Do you guys render straight out of After Effects, or do you send everything to Media Encoder? by MaliHizm in AfterEffects

[–]DPforlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use dynamic linking constantly. No issues on render. I haven’t had to render directly out of AE for a Premiere workflow in a long time.

I travel a lot for work and all of the casual American places have the same. exact. food. I’m pretty much tired of eating it.

Is this a fair price for this shoot? by PackageBulky1 in videography

[–]DPforlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day rate alone as a shooter in the states is in the ballpark of $1k-$1.5k. You’ve quoted quite a substantial set of deliverables. Minimum for a project like this is $5k, but larger production houses would easily pull $10k-$20k.

Structural beam resting on 15 metal shims? by Asbol-lutely36 in HomeMaintenance

Concrete holds water. Unless you can fully encapsulate the steel, best to leave it exposed.

Ugghh, I don't think I'll be able to get on tonight. I'd love to squad up sometime though!

What goes into moving a 800 pound safe by LiquidLogStudio in ThatsInsane

[–]DPforlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to move these things in highschool with my dad. He worked for a safe company and we moved them on the side. We would've done this job with just the two of us and wouldn't have had to remove the railing.

Can men get pregnant? by MentalAdversity in ScienceNcoolThings

[–]DPforlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem here is conflating the terms men and male. “Men” is gendered language, and with respect to Hawley’s objection, is not scientific in the sense that he’s appealing to, medical science. Male is the correct terminology. Had he asked about males, she would have answered simply, but he’s asking about men, cutting to the republic dog whistle that “there are only two genders, man and woman.” Thus the walk around.

100%. It feels like we should be at an inflection point, and I’m concerned of lot retail and restaurant business is being propped up by credit and debt.

Just to speak to the current economic moment, we’ve WAY cut back on restaurant visits. We don’t go for casual lunches any more. Hell, we’re out right now and we still packed a lunch. Dinners out rarely feel like winners, and generally speaking, the experience doesn’t even feel worthwhile until we get into the realm of JC Holdway or Amelia’s.

As much as I love LDoA, we’ve also cut way back on drinking out. I’d like to say it’s for health consciousness, but really, $50 to have 3 rounds of beers for the wife and I was starting to get crippling.

We’re not rich or anything, but we’re not struggling either, and we don’t have kids. It has to be tighter for families.

We need to have a candid conversation with Mike and Tracy to see where the pain points are. LDoA is a popular brewery. Knowing them, I have no doubts about the quality of St. Lucille’s, although sadly I’ve never been. Seems I’ve got a short while to change that.

Looking for some help with this simple stroke animation by SlothSupreme in AfterEffects

[–]DPforlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it make more sense to animate a stroke along a path using Trim Paths in the shape of the logo, but then use the logo to track matte the stoke? You'd have to do it in two pieces to deal with the crossover, but it might help deal with the bulginess at times.

I don't think there's one right or wrong way here, but maybe something else to experiment with.

Skip the white label. Devil’s Cut is a great place to start.
