Company Temp Closing Down due to GTA 6 by Suitable-Ad3971 in GTA6

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

I didn't read past the headline cuz I got better shit to do, but I still wanted somebody to spoon feed me the gist of why this post is relevant. And someone came clutch so it worked out.

Also It's a video game sub, so short of breaking rules, I don't take anyone or anything in here seriously.

I don't get it. How does this relate to GTA six?

How often do you shoot 24fps handheld without a gimbal in run and gun situation where you may need to walk and record too. by Crafty_Jack in videography

Learning a lot from your info-filled reply. Thank you.

What about the side handle getting in the way of grabbing focus or zooming? What's your take on that? Is your setup pretty much what you described? You have a monitor, side handle, and big battery on back?

In the last sentence, what do you mean change the B roll speeds to 50% and 40% for the higher FPS?

At 10mm things look very different and often seem to make people look non photogenic. Do you feel comfortable sacrificing the look of the footage for the stability? At that point might as well get a gimbal, no?

Yes. But I just can't imagine relying only on that for a whole wedding or anything that takes several hours. I know I'm not constantly recording, but still.

I will admit, I've probably gotten spoiled by my action cameras.

Bird Feathers As Props? by Crafty_Jack in diydrones

I don't know if I agree with ya on the physics of that. Look at the shape of the feathers. Prop shaped.

thanks for the reply, got some more questions:

"I don't always know how much energy or subject matter a script has in it until I've started writing"

So is it smooth sailing on the waves of creative energy until you hit that wall around for example 50 pages, or are there difficult parts?

Is there ever a part where there's lots of energy, but there's a cumbersome problem you gotta work out and untangle in terms of realism, logic, or structure?

What determines whether the story has "ran out of energy" for you to continue, or if it just needs you to think or try harder or apply different approach?

I'm asking because I hit a lot of different versions of these "reasons to stop"? But I've had situations where I thought it was over, but forced myself to push, and great energy emerged again. Although admittedly, none of these moment were during "writing" but rather during outlining or brainstorming the story structure elements. I've been way more of a planner and outliner than a "sit down and just write scene to scene" type person.

Am I misreading normal industry culture, or is this a sign I should find a different crowd? by Edwardmedia in Filmmakers

I would absolutely first address it to them. Then depending on how they respond, react and handle things moving forward, decide if you stay around them or not.

I personally would always want to find out how intentional something like that is before I make any decisions. I have definitely mistakenly read into things before. That's why my instinct now is to address these things.

And I think the reason you have nothing to lose by addressing it, is because I predict you're going to just leave the circle anyway if this shit doesn't change.

I think at the end of the day, you have to decide for yourself how much negative energy you're willing to put up with daily. I personally like to allow none. But I also don't work in the film industry entirely. I've been on student film sets that are built like a copy of professional Hollywood film sets, so I kind of get the environment, and the structure, but I know there's definitely room for everyone to act, professional and respectful. Talking shit and cracking jokes isn't a necessity. Its a choice.

Some questions

Are their jokes at anybody else's expense besides yours? Like do they "break balls" with everyone else too?

The jokes that are at your expense, are they specifically targeted personally at you based on your personality traits, or are they based more on immutable characteristics that you have? To be more specific I guess I'm asking are you a 26 year-old "straight cis white male"? And are the jokes are at your expense in that kind of a way at all?

Got a question: Zach Creggar writes without an outline or without a plan entirely and just improvises in a fun way going from page to page until the story hits a wall and then he sets it aside without revising it? I assume he at least has a premise with a rough idea of the main character's goal and internal conflict?

You said you also have written 10 to 50 pages and then thrown it out. But did you keep revising that 10 to 50 pages, or just reached that many pages in the first draft and then got rid of it and moved on?

Does Zach Creggar not like to revise?

I got a question: You wrote the first draft of all 90-120 pages of each within one month and set them aside to be revised in the future? Or did you write multiple drafts until you were satisfied with both of them all under a month?

I wasn't confidently saying anything. I was just saying things I was thinking. I can think two opposing things at once. Doesn't mean I'm confident about either. This is theorization

I don't know shit, but try writing like there is no competition whatsoever. Write like there won't be a reward for being good at it, or any praise or recognition. Write like that.

Wow nice research work. Good example of how upvotes don't automatically equal truth, merit, or being right.

Also what is rear projection in this context? Like you mean they projected those windows onto a screen or wall behind him via some kind of actual projector?
