“War for the Planet of the Apes” from Weta Digital could well be on its way to the elusive VFX Oscar after winning four Ves trophies Tuesday night at the Beverly Hilton (including the top feature prize). Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” won for supporting VFX, Pixar’s “Coco” earned four awards (including VFX for animation), and “Game of Thrones” took home five awards (including VFX for TV).
The “Apes” finale, directed by Matt Reeves, benefited from a Shakespearean performance from Andy Serkis as Caesar, with Weta working its wizardry in much harsher conditions for the performance-captured animation. Not surprisingly, “Apes” additionally won for Caesar, the effects simulations for the thrilling avalanche, and compositing. However, although both “Rise” and “Dawn” captured Ves prizes, neither won the Oscar, so “War” is not a certainty in its race with “Blade Runner 2049.”

Beans, beans, they're good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you fart.
So goes the popular children's song, which suggests that eating beans is quite good for you. But what the song doesn't tell you is that beans can also be bad for you. Really, really bad for you. Let's just say you better hope those farts are silent, because if not, they could be quite deadly...
That's the clever angle that visual effects studio Cinesite took with this hilarious faux baked beans commercial they just whipped up, which highlights the extreme dangers of bean consumption. Written and directed by Alvise Avati, the commercial is the very first animated short film to be made by the company, and it was created to show off the skills of Cinesite's visual effects artists. And those skills are very impressive, to say the least.
Perhaps it's true that in space,...

The job of an astronaut is filled with danger. It's not just the arduous time-consuming, space-madness-inducing traveling they have to endure that could spell the end. In space no one can hear you scream. But...
Below you will find the first animated short film to be made at Cinesite. It takes the form of a mock commercial. We see this movie as a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase the quality of Cinesite artists' work.

Here's a entertainingly action-packed short film created by Alvise Avati as a spec commercial for Coca-Cola. It features an epic battle between Coke and Pepsi. It was made in Avati's spare time with the help of some of his friends. I've got to say it turned out really cool.
I tend to switch off between Coke and Pepsi depending on my mood, so I'm not real committed to one or the other. Thanks to Avati for sending the short over! I hope you enjoy it! Which do you prefer? The Coke or the Pepsi? ...
