Trans people are not a cheap punchline. They are human beings who deserve to live happily and peacefully as they truly are. Please consider donating to Esther Ghey's fundraiser, set up in memory of her daughter Brianna. gofundme.com/f/briannagheym…

Whenever I'm asked to give feedback to peoples cinematic work I seem to always run into the same issue. Nobody wants to sell anything happening outside the camera frame with audio/lighting/effects. Maybe its just me but everything feels so narrow?

Fuck this industry sometimes. Best of luck to the talented staff who are once again out of of the job by no fault of their own.

I did this technique back in Mass Effect 2 for one of the N7 missions. The rocking ship that you're standing on and falls off the cliff never actually moves in gameplay or cutscenes. I just animated the mountains and sky around it.

Another fun little Mass Effect behind the scenes. When I was setting up the pizza volus we realised that there was no plan for an actual pizza box model. So I quickly squished down an ammo crate to the shape of one to look like a "themed" box.

Ex Bioware dev here. I'm responsible for some of the "Bioware Turns". This anim is part of a set called "Posebreakers" which are intended to move characters around the area if a scene is feeling too static. We'd combine them with the infamous "Exit Left/Right" between cuts.
