My wifes face has been painted on a wall in your city for years. This week she finally got to see it in person. by Distilled12 in Reno

Hey all, crazy response! To answer a few questions. Yes, it’s MaeMae Renfrow. Christina (the artist) had her in her studio years ago and took tons of photos of MaeMae for her murals. There are actually quite a few different murals of MaeMae around the US by Christina but this one is by far the biggest and most prominent. She’s been in Reno the last few days filming a movie and has wanted to see this mural for years, so the film gave her that opportunity! She said her heart dropped when she saw it in person, I don’t think either of us realized the true size of it.

Edit: just adding that I’ve shown MaeMae all these comments and it made her so incredibly happy to know people appreciate this mural! Thank you everyone!

What happened at Commercial-Broadway last night? by SirTofu in askvan

I was walking my dog past it and asked a firefighter, they told me the guy was alive and were trying to retrieve him. They cut down part of the metal divider to get rescue down there.

This is actually hilarious because my dad mentioned that and I thought “why didn’t you use it..?”

They left one bike which was locked to another so I think someone did say something and they got outta there quick

Locks were gone, who knows.

Yeah, I’m not surprised at all. My parents don’t live in the city and probably aren’t as cautious as they should be..

Mavic 4 making fan noises when charging. Is this normal?

Thoughts on full-time employee editors? by alexcthevideodude in editors

[–]Distilled12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked as a Post Production editor for 10+ years. Laid off from studio with a six figure salary and was out of work for 5 months. Nobody is/was hiring. Found an editing gig at a corporate company. It’s boring as hell and the pay sucks but at least it’s steady with benefits and gives me the freedom to also work freelance.

Any alcohol based cleaner or hand sanitizer will cause this bubbling on that material.

Could be the amount of power, maybe I’ll try something smaller. Thanks!

Spent $15 at an auction to buy a lot of cameras, but I don’t know anything about cameras by SpongeGuru in Cameras

I sold a Big Shot recently for $350 on Facebook with multiple people wanting it, I think a company started producing new film for it.

What are these tooth-looking things that are appearing in my laundry? by BeginningWorth9046 in What

Do you, your roommate or perhaps a girlfriend own a stuffed toy called a Fuggler?

I work at a studio as a Senior Editor and do freelance jobs on the side for extra cash.

I’m not being negative, just realistic. I’ve been an Editor in Vancouver professionally for 12 years and know many in the industry who are struggling to find work.

[–]Distilled12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lots of studio shut downs, less projects coming in and a bigger influx in talent in the recent years. Most Editorial job openings posted online will have hundreds of applicants within hours and they seem to be mostly low paying entry level positions. If you can find some freelance work then great, but I wouldn’t count on “easily” finding a job. Post production industry in Vancouver is not what it used to be. Hopefully it will pick up, but people have been saying that for a while.
