| Post subject: | ADI studios reference videos |
Studio ADI who did the effects for Alien 3, 4, AVP, AVP:R has a youtube channel. I was researching how I could upgrade the cannon backpack setup as I have gotten some other pieces further along and found these that would be good reference materials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q9V_1aXe2w AVP behind the scenes of the predator ADI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N58PkPAQzA Predator 2018 emissary predator concepts ADI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB6OAeztItg filming AVP the elder predators ADI BTS https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ...

I will probably get links to more reference videos then, but they would be behind a pay wall of sorts, but, apparently there is a big push to digitize the substantial libraries of these creative schools. |

The last 2 year annihilated productions in LA, and generally, if you're not already one of the gang (see "cronyism"), opportunities are tough to find. Unless you want to sell your soul, produce end products that are embarrassing, be told to work off-the-clock, not get paid consistently, be insulted daily, etc. and work at Thingergy, lol. When I was there, the owner cared more about just having bodies in the shop more than what their capabilities were. |

Plus such an approach guarantees no incentive to be loyal... |

I quit during the builds of the awful Borderlands 3 statues, and about half the crew I was working with left soon after. Quality and safety were never big ideals at Thingergy when I was there; it's one of many reasons why I left. And that's kind of typical in that industry. There's always more cattle entering the chute, so what do most shops care about turnover? |

It takes a very long time and great effort to find a good employer and get in there. Fortunately a lot of employers are now having to be more delicate and careful as they can not get ready replacements for high turn over toxic environments... |

I say we tuen the legacy into a skull n bones/mafia level gamg where we're all in business together somehow. haha sorry if I derailed. It is really interesting to research how larger FX shops came into existence. Seems like a combination of things, the right place at the right time, the high skill level, location, some big breaks, insane work ethic ect ect. I really love "Volpin Props" also, Harrison built that from nothing. I watched the whole things on social media.. That guy is a natural born engineer. |

Harrison always seems to work insane hours, and even then, he's probably more of an exception than the rule. The large SFX houses we know today come from a time when you could get lots of money and time to do incredible things. Modern production has too many bean-counters, and CGI didn't help matters. |
