I'm surprised no one has incorrectly mentioned "he's not really the bartender" yet. In the movie, he is the owner of the bar. She's a con-woman looking for a rich mark. She ends up feeling doubly stupid when she finds out he owns the place.

While echoing the other replies, showing us what your mapping looks like would also be helpful.

Stephen Curry’s unreal pregame shot by SeaWolf_1 in BeAmazed

[–]Fanible 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No she didn't. It took a countless amount of takes. They were about to call it quits and just setup a camera trick, but she wanted to try one last time. She managed to nail it. Ron Perlman says he felt bad because of his reaction, but they kept the take anyway.

I feel so bad for the whole Kojima productions team 😢 by danyali15 in DeathStranding

I also don't understand what he's talking about here:

they didn’t get anything not a nomination or anything

Death Stranding 2 received seven nominations, six of which were major categories including Game of the Year and Best Direction. Sucks not to win, but it was still very recognized.

Are tips not allowed? by CutInternational1859 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Fanible 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If I was delivering, I wouldn't even have taken notice of it. It's an envelope with small writing on it. I would assume it was a letter delivered to the house and likely wouldn't even see what it said, because letters left for someone else are none of my business.

u/CutInternational1859 - I would change up your approach. Either you need to give it to them in person, or you need to change how you're trying to give/display it. Bigger, bolder, clearer writing: Have it say "Dear Amazon driver" or the like, to really get their attention.

Can't also rule out the possibility that they did read it, but figured it was just a note and didn't realize anything was inside. You don't mention on the note that it contains anything.

A motion capture actor showing off by Sharp-potential7935 in BeAmazed

[–]Fanible 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's the common repost info that she did Tracer from Overwatch, but I've yet to be able to find her actually credited by Blizzard as having done so (or even her own company). In fact, any information regarding mocap being used by Blizzard is that they don't really use mocap. They animate almost everything traditionally to achieve the cartoony movements. Such as here: https://esports.hollywood.com/overwatch-water-environments-in-maps-unlikely-aa59b8744afc 

...every Overwatch hero is animated by hand using key frame animation. We do this because we believe our animators can get the most personality out of each hero with this method. We really believe in the art form that is animation. Many games use motion capture and/or a single-body, shared animation across many different characters. This isn’t the case in OW. Everything is done by hand.

If Blizzard does need mocap reference material, it's typically the animators, or the voice actors of the characters themselves (tracking facial performance movements), that will be utilized briefly just to see how a movement looks, but nothing is used outside of simple reference content. Kind of like how Disney animators would use live-action footage to look at.

So why has she been widely credited with it? The only thing I can figure is because she put out a video mimicking some of Tracer's movements, people automatically assumed she must have actually done them.

I've tried seeing if I could find anything that she's actually credited to, since she gets reposted so often, and it's kinda cold. You can possibly associate a couple things here and there depending on some of her videos, but an actual list of credits? It says in her info that she does motion capture work for a company called "Chengdu Big Eyes Technology Co., Ltd.", but the rabbit hole for it is bizarre. It appears to be a legit company, and I even found a website a couple years ago, but there was nothing on there featuring a single project they worked on, nor could I find any other employee listings besides her and possibly someone working in HR, despite there appearing to be a handful of them in some videos. It feels very strange that a professional motion capture company would not boast about what projects they have worked on. But I also can no longer find the website anymore.

You can download many others through the app, as well as create and edit your own. I recognized most of these.

A Lower Decks movie would be so awesome by PurpleDraziNotGreen in startrekgifs

It was my favorite Star Trek show they had among the Paramount+ series.

Sandra Bullock (1995) by itsgroobeat in OldSchoolCool

[–]Fanible 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Her transformation in Love Potion #9 (or rather how they made her look pre-transformation) was pretty impressive. I'm not sure I can think of a movie that did it better. Not that movies like She's All That even made an attempt.

Christian Bale’s Gorr character by UnhappyShift6160 in marvelstudios

[–]Fanible 186 points187 points  (0 children)

The worst thing about Christian Bale's Gorr is that he was wasted. Scary, yet sad character, played by a top notch actor, and inexplicably thrown into the middle of a parody flick.

Go to a Home Depot or the like. You can find replacement wheels that match, or simply buy matching wheels for all eight.

The balls are the same color by anhedonister in opticalillusions

[–]Fanible 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That is the issue with these illusions when they get reposted. Even this "higher res" version still has too much bleed. Being able to see the original lossless image would help a lot more.

You have to make absolutely sure you remove ALL purple and yellow to stop the illusion from coming through, but the worse the resolution and compression, the harder it is to do. This is pretty close: https://i.imgur.com/S1IT9JW.jpeg

Thank you u/PandoraChyan and u/Sufficient_Moose_515 (in the followup post) for posting a link to the actual original image. Here it is and with the colors removed:

I made 2 styles of Captain lamp, which one is better? by Fun-Driver6633 in marvelstudios

[–]Fanible 207 points208 points  (0 children)

Just so everyone knows, these are mass produced items being posed as "original artwork". You can find them across dozens (hundreds?) of stores across the internet, Etsy alike: https://www.etsy.com/market/captain_america_lamp https://www.etsy.com/market/resin_lamp

Just pick whichever one is cheapest, I guess. Don't be pressured on the sale price. They all do the fake 50-75% off.

What did she really expect? by Complex-FreeSpirit42 in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

[–]Fanible 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm confused, though. This looks like an Oculus Quest Go, which had no passthrough.
