VFXhack

To help ring in 2008 I thought that I’d share with you my resolutions hoping that you will follow suit and help make our world of VFX a better place.

1. I promise never to use the word “virtual” again. I’m starting to annoy my self at this point
2. I resolve to no longer lose sleep over when we will finally come out of the uncanny valley.
3. I will no longer fly into a fit a rage when a Hollywood blockbuster based on a comic book is out of continuity.
4. I’ve decided to stop using big words and phrases like “particle simulations” and “3D tracking” in order to confuse clients.
5. I acknowledge that I spend way too much time taking on-line surveys that rate my geekyness.
6. I refuse to get excited by any announcements about hardware or software the promises to revolutionize the industry.
7. I will not Hulk out when someone on set suggests in all seriousness that something be fixed in post.
8. Never again will I use the phrase “split the difference” when asked to comment on a shot and I really don’t have anything else to say.
9. I’ll stop needlessly truncating words in order to sound cool. No more “mo-blur” and “de-satch” for me.
10. And finally, I resolve not to blather on endlessly in Blog posts about obscure topics that only the nerdiest of VFX nerds could comprehend.

Oops, looks like number 10 is already out the window. Hope you all have better luck with yours this year.
