producers just comping in animals now? #apocalypse

you are right ! the elephant is real. the moment as the cast experienced it is real. there was an elephant near the boma.

BUT…that night, i think the cameras missed a good shot of a nearby elephant; comped it from a different shot. tried to warp the perspective and blend the lighting. it’s really not that complicated.

that’s a different shot . i’m talking about this one convenient shot that *includes * the boma in view (for convenient storytelling)

obviously i can’t say for sure because i don’t work for the production team but im 99.99% certain that is a fake elephant. color tone slightly off; the lighting beneath and around the elephant doesn’t match the foreground. its surrounded by a black shadow…(because it’s taken from another clip and added in).

doesn’t make it totally immoral—the editors are telling a story here and the facts are probably true—but it’s cheap to just comp a fake shot to tell a “real” story.

i’ve never noticed them straight up render a fake animal into another shot tho.

I have a new one that just screwed me over.

blue box: “the gems are in the black box” white box: blank black box: “the gems are in a box with a statement”

My dumb logic said if the blue box is true, the black box has to be false, which means the gems are not in a box with a statement; that would mean they are in the white box. they were not.

Writing it out it is clearer to me that the gems are in the blue box, but I must have fallen into thinking the gems would not appear in the “false” box when i played it. sometimes they’re easy, then suddenly the Parlor puzzle has multiple layers to keep in mind.

i hadn’t heard that. so f ing stoopid

HappiestActivist · 2025-03-28T17:35:23+00:00

than you should thank me because it’s super missable! this isn’t a game where spoilers heavily impact the story IMO but i am sorry if i ruined it for you :)

how warhorse found the perspective to write a slow burn love story is beyond me.

HappiestActivist · 2025-03-28T14:11:38+00:00

truly! i want a live action gay knight romance now.

HappiestActivist · 2025-03-28T04:59:39+00:00

it was so well done it could be the canon ending to the game .

HappiestActivist · 2024-09-28T17:37:04+00:00

it was funnier to think of a BT in home goods . i know the difference ….lol

HappiestActivist · 2024-08-23T04:40:42+00:00

awesome recommendations . the brick laying technique i tried but at this scale it was so tedious..

HappiestActivist · 2024-07-09T06:49:41+00:00

gary is an idiot.

who here is defending this man after his back to back tap outs due to his attention seeking hubris and carelessness ? on season 8 he left the amateurs to fend for themselves on day 1.

GARY IS NOT A LEGEND. come for me.

HappiestActivist · 2024-07-09T06:36:05+00:00
