I guess this is 2026?

A colleague that is bit better connected with stronger personal network has declined to introduce me to any of his studio contacts because "What if they like you more than me?" It makes me sad.

Could VFX evolve into a broader form of experience engineering?

During a conversation I had the feeling that VFX could be the beginning of something broader, like kind of "experience engineering"

I took some time to write the idea down here: Beyond Special Effects

I’d love some feedbacks from people working in the field. I know it is a big extrapolation and very prospective, with a little touch of sci-fi, but I’m curious how far it really feels from becoming a possibility for VFX professionals.

(PS I have an artist and software engineer background)

Looking for Blackmagic fusion compers! (Fusion only, please)

Hi all! I've got bids out for three projects, all three are up in the air for the next couple weeks.

My go-to folks are booked out for the next month, so I'm looking for a few Fusion based compositors to bring on. Day rates negotiable, still working out budgets, no bullshit low-balling I promise. Ideally aiming to bring on a mix of skill/price range. Trying to do my part to help juniors build their reels and actually earning a proper rate.

All remote. If you're not willing to work in Fusion, please do not reach out, my mini-studio (aka me and whoever else is brought onto the project) needs to work in Fusion for posterity sake.

If you're interested please DM me your reel/portfolio and rate! The projects won't be awarded for a few weeks so delivery wouldn't likely be until end of September at earliest. Main timezone will be PST, but doesn't matter to me where you're based as long as you've got skills and decent internet.
