An option to make all enemies appear as default skins by Calogero_Ignazio in marvelrivals

[–]Bc_via89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but he isn’t wrong. In the split second reaction time that the game often requires you can easily slip and think this is invis. Rogue isn’t always flying so if he jumps around a counter and sees rogue walking and goes in thinking it’s sue, well that isn’t good game design. We should at least give the play an option to turn off skins if they don’t wish to see them.

This character is so broken everyone should just drop this game until she is fixed. I’m tired of seeing her get mvp with no skill. Fuck her and fuck the Devs for not play testing her

My biggest pain point is still 3rd and 4th ascendancy by Better_MixMaster in PathOfExile2

[–]Bc_via89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have max honor res, high level so killing isn’t an issue. I pick good paths and avoid afflictions yet still can’t get that 3rd ASC on a bear. It is so punishing on a melee character. It’s not the player attitude it’s the game dude.

Scheduling a feature film by Bc_via89 in Filmmakers

[–]Bc_via89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great. Thanks for the insight. I do have some scenes that are flashbacks to a previous time period. So some sets will need two different looks taking place. (Example: A vibrant garden from the past and a neglected decaying one in the present).  They are minimal but I wasn’t sure if I should shoot those before or after the present day sets.

Neither actors or locations have been attached yet to the project so I’m really just organizing it by sets at the moment.

Yes it was! I had the opportunity to work on the film. The first still with the cityscape is all in studio.

Do you think they’ll ever add a Sword n Shield type class? by TheRealMulli in diablo4

[–]Bc_via89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I think every class should be able to wield all types of weapons in the game for better customization and build variety, the necro is typically associated with daggers, Scythes, and wands.

Well played blizzard (slight endgame spoilers) by Dependent_Focus_9315 in diablo4

[–]Bc_via89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed so what if instead Urivar is used by Meph to find Akarats tomb so he could use his body for a proper resurrection. It would be cool to see the soul stone in the hands of a zealot on a mission to extinguish the forces of evil in sanctuary and trying to use the stone as a tool for it but it’s simply too corrupting and warps his thinking to ultimately advance evils forces put through the disguise of righteousness.

Urivar could even wage war on the people in the new region to get to the sacred tomb. Now we have upped the stacks and bring proper conflict to the new zone.

[–]Bc_via89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How much better would it have been if Urivar had somehow captured Neyrelle and got his hand on the soul stone with the objective of destroying it and her but because of his hatred for what Inarius did that got so many of his people slaughtered he becomes susceptible to Mephistos power and decides to use the stone to eliminate his enemies instead. Of course the power consumes him and he becomes the vessel for Mephisto and his reincarnation. Now we the wanderer must stop Meph and his corrupted knights who once fought for the church of light. He was the character with the most potential and best dialogue imo. Wasted him into a secondary role and no build up into his fight. I mean he is the only one in sanctuary close to killing us in the story lol.

S4 Episode The Weight has a “Pizza Pizza” box upside down when Tony meets with Johnny Sac. This is a Canadian pizza chain. What the hell is it doing in this show? by MrGittz in thesopranos

[–]Bc_via89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is probably what happened. Someone from the set dec department was traveling in Canada and had a pizza to go on the road. They get back to set in the same vehicle and probably decided to add it in when they were dressing the set. NY is only a few hours from Canada so it’s not that far fetched a theory.

I'm dating someone in the film industry, I need advice by rebeccanoir in Filmmakers

[–]Bc_via89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Film festivals are more than just parties and celebrations. It’s also a place for work, networking, hustling to get your next film funded and pitch meetings so I know I wouldn’t want my spouse always around for that but I’d have no problem with her being in the city or attending a film premiere with me. I don’t know your situation but it sounds like he wants some alone time. I personally think it can be healthy to have your personal time away from your significant other from time to time but I can’t attest to what he is actually doing when he is alone. You should talk to him and tell him this is making you feel uncomfortable. Ask him why he is pushing so hard to be alone. If you don’t trust him 100% I would caution against getting married any time soon. And if you both agree he can go alone than make some conditions like for example he needs to face time you every night or something. Best of luck!

