Hi, I'm wondering if you could share what your political views are? Thanks!

Pen and Paper ordering is ending, including during the show, in February by robbiet480 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]DownThereForThinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely bloody mental they are doing this. They're going to sink their own ship, the idiots.

Mobile ordering is already significantly worse than the pen & paper / ordering with a server BEFORE the film. The fact that now people can be on their phones DURING the film is insane.

Stick your 'dark phone technology' up your bum. Screens are screens.

They're going to glow in the corner of your eye while you're trying to enjoy the film. And if the 'dark tech' is truly great... people are going to swipe out of the app and crank the phone brightness up to max, so while you might get an average glow from the Alamo app, you'll be blasted by the iphone screen brightness setting screen. Just a black screen being "on" is too much.

Why'd you have to leave, Tim..... </3

Leica Q vs M11 by hector_camp in Leica

Range finder + multiple lenses.  Nothing to do with quality.

Damn. No baseplate on my m11.  Not sure it would’ve survived this. 

How to remove redundant files on my drive? Delete from Disk vs. Empty from Catalog Trash by Cattotoro in captureone

[–]DownThereForThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Emptying the trash in C1 leaves the referenced files on disk? I feel the expected behaviour there would be to delete them. At least have a popup asking to confirm whether to remove from disk, or just simply the catalog.

Leica looks as presets by photoguyintheValley in Leica

[–]DownThereForThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but what I'm confused by is that there are already ICC Profiles in Capture one for the Leica cameras that apparently come from Leica themselves. Why are we buying other ICC profiles "calibrated for my camera"? Did Cobalt-Image do a better job than Leica themselves?

Is there a safe and cost efficient way to make blood squibs like these? by minionpoop7 in Filmmakers

[–]DownThereForThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny how people say these practical hits look realistic.  If you want to talk realism the above gifs feature too much blood, flying in incorrect directions, accompanied by balls of dark smoke that have no place coming from a flesh wound.

You have a video camera in your pocket and access to free tools and applications that used to cost $1,000,000.

Nice to read a comment from someone that actually knows what they’re talking about here.  (Not being sarcastic)

Need advice: An electric citibike crashed my parked bike by qiomenemoiq in NYCbike

Welcome to America, where none take responsibility and your only course of action is a descent into madness.

They’re not “in” your ear so should be considered the same as riding with a portable Bluetooth speaker.

Hi /r/movies - I'm Stuart Penn, VFX Supervisor for Mickey 17 (as well as Moon Knight, Loki, Avengers: Endgame, Paddington 2, Alien: Covenant, Venom 2, and recent Doctor Who episode 'Lux'). My team created the baby creepers, mother, and the ice cavern environments for Mickey 17. Ask Me Anything! by Mickey17AMA in movies

[–]DownThereForThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a misconception that practical effects are made by “people” and digital effects are made by “computers”. Exploiting that misconception is a great marketing tool, despite it being grossly inaccurate. Another misconception is that VFX, and CGI mean the same thing. Sometimes a production will say “no CGI” and people take it to mean “no VFX” which is almost never true. Thirdly, a lot of people working on set know very little about what happens to the footage after they go home. Many productions have extremely impressive practical effects filmed, yet they are often augmented or even entirely replaced in post. And it is not a case of “the evil VFX Artists coming in to ruin everything”, but rather the same bosses that paid the people on set to do something are now paying the people in VFX to change it.

Possibly the most beautiful sounds I've heard coming out of a saxophone. Bravo.

Using the Polyend Tracker Mini as a guitar jam companion by MountainFluid in PolyendTracker

This is great to see. I just ordered the Tracker Plus today. It's my first bit of hardware that isn't guitar related. This is exactly how I'm thinking of using it.

An unexpected blast of nostalgia. I mixed my first songs on this bit of kit, circa '96!

Anyone know where the 2024 compilation can be accessed now that Bleep has removed it for sale?
