#CG animation

[phantomarine]

For those who didn’t follow me from Twitter, you might not know that I’m a CG/VFX character animator by day. Here are all the movies I’ve worked on!

Captain America: Winter Soldier - digi-double stuff on the quinjet bridge fight, lots of shield bouncing animation

Sausage Party - too many things to mention, all of them suitably unspeakable

Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania - I animated the Fish Milk scene (and I’m sorry)

Hotel Transylvania 3 - lots of random shots here and there, biggest one is the dog running up the kraken tentacle at the end

Aquaman - more digidouble stuff, sharks and fish and Atlantean machines

Pokémon: Detective Pikachu - the Mr Mime scene of him putting out the match, some Mewtwo fight scene stuff, crowd animation

Sonic the Hedgehog - uncredited work on the original version

I pivoted to cute kids TV animation a few years ago so no more movies for me (probably) but it’s been a ride! And having a webcomic to work on has kept me sane throughout~

The only animated movie remakes I ever want to see are remakes of classic old CG movies, that keep them CG and just implement newer technologies/techniques to make them look more alive & visually stunning, without any major art direction or plot changes

This car radio from Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (2022) appears to be based on the real life Océanic "Surcouf" radio, made in France, in the 1950s

Stuff I Watched in 2024 – Orion and the Dark (Movie):

What is it?

Orion and the Dark is DreamWorks trying as hard as humanly possible to make their own Inside Out. It's directed by a guy who worked in the art department on a bunch of the Troll movies and is about a boy with an anxiety disorder befriending the personification of the dark.

Things of Note:

Oh shit is that the voice of Luca? They really do want to be Pixar.

And it was written by the guy who wrote... Being John Malkovich!?

Based on a children's book with the same name by Emma Yarlett. Haven't read it because it's for literal babies but what little is up for free looks pretty cute.

Into the Spiderverse really ruined most traditional CG animation for me. The movie looks good but it just can't hold a candle to some of the more stylized stuff that's come out recently. Also, some of the humans look a bit off.

The movie introduces a weird framing device towards the middle that threatens to be pointless and dumb but more than justifies itself by the end.

God damn, Dark. Your friends kind of suck.

I found the third act fight (the kind you see in every movie like this) forced and dumb but everything else about Night and Orion's friendship was well handled.

The movie makes a lot of effort to go in a different direction than you might be expecting early on. I appreciated that.

VERY solid ending that has a lot of fun with it's premise.

Final Verdict:

Fun and surprisingly heartfelt. Not perfect by any means but ~leagues~ better than a direct to Netflix Pixar clone has any right to be. It should have at least gotten a theatrical release IMO.

On the other hand the main character is named Orion and at no point did his belt become important. 0/10 stars.

Stuff I've watched so far:

Orion and the Dark (Surprisingly good. 0/10 stars).

Day Job (Very Australian)

Coming June, 2023.

Watch "THE HUMAN FUTURE: Official Trailer" on YouTube

For some time, I've been an admirer of Melodysheep, who combines science, gorgeous visuals and enthralling music. The first video I saw of theirs, "Timelapse Of The Future" is still a firm favourite of mine, and I loved their "Life Beyond" trilogy so much, I playlisted all three in sequence, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing their presentation of the possible futures and possibilities for humanity.

Assuming it has one.

More of that not-exactly-live standup you've been craving. Can you get all the references in Zom's jokes?
