Your reminder that realism is not a universal creative goal. In fact, realism is rarely the most important art goal, even when it hits the list.
Anyone telling you a machine’s realism matters more than human agency and human choices in creation doesn’t understand what they’re working (read: fucking) with.
This is soul crushing.

A few images from my recent workshop this week, when it had snowed, and more fell during the morning.
Winter is lingering...

Just a couple of goobers viewing the outside world, next to a few Mastodon plushies.

I know 100% that people will argue with me over this, but I miss when movies were professionally lit, when actors were intentionally blocked, and when more than teal, orange and beige were allowed to be on the screen. The medium has something to do with it--film made a lot of these things fundamentally necessary--but I think it's more complex than just that. The last few years' movies are just not pleasant to look at, with very few exceptions, and the change occurred sometime around 2015.
