The lost art of signage as architecture

if the first two DUNE movies were shot on film

We are living through one of the greatest creative shifts in modern history. As our world transforms economically, socially, and culturally, so too does the way we tell stories. Multimedia entertainment and narrative storytelling have increasingly been reshaped by efficiency, optimization, and cost reduction, often at the expense of artistic exploration and originality. At the same time, artificial intelligence and rapidly advancing technology are redefining what it means to create. These innovations are extraordinary tools, but they should never become substitutes for the human mind. When we rely on algorithms to imagine for us, we risk silencing the very thing that has always given art its power: our own perspective. Ai is also plagiarism, environmentally damaging, and negatively impacted our world. Our greatest ideas are born from curiosity, emotion, struggle, wonder, and lived experience. They come from the imperfect, unpredictable process of being human. Technology can accelerate creation, but it cannot replace imagination. It cannot replicate intuition, empathy, or the spark that turns a thought into a story capable of moving hearts and changing culture. The future of creativity will not be defined by how much we automate. It will be defined by how fiercely we protect the human imagination. Our responsibility is not simply to create more, it is to create with authenticity, courage, and conviction. Because in the end, the stories that endure will never be remembered for the tools that made them. They will be remembered for the humanity that inspired them.

What your favorite TF movie says about you

🎂 Un día como hoy hace 31 años se estrenaba 'Pocahontas' Una de las películas visualmente más bellas de Disney acompañada por la magistral banda sonora compuesta por Alan Menken. Absoluta obra de arte.

7 years ago, our minds were blown over how good rain could look

In honor of Father’s Day, what’s your favorite on-screen father performance of all time?

Recently rewatched JAWS for its 50th birthday in IMAX with @CooleyUrFaceOff this movie is still a ripper no matter how many rewatches! Happy 51st JAWS!

The Well of All Sparks from Transformers One, Designed by Tim Kallok, Gerald De Jesus, Mario Pata, and myself. Truly a team effort. It was the insane team at ILM that brought this set above and beyond! Thank you A-pop and team!

@MattAllsopp1 These are beautifully done! Love the interior painting so much

Among some of the very first images I made for 'Rogue One' on my first week. Jyn's homestead went through lots of changes. My initial idea was to take influence from crop circles for their farm layout. These are a little sloppy, but I think the idea is ok. The only thing to survive was the basic flying V shape for Krennic's shuttle. #starwars #conceptart #rogueone #sketch

@ILMVFX Rest in peace Brian, thank you for the amazing memories.

Our ILM community was deeply saddened at the loss of Brian Johnson. We collaborated with the special effects supervisor on Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Dragonslayer, and years later, Dragonheart. We celebrate Brian's masterful work in the art of cinema, which also included beloved classics like Alien.

I wish kids today knew how hard this intro truly went...

Portfolio day, here are a couple of my works. #art #artwork #jasonscheier #illustration

Steven Spielberg in the 1980s

1979.

What a timeless sequence from Tarzan (1999) 🎥 it was animated by the great Glen Keane.

Daniel, You're obviously missing the point regarding this matter. Training one large AI model can consume nearly 5 times the lifetime emissions of an average American car. Every time an AI handles a prompt, it must process vast statistical algorithms, requiring 4 to 5 times more energy than a standard internet search engine request. Cooling giant stacks of servers requires massive volumes of water. Research indicates that a simple conversation of 20 to 50 AI questions consumes about 500 ml of water, adding up to billions of gallons annually globally. The human affect: For more than two-thirds of workers in the creative industries AI has undermined their jobs. This means fewer human decisions made during the most critical part of the creative process. I'm sorry, but I really enjoy the critical thinking and design problems made from pre-production to post.

@KeeweAAA @ScheierJason Okay, do you have anything else to say regarding my points? I'd like to hear 'em.

@RealGDT @ACROjapan Amazing Guillermo!!!!!

First pass- washes and highlights coming… @ACROjapan
