And then, in 2307, when we run out of fossil fuels, and the world is still playing a grand zero-sum game during a tentative peace, Celestial Being comes in with their Gundams and turns us all into Innovators with GN particles!

I could see that... 'specially when they're saying it fast.

Despite the popular opinion of the internet to the contrary, THAT would have been uncalled for. Didn't mean to embarrass you; sorry about that. ('sides, it really could have just been a typo.)

Shouldn't that be 「だ」?

I still have to use the kit lens for when 50mm is the wrong lens to use (I have the 18-55 kit, 55-250 kit, and this bad boy), like when in tight rooms or whatever. The bokeh this little guy gives off is incredible, though.

QTF. This is an amazing lens for the price, and for video it performs nearly identically to the Leica glass at f1.4. Stills, of course, still are a different story, but it's a wonderful little lens.

Just came here to weep over the abomination Herbie has become. That is all.

Har har. VFX artist clearing off an entire shoot's worth of RED files. No porn here.

Ummm... last I checked Shift + Delete just deletes it while skipping the Recycle Bin.... I use it for large video files all the time when I'm done with them and I don't want to move them to the Recycle Bin first. You won't be able to paste using that without changing some sort of setting.

そうすればきっといい経験できるでしょう。＾＾

Agreed that I don't have the right. Disagree in that you're still oversimplifying the situation. If everyone gets out of VFX, the studios fail because no one can make their vision, and then EVERYONE in the movie biz loses. And then no one gets to see any more movies.

Not that black and white. The studios refuse to sign anything BUT those agreements. Do you work at a loss or not at all? Either way you're short money. Do you want to be short $50,000 or $100,000?

Starred for truth. And Hardball in this case means enforcing the original, legally-binding contract for changes. The studios just know that there are people who love to do VFX, almost as much as a hobby as work, that they can find someone else because someone else will do it just to be a part of something visually…

What I would like to know (that I still don't understand) is why each arm seems to do the same thing as the rest of them. Yes, they're not perfectly symmetrical between them, but with as many different ways snowflakes turn out, why doesn't each arm do its own thing?

Yeah, but dude's playing on an iPhone. :P So close, yet so far. Still, from a technical standpoint, it was quite good. Matching focus and tracking the phone, not to mention the rotoscoping... it was a technically-speaking quite good.

Yes, that is a big part of the real problem, but it's a little deeper than you've illustrated: it's not "cut costs in the hope of getting future business", it's "cut costs or you're guaranteed to LOSE future business" because you get blacklisted as "hard to work with". Even enforcing the current contracts which tend…

The only problem with threatening to strike is there are always college kids that understand JUST ENOUGH about VFX to volunteer to work on their first big project for cheap because "it'll kickstart my career!" Nearly everyone is guilty of this (I was, but I wasn't working on some real big thing, thankfully). It's what…

Fair point; most of his stuff seems to be VFX related unless it has one of his plugins in it lately.

It takes a different mindset to learn self-sustaining skills from "we're going to create THIS today" tutorials like VideoCopilot puts out. I was hired this semester as an adjunct teaching an intro to motion graphics class at my university because of my After Effects know-how. Ironically enough, I learned most of what…

RAGE AT YOU FOR INSINUATING iPHONE IS OF POOR BUILD QUALITY.
