On Thursday, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will highlight the work of Black VFX artists through an interactive online panel discussion.
Lyndon Barrois, Andrew Roberts, Audrea Topps Harjo, Lauren F. Ellis, Corey Turner, and Greg Anderson are those who will be sharing their work, obstacles and discussing their career path. Jacqueline Stewart, chief artistic and programming officer at the museum, says Barrois, whose credits as animation supervisor include “The Matrix Reloaded” and “The Matrix Revolutions,” generated the idea for the program.
Until the Academy Museum opens its doors on Sept. 30, Stewart had been looking for a way to utilize a virtual space. “We felt as though we could still create a program that wasn’t in person, but that would allow for people to get an in-depth and compelling sense of what it is like to do this kind of work from the artistic side.”

Photo: 'The Flight Attendant'/HBO Max How many times have you watched a great show or a fantastic movie and marveled at the VFX and wondered how it all came to be? Well, now is your chance to get an in-depth look at how VFX experts bring projects to life. We had the extraordinary opportunity to speak with Greg Anderson and John Miller of FuseFX, two visual effects supervisors for HBO Max’s The Flight Attendant, and discuss their experiences working on the show as well as their larger careers in visual effects. The omnipresent and ever-evolving field of visual effects in media is one that audiences rely on but rarely offer its deserved acclaim. The chameleon of the entertainment industry, visual effects often play the most important roles in making a story believable, whether it be in an alien invasion or the exterior of an airplane in flight.

Yesterday’s second installment of “Crisis on Infinite Earths” finally introduced Batman into the Arrowverse. What’s more, he was played by voice acting legend Kevin Conroy, known for portraying the Dark Knight across various media for decades. And in his live-action debut he got to play a very, very dark Dark Knight.
The storyline saw Batwoman and Supergirl travel to Earth-99 to recruit this world’s Bruce Wayne to their cause: saving all reality from the Anti-Monitor. The Bruce they encountered, though, was far different from what they were expecting. He initially appeared to be the victim of some attack, but we later learned his paralysis was caused during a battle with Superman, in which he succeeded in ending the Man of Steel’s life. This is a Batman who kills. And likes it.
Understandably, this has created a lot of conversation online, with fans freaking out over Conroy...
