Chicken Bone FX Hires a BREAK+ENTER VFX Team

Chicken Bone FX Studios has seized an opportunity to hire a talented team of professionals from BREAK+ENTER, a  visual effects company that was forced to shut its doors.  BREAK+ENTER was headquartered in New York City, NY where Chicken Bone FX also has an office, in addition to its headquarters in Manhattan Beach, CA.  The addition of one of BREAK+ENTER’s visual effects team increases Chicken Bone’s employee count by about a third and greatly enhances the company’s ability to take on more projects of interest.

One of the talented individuals Chicken Bone FX was able to hire includes Creative Director / VFX Supervisor, Ari Rubenstein.  Mr. Rubenstein is a 30-year veteran with an impressive array of credits spanning features, television, and animation as a VFX supervisor, lead compositor, compositor, match-move artist, character animator, and technical director. Rubenstein served as a key artist responsible for look development and supervision at Blue Sky Studios for 15 years, where he worked on scores of animated features for Disney and 20th Century Fox. Over the course of his career, he has worn virtually every hat in the VFX production pipeline and worked at three industry pioneers, Xaos Inc., Tippett Studio, and Blue Sky Studios. Rubenstein was also the founder and VFX Supervisor/Producer of Curv Studios. Among his many notable credits are Matrix Revolutions, Constantine, Charlotte’s Web, and Hellboy.

Chicken Bone FX first heard of BREAK+ENTER’s closure from a mutual client who asked if Chicken Bone was able to take on the scope of work that was jeopardized by the sudden closure. John Renzulli, Chicken Bone FX Founder, and President, quickly determined that the company was ready and able to rapidly scale from both a technology and management perspective.

“It’s a sad day for the entire VFX community when we hear of vendors shuttering their doors. We are both humbled and excited to have the opportunity to provide stability for our community by employing one of the B+E teams. Adding this talented group of artisans and production professionals strengthens our ecosystem while also filling a void in the market. We are delighted to have them here and proud to give these chickens a new place to roost,” said Renzulli.

People posting images of extremely computer enhanced practical effect images and saying "see this is why practical effects are so much better than computer effects!" is the exact same energy, to me, as men who say "look how much prettier women look without make-up!" and post a picture of a woman in a fully, heavy face of make up.

For those who didn’t follow me from Twitter, you might not know that I’m a CG/VFX character animator by day. Here are all the movies I’ve worked on!

Captain America: Winter Soldier - digi-double stuff on the quinjet bridge fight, lots of shield bouncing animation

Sausage Party - too many things to mention, all of them suitably unspeakable

Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania - I animated the Fish Milk scene (and I’m sorry)

Hotel Transylvania 3 - lots of random shots here and there, biggest one is the dog running up the kraken tentacle at the end

Aquaman - more digidouble stuff, sharks and fish and Atlantean machines

Pokémon: Detective Pikachu - the Mr Mime scene of him putting out the match, some Mewtwo fight scene stuff, crowd animation

Sonic the Hedgehog - uncredited work on the original version

I pivoted to cute kids TV animation a few years ago so no more movies for me (probably) but it’s been a ride! And having a webcomic to work on has kept me sane throughout~

Biggest fear that has a higher probability of happening than I would like it to is Will has powers in season 5 but all of his cgi looks like ass

#when i heard that they were adding updates to the vfx after hitting post to netflix… shivers #also this is nothing against the actual artists. they are amazing and did a great job #what i fear is netflix rushing a half baked product out the door #my hope is that they would give the last season of their biggest money maker time but sigh #stranger things #stranger things 5 #will byers #will byers has powers #byler #<- target audience

Also I've made one of my older posts about AI stuff unrebloggable because it was starting to go around and while my final verdict opinion hasn't really changed - I still strongly consider it a really exciting tool that can be used for both good and evil and despise its use as a corporate cost-cutting gimmick or a new way for trolls and grifters to be giant cockholes but love seeing what people do with it for its OWN value as a tool and how making art out of ANYTHING is such a human thing to do-

digging even a few inches deeper has caused my reasons for arriving at that same conclusion to change a lot lmao

It's kind of my current ultimate example of

#personal #ai tag #and also i complain about how its flaws are making.people way too sympathetic to reactionary arguments #this doesnt mean i fail to recognize or hate the way it's used for evil #but hair-splitting about Real Art and Real Labor has NEVER led anywhere good this time will NOT be an exception #and ''we have to shove this genie back in the bottle to Save Jobs'' has always been a losing argument #and beefing up copyright is the exact opposite of preventing the worst uses #but holy shit we need better online privacy protection and vfx unions #we need that shit 40 years ago #and we need automation taxes to go to beefed up unemployment -> ubi #and i hate how theres a kind of godwins law corollary with 1984 because the filters on so many readily available generators are #TERRIFYING #its bad enough when tiktok tries to block you from talking about queerness and mental health and basic facts of life #at least they cant block you from saying it to a friend next to you #but when companies falsely think they can monopolize the entire concept of making images #and decide that various disabilities are ''too violent'' to show.......... #yeeeeeah yikes

Btw I need you guys to know there are many youtube channels and other content producers out there that are not the artist of the work they host, and do not necessarily disclose that information.

