Alan Wake 2 is one of the best video games ever made! It’s up there with Silent Hill 2, Death Stranding and Elden Ring as the very best I’ve ever played. Congratulations to the @remedygames and @SamLakeRMD . This is a masterpiece, a work of art! I couldn’t stop playing; I even did

Actually, it was filmed with a Mini-DV camera in SD so a DVD is the correct format for this. The BluRay would have to be upscaled so there’s no point! Just grab a DVD on eBay and experience it as it was originally released!

Oh look, it’s that film that was all ‘filmed for real’ but it turned out to have 2000+ VFX shots! 🤷‍♂️

A groundbreaking moment for VFX. Highly recommend the BluRay, it’s dirt cheap and it has so many behind the scenes about all of the film’s production including the CGI

I have a feeling that something got broken & lost this time and it won’t come back! So many VFX houses are struggling and so many people were laid off. Also so many talented artists moved on! I want to be optimistic but not sure we will ever go back to normal! I hope it does! 😔

Why would we want to make a ‘camera-free’ film? I love cameras 🎥 they are great and they film the real world! You can also get some fresh air while filming outside… 😂 They have many health benefits 😎

Please don’t get me wrong! I love the work but I feel the explosion was a bit underwhelming! I think it should have been done with CGI. DNEG would have done a stellar job as they did on Interstellar (pardon the pun) But congratulations to the team @dneg for the achievement.

The current anti-CGI sentiment on social media is a problem. We, artists, need to be more vocal & stop the dissemination of misleading behind-the-scenes videos. I'll start: Here's an article I wrote about the 'no-CGI' problem pledging the VFX industry:

I'm going to love when the VFX breakdowns drop later in the year for the Oscars! Yes they flew the planes, yes some of it was practical but let's not forget the 400+ (and counting), VFX artists, on IMDB. A lot of those BGs, mountains & planes are full CG!

It’s very cool but they haven’t seen CGI lately! It would look so much better than this. You can see it’s a miniature by the lack of detail and the scale of the flames. CGI these days can be so invisible that people don’t even notice it anymore!
