Balancing VFX Work with Staying Active – Any Tips?

Lately, I’ve noticed how easy it is to lose track of time when buried in VFX work hours fly by, and suddenly I’ve been sitting all day. Between tweaking renders and diving into set design details, I’m realizing I need to move more. For others in creative or desk-heavy fields, how do you stay active without breaking your workflow?

I’m curious if anyone’s found a good rhythm short workouts, ergonomic setups, or even just ways to remind yourself to stretch? Bonus points if it ties into cultural heritage or data-driven habits (old-school martial arts? step-tracking hacks?). Would love to hear what’s worked for you!

Ah yes, the classic “I blinked and now my spine is fused” VFX experience. I set alarms labeled “pretend you’re a human, not a render farm” – works wonders until I ignore them.

Been there. My “stretch or die” alarm just became background noise after the third Elden Ring all-nighter.

Ah, the timeless struggle of the digital artisan. One mustn’t forget to stretch both the limbs and the render settings.
