This is super cool and fun. And a fairly approachable workflow if you’re comfortable with 3D animation. Hope we see a lot more of this!

The orange is not super vibrant. I love orange but I don’t love this. The blue is more Indigo, the kind of you haven’t seen in movies in a decade because colorists nudge it toward teal. The silver is nearly white and has a very pleasing “truth in materials” vibe, especially on the camera mesa.

My favorite iPhone cases are available for pre-order for the 17 Pro models. Detachable grip and easy mounting of a variable ND filter, minimal bulk when de-rigged.

I made a Tape Night promo video for my pal Jeremy’s screening series at @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social . The theme for this one is New York movies, and I was especially happy to get the 1976 Kong remake in there.

I leaned heavily on @maxonredgiant.bsky.social ’s awesome VHS plug-in. (CC @prolost.com )

I customized ChatGPT by telling it to be concise. So it adds extra nonsense to its responses telling me how concise and no-nonsense it’s being.

This developer email from Apple kinda just shows off how great iOS 26 would look if it wasn’t glassy.

If you do pick up a Sony RX1R III, save yourself $250 and get this third-party lens hood: Haoge LH-S245N Bayonet Square Metal Lens Hood

If you beg Sony for 10 years to make a camera, you’re kinda obligated to buy it, right?

Sony caught us all out with the surprise announcement of the RX1R III, which updates the 9-year-old full-frame compact with a 61 MP sensor and their latest AF. There's more upgrades but also some cons that could be deal-breakers. Find out more in my quick preview at www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSFN...

Prolost Beta subscribers are about to get Prolost Handcrank 2, an update to one of my longest-running After Effects presets that creates a realistic simulation of a hand-cranked camera.

I cannot wait to see the VFX breakdowns for F1. Once again VFX Supervisor Ryan Tudhope will be a victim of his own success — the (ample and pervasive) work is so seamless that everyone will think it was all in-camera, just like Top Gun: Maverick.

The Role of VFX in Bringing "F1: The Movie" to Life
One of the most innovative uses of VFX in "F1: The Movie" was the technique of re-skinning cars. Instead of relying solely on CGI models, the filmmakers used real Formula 2 cars during filming.

Cool to see it spelled out with such clear intention.
“George Lucas gave us our terms of reference on #StarWars and we have abided by them. ‘Everything,’ he said, ‘must relate to Earth, to what we know about our own planet.’ The Star Wars pictures are not science fiction.” - original trilogy production designer Norman Reynolds
