Things I Learned From Recent VFX Shots (Patreon)
Content
Not the video I thought I was going to make, but I'd already made the intro so just ran with it!
I'm going to be prepping for a few shoots here the next week or two, so I might be a bit busier than usual :D
First off- on the chance you've never seen the movie (or even if you have)- seriously, I love this friggin' scene from Rescuers Down Under. Just the amount of good decisions, mind boggling artistry, animation prowess, and incredible soundtrack always gets me pumped :P. I mentioned to a composer friend that I nostalgically missed the era of ludicrously catchy in-your-face Williams-esque soundtracks and themes, and he correctly pointed out that soundtracks today are just as competent, if not in general even more finessed and technically exemplary, and he's totally right, I just like humming the theme on the drive home from the theater- it's this little bit you get to take with you.
