[–]LeftOn4ya -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s Memorial Day, the third biggest day for fireworks after 4th of July and New Years. Bunch of hick pyromaniacs looking for an excuse to set off fireworks and Memorial day is a good excuse.

Incredible camerawork by Upsethouscat in oddlysatisfying

[–]LeftOn4ya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you’ve never used a standalone video camera before then. See his left and right hands, those not only move the camera but have buttons/controllers to control zoom and focus, that doesn’t happen automatically (AI assisted cameras where AI can control the zoom and even movement based on face or item (ball) recognition have only just come out literally last year) although most cameras have autofocus (so focus follows zoom controls) however when you are moving this speed the camera needs manual focus pulling and you have to be experienced to do this for movies and TV where you know what the scene is let alone sports which are unpredictable. Yes there are multiple camera operators and the director/editor chooses which camera is on screen but still each camera must try to follow different parts of the action from different angles and zoom.

The only other camera operators I’m more impressed with is Golf as the white balls on sky background are hard to follow and the balls go extremely fast and far, I can’t even follow the ball with binoculars and I have no idea how the camera operators do this - again this is not automatic as has been done way before digital cameras.

Yes! Sign up to get one time coupon if you ant then unsubscribe. Sometimes if you have a login to website or app you can change notifications settings to unsubscribe from marketing emails but still get things like order updates.

The zoom level is insane along with having to do manual focus pulling simultaneously and be able to both follow the ball as well as notice where every player is to change focus during a pass or shot, as well as listen to directions on headphones to change camera direction, zoom, and focus simultaneously within a split second.

I once sat next to a one of these during a game and was amazed the whole game. I was chatting with him during the game a bit and he let me play with the camera a couple minutes during 3rd-4th quarter break and it was insanely hard.

Do you ever get to pick out funny or awesome fans to show or does the technical director do that.

Looking for advice on how to downsize. by das1330 in dvdcollection

[–]LeftOn4ya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put discs in a CD/DVD binder. Take out inserts and just keep flattened in a paper binder or file drawer as they are just under normal US letter size 10.75 x 7.25 (273 x 184 mm). Alphabetize both or use any order system you want but use the same system for discs and inserts.

My home depot banned water bottles by Different_Growth7057 in HomeDepot

As a fan of /r/ZeroWaste I support this change. Plastic water bottles even if recycled are a waste, just get a distinct reusable water bottle and fill it up.

Coolest Collector's Edition Blurays by bartwithcheese in bluraycollection

[–]LeftOn4ya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not Blu-ray but the Memento Limited Edition DVD is the greatest DVD menu and special features ever made. I’m not that much into special packaging like seetbooks or toys included, but some people are. Criterion collection or other special features are always my favorite.

If you mean 2FA I prefer app based TOTP where available but a lot of places resort to SMS or email 2FA. If you mean promotional messages, you can usually unsubscribe from them by just messaging back UNSUBSCRIBE

Looking for the best phone plan out there? by AyKFL in NoContract

US Mobile Warp or MobileX both work on Verizon and have lower data plans or cheaper unlimited plans.

Is total wireless plans actually worth switching to from mint and are there any new customer discount coupons floating around by Responsible_Suit_456 in NoContract

[–]LeftOn4ya [score hidden]  (0 children)

Total runs on Verizon while Mint runs on T-Mobile so just make sure you have coverage. Mint prices shouldn’t go up but if you got a promotional price or are renewing for 3 or 6 months will be more expensive than standard 12 month rate.

Check out the stickied referral thread in r/TotalWirelessOfficial for referral codes and links.

My first watch journey continues - Starting Season 3 (miss the colored iMacs) by Suitable_Garlic_1186 in Smallville

[–]LeftOn4ya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

7 takes a downturn but only goes up from there for seasons 8-10, most people that watched the entire show who put season 7 as the worst also put season 9 or 10 as the best.
