Last week we spoke about naming conventions, which got inspired by a topic covered on [Lifehacker] 1 and [43 Folders] 2. A great start to a more streamlined workflow. But what good is a great filename, when you are unable to find your files in the chaotic folder structure you might have?
For exactly this reason we will talk about how to get an optimized folder structure for multi-media projects. I will obviously have a bias to look at it from a compositors/3D guys/VFX supervisors view, but I am also able to accommodate you editors and other departments.
Is CG Dull and Boring? Are We?
[Keith Lango] 1 has an interesting article on his blog concerning [CG pictures/movies and how they have become boring] 2. Keith is of the opinion that the CG look has kind of worn of. We no longer have the “wow” moments when watching a nice full CG movie. And I must say I know what he means.
Nowadays every guy in the backrow knows about 3D and VFX and that it isn’t a secret art.
Feeling Like a Child at Play - Do You Know That Feeling?
I was on set last week and I felt like back in school again. People preparing lamps and set pieces, just like preparing for a school dance.
I have this feeling more often lately when talking to my colleagues. A feeling like a teenager at play. Like me and my buddy writing a script and discussing how we solve this issue and approach that scene. A feeling of adventure, of doing something like the big guys.
