First saw this as Craigslist post but apparently it kept getting taken down. Now it’s up as a thread on VFxTalk. It’s titled Dear Mr. VFX Supe and makes a few good points about the things that Supes do that drive Comp’rs nuts. There are more than a few laughs here. The open letter includes five things for the VFX Nacho-Grandes to remember like “SHINY THINGS ARE USUALLY REFLECTIVE!” My first instinct is to defend by supervising brethren, but I’ve seen more than my fair share or “knuckle-head” decisions in the past. My favorite being a “greenscreen” shot that was actually photographed against a scrap piece of of blue and green screen put together with gaffer’s tape! I gotta admit it takes a big pair of brass ones to pass something like that along to your crew with a straight face.
