The Telesync version is out for days too and it's pretty good quality. But honestly the workprint version's jankiness somehow makes it fun. Like those music videos with music removed on Youtube

  I remember years ago seeing a prerelease version of one of the wolverine movies. As the CGI models were still grayscale, it was cool to see at what points the fights were actors and what points it was CGI.

    That was X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I was also thinking about that when I heard about this leak. This was the infamous Deadpool scene from it without the finished special effects, it's actually pretty interesting to see it this way. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R5ffysgVvA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R5ffysgVvA

    Way back when the first spy kids movie leaked without CGI so the kids were flying Superman style without the associated backdrops.

This is also why I like Yandex and non-US and non-european search especially in terms of censorship by copyright in the USA. If you go to Yandex and search "a minecraft movie torrent" the first 6 links are the preprint that variety.com 'claims' were mostly removed. In reality, the only sites deindexed were Google and Bing. This shows that the limits of the first amendment are speech when its convenient. Links, webpages, and more are speech, but also completely censored in the US media. Weirdly, Russian based companies have less a problem with the free speech the USA kicks us offline for.

  > This shows that the limits of the first amendment are speech when its convenient. Links, webpages, and more are speech, but also completely censored in the US media. I'm a bit confused by this. Are you saying that publishing the text (speech) of a copyrighted book, and then having the link to that text de-indexed, is the equivalent of violating the First Amendment? I assume Google and Bing just treated this as any other copyright violation.

For better or for worse, the US only has free speech protection which is binding on the government. Sometimes that's good (you can kick out people who don't behave). Sometimes that's bad (censored media). But even in the cases where it's bad, it's not clear to me that it would be worth it to enact freedom of speech laws that apply to private parties. It seems like the cure might be worse than the disease in that case.

    The problem with enforcing "freedom of speech" on private parties is that it essentially the same as infringing the speech of that private party. The only issue I have is when companies can play both sides and in one breath claim they're neutral for the purpose of section 230 protection, and then in the next breath take part in censorship because it's better for business. Pick a lane, either lane, but you shouldn't get it both ways

I wish studios would share these behind-the-curtain versions more often, but I suppose that would go against their apparent belief that CGI is a dirty word that can never be acknowledged even if that means outright lying about how much they used. The last Planet of the Apes movie did go there though, the 4K Bluray includes a "raw cut" of the entire movie which shows exactly what the camera saw.

  Oh, I’m surprised you wrote that. I follow a lot of VFX accounts and they are constantly posting their work, not full versions of films but enough to show how scenes were built.
  - jsheard 2y ago
    Typically the way it goes is that the studio underplays how much CGI they used during the marketing campaign, while the VFX vendors are forced to bite their tongues, and then 6 months after the movie debuts their NDA expires and they finally get to show how much CGI there really was. This series is a great watch on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ttG90raCNo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ttG90raCNo In the later parts there's some really egregious examples where promotional behind-the-scenes footage was actually doctored to key out the green screens or present composited shots as if they were done in-camera.

  Agreed. You may already know them, but the “Corridor Crew” channel on YouTube has a great “VFX Artists React” series where they do deep dives into vfx scenes and the behind the scenes. They often have industry pros come in and share scenes from their work. Great channel and series!
