Joey and Addy tackle the breaking news of Technicolor's potential collapse and what it means for the 15,000 employees worldwide at iconic VFX houses like The Mill and MPC. They analyze how the future of VFX might shift toward smaller, specialized teams and discuss DNEG's strategic acquisition of Metaphysic AI. The conversation shifts to the escalating tax incentive battles keeping productions away from L.A., with the U.K. raising its relief to 40% and Netflix investing $1B in Mexico. Plus, they examine several AI products recently laid to rest, including the Humane Ai Pin and Skyglass's virtual production app. A sobering but essential episode on the rapidly evolving state of the film and tech industries.

The conversation also covers the impacts of virtual production on actor performances and the shifts in collaboration it brings to VFX workflows. This is a must-listen for anyone curious about the cutting-edge of filmmaking innovation.   Table of Contents Introduction (00:00:00) Introducing Xavier Bernasconi (00:00:03) Xavier's Background and Journey (00:00:46) From Proskier to Visual Effects (00:00:46) Developing Compositing Software (00:02:05) Becoming a VFX Supervisor (00:03:40) Masters of the Air Project (00:04:17) Overview and Initial Thoughts (00:04:25) Complexity and Challenges (00:05:27) Virtual Production Decision (00:05:46) Logistical and Creative Reasons (00:06:11) Comparison to Traditional Green Screen (00:06:57) Challenges and Limitations of Virtual Production (00:09:18) Technological Advancements and Limitations (00:09:55) Limitations with Unreal Engine (00:12:03) Preparation and Pressure on Set (00:13:35) Workflow and Collaboration (00:14:09) Pressure on VFX Team (00:16:48) Current State and Future of Virtual Production (00:22:02) Infancy and Potential for Growth (00:22:09) Advantages and Limitations (00:22:36) Virtual Production and Final Pixel (00:26:59) Misconceptions and Post-Production Work (00:27:33) Developing an End-to-End Pipeline (00:28:29) Virtual Production in Episodic vs. Feature Films (00:31:48) Prevalence in Episodic Content (00:31:53) Blurring Lines Between Episodic and Feature Budgets (00:33:30) Proprietary vs. Out-of-the-Box Tools (00:34:53) Use of Unreal Engine and Cost of Setup (00:35:43) Virtual Production for Previs and Pitching (00:36:27) Quick and Cheap Iteration (00:37:10) Benefits for Certain Types of Directors (00:38:14) Collaboration in Virtual Production vs. Traditional Post (00:38:36) Real-Time Collaboration and Creativity (00:39:15) Challenges of Remote Work (00:39:21) Actor Reactions to Virtual Production (00:42:48) Immersion and Performance Benefits (00:43:31) Conclusion (00:44:41) Appreciation and Wrap-Up (00:44:41)   Memorable Quotes "I love telling stories. I felt that I was drawn more to the end of the pipeline, more to the beginning of the pipeline, so I was more drawn into lighting and compositing." Virtual production was the most logical choice for Masters of the Air due to logistical, budgetary and creative reasons. Virtual production is still in its infancy with lots of room for technological development. Extraction of foreground elements from LED screens is an important area of research. Virtual production fosters real-time collaboration and creativity compared to traditional segmented workflows. However, on-set experience and mentorship is still crucial. Actors appreciate virtual production as it helps their performances by providing interactive environments rather than pure green screen.   Xavier Bernasconi Bio Xavier Bernasconi is a VFX Supervisor at DNEG. Originally from Italy, he now lives in Canada. His recent projects include Masters of the Air, Mad Max Furiosa and Godzilla x Kong.

Simone Coco, esperto di fama mondiale dei VFX, gli effetti visivi del cinema e della televisione, ci ha raccontato la sua vita e i suoi successi Dietro la buona riuscita di un film ci sono molte maestranze, dei veri e propri talenti che spesso vengono sottovalutati. È il caso di Simone Coco, cagliaritano che collabora con la Walt Disney Company come supervisore dei VFX, ossia degli effetti speciali visivi. Lo abbiamo intervistato in merito ai suoi successi, tra cui spiccano senza dubbio le due nomination agli Oscar 2024 per “Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” e per “Napoleon”. Di quest'ultimo, ho personalmente apprezzato molto la resa scenica della battaglia di Austerlitz. Durante la sua intervista, Coco ci ha raccontato la sua storia professionale, svelandoci i dietro le quinte di questo settore. Ci ha anche dato dei consigli per i giovani che vogliono approcciarsi a questo mondo. Qui la manualità, la creatività e la tecnologia servono per creare dei risultati sorprendenti e realistici. Insomma, è un mondo in cui si concretizzano i sogni degli spettatori con immagini sempre più ricche e precise. Simone Coco ha lasciato la Sardegna nel 2002 per andare a Londra a imparare la lingua. Dopo un periodo in Spagna, è tornato in Gran Bretagna e ha frequentato un corso di specializzazione sul compositing agli Escape Studios di Londra, un'accademia sugli effetti visivi. Subito dopo ha lavorato alla società di post-produzione Rushes per tre anni. In seguito, ha aperto con alcuni colleghi il dipartimento tv alla Dneg, dove ha trascorso sei anni. Dal 2019 è alla ILM, l'Industrial Lights and Magic, prima parte della Lucasfilm e ora parte della Walt Disney Company. Ha collaborato anche con Paolo Sorrentino, con cui ha realizzato le acclamate serie tv “The Young Pope” e “The New Pope” e il film in due parti “Loro”.
