There's no doubt that creating a movie is a long and exhausting process. All that we--the outsiders of the craft--know is that it all starts with a story then moves to months of development, followed by several long months of production, and is finished after a handful of months spent editing and perfecting the film. After all of the necessary work is done, the feature is presented to the audience who decide its fate. If you want to get a clearer idea of how it all works, there's plenty of industry professionals who are willing to share the details of their work. Some of them can even teach you a thing or two about their job.
Recently, a filmmaker and VRX artist, Ian Hubert, shared side by side comparisons from his upcoming TV series 'Dynamo Dream'
One of those people is a filmmaker and visual effects (VFX) artist called Ian Hubert. The man who is known for his work in Project London, Dynamo, and Tears of Steel has been making tutorials to show how he creates visual effects for movies. Recently, he took his passion project, the upcoming TV series 'Dynamo Dream' as an example to show how stunning digital environments can be created with the help of a green screen and an animation software called Blender.
The artist reveals that the series was made with the help of a green screen and a powerful opensource software called Blender

Ian has been working on Dynamo Dream for the past couple of years. The artist says that he got a bit hung up because he "wanted the first episode to be a bit over the top." Clearly, he succeeded. The teaser trailer of the series quickly went viral. Both the trailer and his behind the scenes footage have gathered millions of views online.
The whole series is made by merging real life with intricate digital creations and Hubert demonstrates how it's done on his YouTube channel
People are also taking an interest in his teaching videos, where Ian shares his detailed knowledge on how to make movies yourself. As it turns out, the free and open-source Blender software makes it quite easy to create visual effects, the only thing you need is a good teacher and that's where Ian comes in. The artist shares tutorials on his YouTube channel for free, but those who are supporting him on Patreon get even more valuable tips.
