We talk about backlash from reddit about our logo and what we think about that. Later in the episode we discuss Marvel's decision to let go a large group of artists, concept art in animation and how the corporate pressure to reduce costs is pushing AI adoption onto production teams. Get ready to get into the slop of AI (and yes I know the AI spelled generating incorrectly in the thumb). :) Mon, 18 May 2026 04:00:09 +0000 Chris & Graham LOGOGATE! and other sloppy AI nuances 49:50 no 3 l8_YI97Y_So https://youtube.com/watch?v=l8_YI97Y_So Chris breaks down the desire (even without AI) to reduce the front end, heavy labour work to get to the meat of the VFX shots quicker Tue, 12 May 2026 04:00:46 +0000 Chris & Graham Why is Roto and Prep work a prime target 2:00 no 4 uCUojG6U43U https://youtube.com/watch?v=uCUojG6U43U Chris and Graham take inspiration from an article about AI and its impact on the global VFX workforce and how the unsexy work of roto, tracking and pain are in the crosshairs (and maybe always were). It's not all doom and gloom though as there are some encouraging signs in 2026 in regards to global production and recent box office success.
