine, like I've been suggesting for a long while? https://www.reuters.com/technology/unity-software-cut-38-staff-company-reset-2023-11-28/ #wetafx

@bevan and a great segue into their films. Out of interest, did this model come about after they did Avatar? The tie-ins and story behind the #Kauri and the features of the film are very strong. I wonder if you could help the cause on the back of the forthcoming sequel? #WetaFX #Weta #WetaDigital #Avatar ##waikato