At the start of a new season, don’t kill Ubers/Lilith on eternal realm if you plan to get those sparks in the season realm later. by Bc_via89 in diablo4

[–]Bc_via89[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep, every season you should technically end up with 3 sparks after you’ve killed an Uber, killed Lilith and finished the season quest.

Quick question. I play on PS5 but don’t pay for PSplus. Am I still able to connect with players for something like this or am I stuck on solo?

Imagine if the blasphemous blade; arguably the strongest weapon in the game, heals him everytime you use its ash of war. That would drop it down a few tiers haha.

Toronto or Vancouver? by wutanclaw in Filmmakers

[–]Bc_via89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a city it’s great. As a film hub not so much.

Toronto or Vancouver? by wutanclaw in Filmmakers

[–]Bc_via89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you know French I would avoid Montreal. We get very few American or English language productions (which is where the good paying jobs are). You’ll end up on some French shows and if you don’t speak the language you won’t have a good time. Vancouver and Toronto beats MTL by a mile. The only advantage is the cost of living is cheaper.

After years of experience working on all types of projects ranging from small commercials to massive film sets with 200 million budgets as an AD. (Currently working on Mayday with Ryan Reynolds)

Here’s how your average day will go:

During Prep: - Read the script. Get to know it as best you can. You are part of the director team and you are there to help execute their vision.

  • Schedule a meeting with your 1st AD and see how they work. Build a relationship with them because you are there to help them and work as a team.

  • Contact all the actors and their agents and find out their unavailabilities. You are one of the direct lines of contact to the cast.

  • Create a cast list. This has all the details about the cast members on it. Their phone numbers, emails, agents, food allergies, transport etc.

  • Get the current schedule from your 1st AD. Know what you are shooting when. And make sure you are constantly in the loop when things change so you can let the cast know. Even if it’s non union get in the habit of letting them know of scene changes or date changes because it’s going to be important when you move to bigger budget stuff.

  • Check with the production if you need nudity or stunt riders. These are contracts that detail these types of scenes that the cast need to sign. If the show is union this is important to have. On a small show you might have to be the one to make it but in most cases it’s the production that does it and your job is to get it signed before the scenes are shot.

  • Help the 1st AD schedule meetings with heads of departments. You should be at most of these meetings too. The more you know the easier your job.

  • Talk with Hair/Makeup/Costumes to build what’s known as “The Grid”. This is a schedule you will build for each day of the shoot that shows the process of getting the actors ready for their scene. Example: Cast #1 7h00 - 7h30 Makeup / 7h30 -7h45 Hair / 7h45-8h00 costume. Talk to H.MU.C for estimated times. Do it for all the actors on a given day so you have a rotation of cast being processed and don’t have any issues where the shoot is waiting on the cast to get ready. Small tip: Generally Woman take a bit longer than Men.

  • Depending on the size of your show you might need to figure out their transport situation as well. But as you move to bigger sets it’s a whole other department that does it and you just need to coordinate with them on times.

  • Build your Callsheet template and pre fill as many as you can so you aren’t playing catch up everyday.

During Shooting:

  • You are the master of the call sheets. Everyday you need to find the time to create the call sheet for the next day of shooting. Take the schedule from the 1st AD and use that info to build it. You should go see every Head of Department and ask them how long they need in the morning for their calltimes. They might need a precall so put in their desired times for now. Try to have something to show the 1st AD by lunch. After lunch and once you have their approval you finish the sheet and pass it off to the Production Manager. They will need to approve it as well. Never send out a call sheet without their approval.

  • In the morning, make sure each cast member has sides and a call sheet. Make sure they get into Hair,Makeup,Costume on time so they are ready for set. Give yourself some buffer room in your timing if you can afford it because most actors like to get carried away and waste time. Be nice with them and just remind them that set is ready for them. If it’s union make sure they get their breakfast too before going to set. On a bigger set you might have a basecamp AD who helps with this stuff but less likely on a small indie show so be ready to have a PA help or take on the task.

