Inefficiencies in VFX: once again a studio sent us thousands of uncompressed EXR files for lens grids and frame leaders. They just let the camera run for 1 minute on 24fps and repeated that for a dozen lenses. More than 1 Terrabyte. But we only need a single frame for each lens and it could have been a 200 kByte JPEG. 😳
Don‘t want to know what the client pays IBM for their Aspera cloud storage and egress fees.

I've gotten really into "VFX Artists React", lately. It is kind of fascinating.

Avatar 3 is showing in high frame rate or 3D or 3D with high frame rate. I haven't been paying close attention, but the last time I saw HFR was for The Hobbit (and to me it looked odd).
So is HFR back now? Or is it just for James Cameron's big budget?