A dear friend and fellow animator has a repeat commission client that hosts their work on youtube without credit, and yet, every comment is a compliment of how good the animation is, or how much they've "improved."

I'm not saying to stop watching, as clients vary, especially online. Income sources are income sources. But, be aware that this is a common dynamic between comissioners and artists.

seeing the anti-cgi post going around and it...bugs me. I agree! that cgi is overused and practical effects/set design/etc need to be included way more. a little nitpick is that while cgi falls under the vfx department in live action movies, cgi and vfx are different things. cgi is specifically using 3D models, while vfx is any effect done in post production. this includes! editing in things like practical effects that need to be edited into the film!

cgi, while the term often used only in a live action context when discussing, is what 3D animated films are. toy story is the first fully cgi movie. you like any 3D animated films or shows? cgi.

maybe I'm biased because this is what I'm studying and it will be my job but I think in these conversations it isn't acknowledged the skill it takes to create cgi elements of a film is A Lot. people go on about the skill of all the people working on practical effects...vfx and cgi also require a lot of work with minute details. vfx requires precise timing, often going frame by frame through thousands of frames. cgi requires knowledge of anatomy, movement, physics, to pull off successful models, rigs, and animation .

a great example of how these things can mesh well together is honor among thieves! there's so much praise for the practical effects, the costumes, all that and there absolutely should be. but the owlbear is cgi. the displacer beast and gelatinous cube are cgi. the dragon is cgi. and vfx artists put all those things together within the live action shots.

all this to say. I'm pretty tired of vfx and cgi being totally shit on without nuance. the industry needs to be criticized and changed significantly but that doesn't mean cgi and vfx are useless for anything other than erasing wires.

#i haveeeee opinions on this #people fucking love the dragon in honor among thieves that is fully cgi. and its cool! cgi can be cool and amazing! #but it does get to a point where the way people talk about cgi feels like a dismissal of all the work that goes into vfx and cgi...our jobs #are not useless. and in fact. there are cases where we can make things Better...not just universally Bad #i get that there cant be a qualifier in every conversation but i have never seen a post that acknowledges this.

having a niche job and trying to find work really highlights not only how little work is out there but how dogshit algorithms are like i work in vfx why are all the listings i get recommended things like 'graphic designer' and god forbid 'vinyl lettering artist' like girl this is nothing...

#its so fucking ANNOYING like if there arent any listings just say that. just show me nothing. #dont make me type out vfx compositor and then show me 15 listings for animators im going to reach into my screen and kill you search result #at least the EI ones are funny its always like '2 new jobs for you!' im like dude no they are not #anyway i think i need to switch careers maybe ill be a barista in new york who sails half the year #that will make me money right.

yall say you want to support vfx artists and then you see one bad digi double made by an overworked/double artist and suddenly it’s a conspiracy to replace real actors incredible

you have NO IDEA how many digi doubles we use for movies because they’re incredibly well made half the time

#my guess is they didn’t like that person’s acting on this take but everyone’s else #and by they i mean the director #so they asked the vfx contractor to replace them and the vfx studio used one of the cheap digis in their bank #no conspiracy to replace actor just a director who is bad at their job

this life is exhausting

#i'm okay but god i'm tireeeed #i'm doing tasks i shouldn't do at my job #basically i'm a vfx artist atm #and i have to listen to people saying bullshit about minorities all the time :') #all that to get stressed about riots on the weekend #i hope there's nothing friday night. i am supposedly going to a show then a goth night :(

I thought there were many trans/nb people on my uni (animation/games/vfx) course when I was on it 5-7 years ago and there were like 5 of us in each year group, but the sheer amount of ppl I found out afterwards have transed their gender since (2 in my year group, 1 lecturer, and 1 in the year group above and below ours to my knowledge at current count if I haven’t forgotten about anyone) is both impressive and fairly unsurprising

#trans #games art #animation #vfx #I found another one on linkedin today that has they/them pronouns now seemingly and I'm like really? this one? huh! #also interesting demographic info to note that most of the ones that were out 5-7 years ago were transmasc #while almost all of the more recently out ones are transfemme #which is a) nice to see that the ratio is more even than I originally thought after all #and b) something something feminism made afab gender exploration possible earlier while the amabs have only felt able to more recently #overall at least obv we had some amab nbs at uni too but not that many that were out as such yet #but yes unsurprising that literally so many of us specialised in the jobs where you get to sit in front of a computer/drawing all day #and don't have to exist in meat space for hours at a time #we gotta add the CGI/VFX transfemme stereotype to the cartoon transmasc one it's time

this movie got delayed at least 20 times. there’s no reason for this shit to like a fortnite lobby

#whoever is doing the vfx on this movie is there as an inside job #and i respect that

[he-slash-him]

NO BECAUSE HOW DO YOU 'FORGET' TO CREDIT THE VERY ARTISTS THAT YOU DEPENDED ON FOR THIS MOVIE

#barbenheimer #oppenheimer #wtf #writers strike #can my VFX people strike too? #can everyone strike until we have a world where every job has a livable paycheck???