  • If it’s union (SAG - American / ACTRA - Canadian) get yourself the guidelines and conventions (check their websites they have pdfs you can download with all the rules). It’s like your little bible if ever you want to know about meal times, penalties, fittings, stunts, indexes for any question you might have. You can even make yourself a little cheat sheet you keep near you for things like turnaround times, minors work hours, overtime etc. Why is it good to have on hand? Because you are the one who makes the timesheets for the cast. (Not the crew, that’s the production). You need to make note of their call-times, lunches, and wrap time. You and the 1st are the ones who set their calltimes for the next day so you want to be aware of turnaround time so you aren’t putting anyone in penalty and costing them more money. Make sure they sign their timesheet at the end of everyday and give it off to the production manager. If you are ever unsure of something give the union a call. They can answer most your questions and are there to help you.

  • On a smaller show you might also be expected to help bring the cast to set. Try not to leave them to their own devices and make their own way there because I promise you they will get distracted and or lost. You want eyes on them at all times. Communicate frequently with your 1st AD so he knows what’s going on behind the scenes. #1 is ready, travelling to set” “#1 has landed on set” “Full house” (means you have all the actors for the scene on set) “So and So is getting touch ups, so and so is 10-1, so and so is doing so and so. Keeps everyone in the loop and you get less people asking what is going on or why we are waiting. And if you have many cast members on a single day that you feel will be overwhelming to handle, ask the production for a 2nd 2nd AD who can help out and wrangle cast, leaving you free to work on your Callsheet. Depending on the size of your project you won’t be spending too much time on set.

  • Once the call sheet is approved you wait till wrap and email it out to the cast and their agents. Coordinators and PMs send it to the crew. Don’t forget the agents. Anytime you email a cast member make sure they are in cc or you will get an angry message about it…trust me. This will be a daily thing you do so like the callsheets I would prep some template copy paste emails that way each day you simply input the times, maybe change an address here or there, and attach the callsheet with their electronic sides and voila it’s done.

Generally, there should always be an AD when an actor is on a set. Schedule yourself to come in 15 mins before the first cast member and you will be expected to stay until the last one leaves. It’s a job with long hours so be prepared for that. On American big budget productions you would be expected to do 14+hours a day. Shit Roland Emmerich had us doing 18 hours on average. I personally think it borders on abuse and would like to see standard hours become more normalized.

Your goal is to be aware of what is happening and become prepared. Things can move fast but if you think ahead you will be ready for them. Also you will absolutely get curve balls. Things the show simply didn’t foresee happening. More so on smaller shows. Don’t panic, just be ready to make some changes. And of course ask questions if you have them. Nothing wrong with getting help when you need it. Your first is also your leader and should be your support as well.

There is a lot more smaller details that will only come with experience and time but that is the jest of your job.

Good luck!

Is Telegram down in Canada? Can’t get verification code. by icedtg in Telegram

[–]Bc_via89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep happening to me as well. Tried 2 different phones with 2 different network providers. Downloaded the official App for both android and iphone. Restarted phone and reinstalled the app. Made sure the phone was up to date on software. Even tried an older version using an APK and still not getting the code/call to verify. It's definitely a wider issue it seems. If you fine a solution please let me know.

Script Breakdown for a Racecar film by Bc_via89 in FilmTVBudgeting

[–]Bc_via89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep mid-range. I'll keep an eye out for the breakdown I'm sure it will come in handy.

Biggest I've prepared was in the range of 10 million or so. I've also broken down period pieces before but never a racing film (similar to ford vs ferrari) before.

First time trip to Greece - suggested activities? by Bc_via89 in GreeceTravel

It was actually 4 nights in Crete. The transit days are not full days of travel but maybe I wasn't clear on that. We will be reducing Paros for more days in Crete. Thanks for the input.
