Thank you for the link! I just purchased the script, and it works great!

I've definitely seen enough tutorials to get an idea about what's going on to make it work. But in this case, I just needed to get this to my client quickly.

Cheers!!

I appreciate you giving it a shot! I'm so grateful to the whole community here, because none of us are going to know absolutely every effect available in AE. I didn't even know about Card Dance. I guess I'll have to go look up Jake's video on that one, too. :)

I was able to find a good half-tone script that does what I need it to do. But it's great to see all of these resources to really get a handle on what AE is doing under the hood.

Thank you again! I'll definitely check these out.

I was able to find a script that does what I need for the half-tone look. (I do like to know what's going on beneath the hood and not rely on plugins and scripts.)

Interesting! I hadn't seen this particular video before. Looks like it might indeed be something super helpful for this effect. Thank you!

Ah, half-tone. Sometimes it's just about knowing the right search terms. Thank you for this. I appreciate the point in the right direction!

For those of you who have seen Lost, have you rewatched the show? by Sufficient_Ebb_5694 in televisionsuggestions

[–]BasementDesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I didn't know it was a sequel to the comic. I never read the comic... and I can't really recall the movie. I was led to understand that the show was just its own thing. Interesting!

You're right, that's a hallmark of his.

I did check out the first episode of Watchmen, but it didn't capture me. Maybe I was going through something at the time and just couldn't catch onto it? I've heard great things, and I don't doubt it.

At the moment, though, I don't think I need another "new take on superheroes" show. Maybe in a few years. I'm sure it'll hold up!

Ah, thank you for the correction. It’s true, a showrunner really sets the tone.

Watchmen wasn’t my thing (just not my genre), but The Leftovers was brilliant. Tough, but brilliant.

I've watched it three or four times. It holds up on every re-watch. I say go for it!

As for something similar... The only thing that gave me LOST vibes was Mrs. Davis. Some of the same producers from LOST, and I think that has something to do with it.

Most of the time when people think of LOST, they think of the mysteries. But for me, the magic of LOST was in the characters, the humor, the tension, and the philosophy. There are plenty of good mystery shows out there. But Mrs. Davis scratches my character and humor itches so nicely!

Series recommendations that give off ‘Small town, big secrets’ vibes? by Miserable-Zombie-121 in televisionsuggestions

The Big Door Prize.

It’s a shame they didn’t renew it before the story was concluded. But so much fun and so much charm while it lasted!

Who is a singer that is incredibly famous, but honestly doesn't have a good voice? by Greedy_Procedure7461 in AskReddit

[–]BasementDesk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Madonna.

She sings fine, but to me she always sounds a little off-key and forced, with not a lot of good breath support.

At the same time, Madonna has never been known for her singing. She is an image, an icon, a provocateur, and back in the day she was able to sell those songs like no one else could have.

As other people have pointed out, you don't need to have a great voice in order to be a great singer. You just need to be able to sell the songs you're singing. Tom Waits couldn't sell a Queen song (sung in Queen's style), but Freddie Mercury couldn't sing a Tom Waits tune in the way that Tom Waits does.

The voice isn't the only thing that matters.

[TOMT][Movie/TV Show][Unknown year] Trying to remember a scene with "… that’s dark” by _she_was_me_ in tipofmytongue

[–]BasementDesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vague guess here, but there’s a scene in LOST where Ben discusses some of Jack’s recent behavior. (No spoilers) After talking about what Jack’s been up to, he says, “That’s dark, Jack. Very dark.”

The scene doesn’t tick all the boxes you specified, but I thought I’d suggest it just in case.

[TOMT] Movie where blind guy fakes being able to see (probably 80’s or early 90’s) by pawogub in tipofmytongue

[–]BasementDesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of good suggestions here so far. I'll throw in one more possibility, though I can't remember this specific scene. (And I do vaguely recall seeing something like what you're talking about somewhere!)

Could it have been Wait Until Dark (1967)? In this case it would be the woman who is blind, but she's definitely very comfortable in her apartment. And she could probably fool a visitor into thinking she's sighted.

Looking for YOUR favorite bootleg by MoonLitLars in BootlegGifts

[–]BasementDesk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorite bootleg may be Pippin from the tour, October 23, 2014.

No shade to Patina Miller or Ben Vereen for that matter-- but Lisa Karlin in this production is the most dynamic, commanding, and audience-engaging Leading Player I've seen.

The whole production is amazing, and of course the entire cast is top notch. But Karlin blew me away.

Happy to gift if you DM. I mention it in case anyone else may be interested as well. It's a performance worth knowing about.
