@AnishA_Moonka @Idonnowhatoput They love to say this but this project is using CGI and not only as replacement, literally was in different vfx houses the past couple of years

the second one. chris miller clarified this on x after it caused confusion. the film still has 2,018 vfx shots, they just never used a physical green or blue screen on set. everything was built and lit practically, then vfx was layered on top for things like wire removal, ceiling replacements, and augmenting rocky’s animation. miller said green screens are typically “used in lieu of building sets,” and they wanted the opposite approach

You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real. The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later. Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him. Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman. Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact. 95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.

Happy St.Patrick’s Day. We DUBlin. 🍀

So according to Americans logic venazuela owns baseball now right?😂 fucking clowns

@TalkinBaseball_ So baseball venezuelas sport now right lol

Team USA loses in the finals for the second straight WBC

@mbrleigh Sony animation marketing team, same as the movie.

animating Conan O’Brien into a scene from KPop Demon Hunters for a bit in the cold opening is the biggest sign respect anyone’s given animation at the Oscars in YEARS and I can’t wait to find out who did it 😭😭 brava

@canucks5678 Using Conor as an example is crazy, guy is literally maga.

@NathanGraviteh All good, at least our players weren’t on that call with the pedo so 🤷

There are people today that have to go back to watching the 2026 Vancouver Canucks. Pray for them.

@nucks0 I thought I would be devastated by yesterday loss but it’s just awesome to see the downfall.

There's nothing more entertaining than watching all of Quinn Hughes' obsessive fanbase turn on him. 🤣🤣🤣

Seeing what the Americans are saying online after the hockey game today… I’ve never been so proud to be Canadian. Goddamn, this country is amazing.

Forever proud of this team. ❤️
