Yeah, and painting out shit in AE ... ugg. Should have mentioned Nuke since that’s literally what 99% of vfx artists would use for that paint :/

Yeah, so this is the way everyone does it all the time. Must have shot 8 of these scenes for various films and each time it’s mostly stuff hanging on wires and people trying to keep very still. Last film I did had 5 of these scenes in it.

As someone who is highly allergic to bee stings i’d like to embrace the opportunities reduced populations of bees provide as being great for job creation. New factories to manufacture giant toothbrush type suits, and thousands upon thousands of people running through the fields wearing them!

“The entitlement” - to be fair GRRM started this when he promised a fast fourth book in the last chapter of the third book. It’s literally an apology and tacit acknowledgement to get the next book out faster ... and that was, what, 6 years?

I started reading the books in about 1999 I think? And have purchased them all up until dance about four times to share with friends ... but the delay for dance and the focus on the TV show killed my desire for the series.

It strikes me that the “I only care about my family now” mentality is the kinda position that led to Trump being elected.

The overwhelming problem with doing business in China is that the rules change suddenly and irrevocably without notice. Companies play by the local rules everywhere - there are laws in the US which effectively shut out international competition, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing - but there’s warning of changes…

If you get stripe tattoos, and you act like a tiger all day long, every day ... I will call you a Tiger. Commitment such as that deserves respect. Post the tattoo pics when you’re done ... oh, wait, don’t. Tigers don’t use the internet.

Why don’t you be that unbiased arbiter? Go read everything you can from a variety of sources. Try to look at the situation with eyes unclouded by prejudice. Dig in and figure it out. Then come back and tell us what you find. Why wait for someone else to be your moral compass?

From the Chines POV American and the West wrote all these rules to protect themselves, rules China wasn’t invited to the tabling of. Then we all sat back and expected them to play nice at our party. For a lot of Chinese they have zero fucks to give about sticking to rules they never were the part of planning.

The changes in China’s foreign money transfer rules have had a startling impact on all areas of business here. Not to say this is the primary problem for LeEco but the companies i’ve been working with here have all been hit hard by these new regulations. It’s caused a large rethink of foreign spends in multiple…

Google docs and living and working in China (or just offline on locations when travelling) just don’t mix? Honestly, fuck the cloud. It’s great when it works but sometimes it just doesn’t, which isn’t an excuse my clients like to hear.

Was getting the name of Australia’s Prime Minister wrong a joke that I didn’t get or just some really stupid journalism? I thought you guys were trying to tighten your fact checking up?

I quit Facebook last week. And it’s going well, except my time commenting on Gizmodo articles has tripled ...

Sure, but it doesn’t really link you to other films in interesting ways. I’m gonna check this out :)

Apparently it’s ok to fire the Acting Attorney General for her political beliefs so ... yes?

Mmmm a good call out. If it pushed him to cut ties with Thiel you guys have helped with a great win.

Dowsn’t Assange have a TV show on RT?
