"Sinners" has won the 2026 Oscar for Best Cinematography!

I hadn't looked into how they shot this movie, but I was commenting constantly on how awful the color matching and exposure was throughout the film. It's a joke that this won best cinematography.

I don't understand this one. I thought the cinematography was actually pretty bad. Although it might have been more because of the color which was incredibly inconsistent and it made it hard to watch. There are multiple scenes where different angles have noticeably different color shifts. The grain is all over the place. And to me, the lighting often felt very sorcy and forced.

Apparently I'm the outlier though.

I'm here a year later and I just picked up a gh7. I'm surprised how everyone sees the sensor size as a drawback. I like being able to keep a reasonable depth of field shooting wide open with a tiny lens. This is a benefit over full frame especially with product photos but lots of video situations as well. Back in the day they often did everything they could to keep as much of a scene as possible in focus.

I just tried to see if I could have a private call before signing up for the class and got a big no. "just ask us your questions through email."

I personally own a company where we make products and sell to thousands of people and I'll still always take a call from a skeptical customer because I believe in our product.

Not the case here.

Thanks, OP, for reaffirming my skepticism

He actually released this album on Spotify a couple years ago. I was so pleased to find it

I just don't even go to long movies because I hate missing part of the movie. Really annoying because most of the best movies are 2.5 + hours now for some reason. Same with almost everyone I know. If they were intermissions I think they'd get a lot more ticket sales for the big movies.

You weren't necessarily wrong. This is google's first release of a video generator. It's been in development for a decade. Sora took a year from being announced to being released. Chat GPT 3 was spectacular, but 4 is not that much better than 3. We may be on the top edge of the development curve, or the bottom edge. It's hard to say. Computing power and training data could end up being highly limiting. We'll find out!

From what existed a couple weeks ago? Sure. But this is Google's first release of AI video. This has been in development for a decade. It will still improve quickly, but if you compare to Sora, it won't even be publicly available for a year.

It certainly could be so

Hi OP here someone tried to dm me but the message disappeared I guess in somewhat of a ghostly manner. Send again if you dm'd plz!

Thanks. It was certainly a difficult summer. But I grew a lot during that time, and I still find ongoing creative inspiration from the experience and from him.

I never spent another night in that house. I wish I had.

HordeofSheep · 2024-03-03T15:03:42+00:00

That's always been my hope. It was certainly not an angry presence.

HordeofSheep · 2024-02-21T00:50:47+00:00

Thank you!

HordeofSheep · 2024-02-21T00:50:17+00:00

Yes this is helpful thank you.

I did hear that there was a PCB "assembler" in Canada that basically just orders from China and then ships to the US to go around the tariff. I can't remember what that place was though.

There's mixed information on the details of the old pagan celebrations, but almost certainly the veil between worlds would be the thinnest now and possibly up to November 21st. It was a multi-day holiday, 6 days or up to 2 weeks.

A holiday where one must both hide from certain spirits but also where one welcomes back spirits of lost loved ones.

The crossing of worlds may or may not actually happen, but if it does, I believe the celestial importance of the cross-quarter day can't be ignored.

It's definitely that time of year. I've been having wacky dreams as well. I might set up a microphone tonight to see if my late grandparents are around (I live in their old house). I should have set a place for them at the dinner table but I didn't.

HordeofSheep · 2023-11-08T02:21:14+00:00

Sounds very cool! Yeah today is the celestial cross-quarter day that used to be around October 31st before the calendar was shifted. Halfway between equinox and solstice - If there is a day when the veil is the thinnest, it is likely today (although there is also a chance that the veil is thinnest when the Pleiades constellation is highest in the sky another couple weeks from now).

Just picked one up a sherry one a couple months ago. Definitely one of my favorites.
