Stoked to launch our @VFXSociety On-Set VFX Data Collection and Usage Guide. Over the r past year we have been working to out this out from the VES Technology Committee. You can find the guide here ves-on-set-data.org/dashboard/?tab…

SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement on terms for a successor contract to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical Contracts covering motion pictures, scripted primetime dramatic television, streaming content and new media.

@BryanNHolt @AnthropicAI I don’t think it squandered if you’re asking the right questions on transparency, compensation and data provenance of how that MCP & foundation was made. People are quick to forget that.

In light of the recent @AnthropicAI and @Blender news. I want to just bring this back up. Again I don’t have a dog in this fight. I use Houdini, Nuke, and other packages to realize client visions. But it’s worth mentioning. My two cents, I firmly believe an opportunity here was squandered. 🤷‍♂️

Rest in peace Danny Yount. The godfather of title sequences. Our industry became emptier today.

@SirDustyDirks Each Peer Group has its own guidelines and review process it’s the same for both Academies. It’s reviewed and stated in submission process. Academy dictates that to be eligible for awards, projects must demonstrate that a human was at the "heart of the creative authorship".

@Filmbot Very interesting, How does the Academy define AI and how are films audited for AI usage?

FU Cancer. Rest Easy Danny.

@Oddernod No 😳

Danny Yount.

@BryanNHolt Thanks for sharing.

The VES just dropped something every VFX artist, filmmaker, and student needs to read. The On-Set VFX Data Collection and Usage Guide. It's Free, open, and industry defining. 🔗 ves-on-set-data.org Here's why it matters 🧵

Latest tech experiment using a hybrid approach of hand animating and AI motion transfer. Using Seedance for motion transfer from my video to character. Hand animated the skateboard in Ae. All input using my art and even getting my old self to land a few kickflips for reference🛹

Some more good coverage on our launch. Thx @beforesmag beforesandafters.com/2026/05/01/ves…

This is *HUGE* for those behind the scenes in VFX. Thank you @h20warrior @Filmbot and the rest of the folk in @VFXSociety who supported the effort. 🙏 1000s of hours will be saved from debating directory structure alone 🤣 beforesandafters.com/2026/05/01/ves…

@vepus @coreysfrost @VFXSociety Thanks. 🙏

@Filmbot @coreysfrost @VFXSociety Great doc!

@BestMovieMom Okay nope. We did this scene and there was actually a lot of added cgi makeup for the goop on his face … I was the VFX supervisor for this at BUF Cie in Paris. So please stop saying this kind of misinformation without digging a little more in how things are made.

@agraphafx I know that rig and that Aruco tower 😎
