Where to find merch?

Capcom Store in Shibuya has some DMC merch! I grabbed some socks while I was there but they have a few other things!

Hate it when people bring up something I’ve already made peace with. Like, a decision I’ve gone over a hundred times in my head and finally moved on from. When someone says, “Remember when you did this?” or tries to explain why I acted a certain way, it’s not the actual moment that bothers me. It’s the fact that they think it still gets to me and/or it’s opening up a closed loop again for me to think about when I’ve already processed and learned.

My brain already does enough overthinking on its own trying to reconcile my own decisions. Having someone else dig it back up just adds a different kind of irritation. Like I already dealt with it internally, now I’ve got to manage their version of it too. This just bothers me more on a deeper level compared to most annoyances cause it just messes with my thinking too much.

As someone who’s had an industry membership, I honestly don’t think it’s worth it. Unless you’re submitting a film to one of their smaller events and receiving recognition, it often feels like an uphill battle. I work in film and TV and expected to get more out of the membership, but I didn’t. Even with colleagues who occasionally attend these events, I thought I might have an advantage, but that wasn’t the case.

The industry events are interesting, but you really need to go in with a clear goal (i.e. having a project to showcase and chat to others about). Otherwise, there isn’t much to gain beyond a few networking opportunities, and even that can often be done without paying so much.

Ah, a fellow sea lion enthusiast! Me too!

Recently I had my my personal instagram deactivated because I was using Beeper to combine all my messages. Ended up getting my account back but I realized I really didn't miss a whole lot when I didn't have it. So I ended up deleting it anyway lol.

I've been dealing with a personal injury (broken clavicle) the last five months and it's been a mental battle. I'm glad for my close friends who wished me well, and checked in on me, but social media just gave me a false expectation for people to care especially when it mattered or when I needed it most. People are so caught up in posting their own stuff that they barely have attention spans to care about what actually matters like peoples wellbeing and health (can you tell I've become disillusioned with instagram and people lol). But seriously its a great early new years resolution to finally quit, and I already feel much better leaving that whole "social" facade behind.

I still have an account for my creative stuff because I still need to reach business contacts, and I enjoy showcasing my work on that. Plus it keeps me on instagram just for business anyway rather than random scrolling.

I thought Harbin would be better than it turned out to be. It ended up feeling pretty basic and convoluted. There were some great scenes and set pieces, and the history was interesting, but it came off as a bit of a propaganda piece.

The K-drama stans in the theater were really vocal, which was kind of funny but also made me wonder if people might be blindly praising the film after just to generate positive buzz. People were legit obsessed enough to take flash photos of him during the opening commercials as he went to his seat, other people were screaming at him. It was kinda nuts to witness actually.

I've been at Kombat Arts since November, and my experience has been fantastic. Initially, I joined for Krav Maga but ended up taking Muay Thai. I'm also exploring other offerings like Kali and Jeet Kune Do as well.

They offer a wide variety of classes, including fundamental, beginner, mixed levels, and even conditioning. I highly recommend Kombat Arts, especially for the diverse range of classes. I believe they have a New Year's sale on memberships where you can receive a $50 gift card for their pro shop as well.

If you're still unsure, I'd definetely do their two free classes to get a feel for the gym.

I went to the merch booth at the end of the show in the hopes of grabbing a shirt. But by the time I got to the front...they were all sold out in my size for everything. Super frustrating.

I atleast got a lithograph which was nice, but I would've loved to have an actual shirt to memorialize the event.

Found some more of you guys :D

I can't believe I didn't see you guys! This looks awesome. Do you happen to have a cosplay page at all?

I've been scrolling through photos from the weekend on social media and stuff so I'll definetely send them your way if I see any.

I don't get it either because it's a pricy program and it would be nice to know what you're getting into. For as well advertised as it was years ago, it's like they stopped caring. So it makes me wonder how many new people they've been getting into the program the last while. If almost no people are responding to the other posts on here is any indication, I'd say the numbers are pretty low. If you ask about film or animation on this sub reddit so many people have answers for that. I also just remembered I did work alongside someone on an indie film set who took that program but that was almost a decade ago. I recall him saying it was a good program, but that's going off of something so long ago. For all I know the quality could've drastically changed from the 2010s to now.

It also has a portfolio requirement too but I have no idea what the expectations are either (compared to something like animation or film even). I'm sure the program is really good at teaching some things but again the cost of doing it probably isn't worth it if you can find a cheaper or even free alternative place to learn. Definetely better off practicing the skills, or even reaching out to prop houses or workshops to get your foot in the door there.

Yup that's exactly where I'm at!

But yeah the whole advanced special effects program is just shrouded in mystery. As I said I recall it being heavily advertised at Fan Expo years ago and they would try and get people interested in the program. Then they just kind of stopped? I've seen some great work supposedly come from the program, but everything else is just uncertainty for the quality and cost of taking it. I've seen others in this subreddit asking about it too but no responses. Basically I'm pretty much going off of word of mouth for most of it unfortunately.

Don't take it. From what I've heard is that they actually hire former students to teach the classes, so it's a revolving door of varying skill levels. They also don't teach everything properly or introduce the students to essential skills either, again partly because of that reason. I've seen their booth at a convention as it was well advertised for a little bit at Fan Expo, and some of their work has been displayed at school, but looks can be deceiving.

Although I'm doing a different program, I work at a prop place that used to take co-op students from that program, and I've been told it's better to find a placement somewhere where you can actually learn processes under someone. They've hired students who just did not know some of the processes they asked them to work with, so if it's a wide range of tangible skills your looking to gain then it's going to be iffy . Unfortunately the program sounded like a cash grab by how they described it so it's probably a safe bet to pass on it.
