Razer’s Zephyr mask lands them in regulatory hot water | TechCrunch Minute
Gaming gear company, Razer, is under scrutiny after falsely claiming their Zephyr face mask had an N95 grade. Why is a company mostly known for glowing keyboards making a high tech mask?

I’ll always be in awe of the people behind Thanos. The animators and sound producers definitely, but also the actors around Josh Brolin, who delivered a believable emotional performance while they were looking at a carboard cutout of Thanos’s head fixed on top of the atom bomb that is Josh Brolin wearing a polka dot onesie.
More power to the animators that came up with a way to make THAT raw footage into the most unforgettable MCU Villain so far.

This is great and all. But……does anyone remember T2…..yes jurassic park was great….but not the first for certing things. But what I’ve seen in theses type of videos are all the same. It’s all nice and fancy…..but there is alot more to be explored and defined in the digital “eye” . But……….Hollywood is going to ruin it. Just like they do with most things In “the early stage”. And don’t be fooled. They will do it again

Terminator 2 in 1991 was the moment CGI changed story telling forever. Not Jurassic Park.

Jurassic Park was even more promising for many creative minds because it was artificial living creatures, with skin, scales and muscles, while T2 mainly had an (extremely well done) morphing metal character, not something that looked like a real living creature.

Hello Wired, I really enjoy the content that you’re putting out, and I want to ask if you’ve ever considered interviewing anime voice actors? I need to know how hilariously awkward it is to voice the characters in harem anime and such. If you already have some voice actor vids, can I get a link? 😁 Thanks, love you Wired.

CGI did not increase creativity. They cgi model everything today, to the point it is ridiculous. Instead of going to fim outside, they model a street and glue everything (in bad quality) around actors. It is “funny” how their hair (badly cut hallo around) or eyes do not match
