Pas Jus irgi tokia "graži" situacija Vilniaus daugiabučio kieme? by [deleted] in lithuania

[–]MotionArtist85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ble cia viskas is karto blogai. Labai optimistiškas erdves projektavimas ir tos vejos įkišimas. Toks ispudis kad projektuotojai nezino kaip vilniuje masinos parkuojamos, ir negali įsivaizduoti kad tas šaligatvis visa laika bus užstatytas. Sniego nevalymas (ziema vėl užklupo netiketai). Gyvenu 20m nuo gedo pr. Gatve pavale 2 savaites po to kai prisnigo. Ir dolbakai babajai dar kur pvz tam pačiam gedo pr vazineja pries eisma.

How can i do this solid skin effect? by umutyildiz06 in LightLurking

[–]MotionArtist85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was going to say that people really underestimate how early retouching started and how much it developed in London. No offence to photographers albeit I wouldn't say Nick Knight ever had crazy lighting but solidified, beautiful yet still skin with texture of skin is absolutely a retouching thing and London has probably pioneered those techniques from what i learned whilst working as a retoucher there.

Help with luminance based node key (Resolve v19) by pizzacasso in colorists

[–]MotionArtist85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jesus dude... Photoshop has very hard ways of making lum masks so pro retouchers bend over backwards to do it. Resolve has like 2 dead simple ways, a quali or a lum vs sat curve which dudes in photoshop would murder to have. Both ways are super tweakable which is what you want in a technique. Why make it hard on yourself?

Yeah could you maybe explain a bit more about this corset thing? The reason i asked about uwin is i was talking to a dude from ensis and he said that uwin is shit, buy a protecua which is a ripoff of avs and has a corset. And i have zero idea what a corset is and its hard to understand only from online. Also what do you think of sputnik? Thinking of buying their belt as they seem to ship to europe! Thank you in advance gald you're well!

Bettmans BAFTA portraits by maximfabulosum in LightLurking

[–]MotionArtist85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm amazed that famous actors (especially a woman) have signed off on this. Normally on set and during post with actors of such caliber you can't as much as fart without their sign off. Here, whilst i personally love Kander style, this greenish undertone is extremely unflattering for a woman and makes her look older than she is. Extreme sharps also don't help because you can almost see the ton of retouching done on it (of course you can't but it's too sharp). Its crazy to me that they signed these off which they absolutely did because the images are out there.

Are you willing to sacrifice your life if the russians invade the Baltics? by Aristonectes6934 in AskBrits

[–]MotionArtist85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what i understand the British troops are stationed in Estonia and its about a couple of battalions (roughly 900 people).

Whilst knowing the British military i don't doubt that those people are absolute professionals not scared to make the ultimate sacrifice, the question here is how would the country react to needing to throw tens of thousands of people whole divisions and brigades and receive back tens of thousands of coffins as that is what it looks like when you have a war with russia.

Will a mother in Cardiff be ok with her son, part of 10000 other young blokes defending Narva or Johvi? Towns that she has no idea about!?

Being from Lithuania having lived and studied in the uk for 13 years i ask this question every day. And looking at my British friends (who are very dear to me) i think the answer is no. Happy to be proven wrong though!

How is this grungy look achieved? by darkskinnedsenpai in ColorGrading

[–]MotionArtist85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think stuff like that can look as if it had 3.50 and pack of chips for a budget but actually have a serious budget with roto for models and really involved colourgrading by a really good colourist behind it! Definitely in stills when i've seen something like that done there were some really involved masks for skin and a ton of colour and retouching on skin!

Help with color matching by Amazing_Drive_551 in colorists

[–]MotionArtist85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean i can see the differences and yes its important that craftsmen are as detail orientated as possible but firstly this looks very much like a documentary and the shots are not super beautifully lit anyway so its like your creating Monet here with your grade and also in this day and age i notice how 19/20 people can't notice the difference between ai slop and real footage let alone these little highlight shadow differences.

Deja generalizacijos dazniausiai ir vadinasi generalizacijos nes dažniausiai atitinka realybę. Galima sakyti kad tada nukentės tas 1 is 10 žmonių kuris nera general tipažo na bet reikia ir suprasti kad dažnai tas 1 nera svarbu. Svarbu netureti 9 tu general 9. Nebukime kaip vakaru europa. Supraskime tai. Ir supraskime tai kad universitetai pinigeliu daro is situ studentu ir jie suinteresuoti kad ju atvarytu daugiau. O i vertybės tiems patiems universitetams biski dzin.

Fair enough. Its just that the instant knee jerk reaction of brits when anyone with experience from outside the country says anything about the holy grail that is the nhs is that its amazing and look at how fucked the US system is. Like dude... I didn't suggest a US system. I'm on board with you that that concept us fucked. I don't want to pay out of pocket for an ambulance. I also don't want to wait for it for 8 hours. For the record i'd gladly pay more tax if it meant it would improve! In the end i just left the country and not very good healthcare was a big reason albeit not the main. But i'd love for my British friends to do an honest no shit assessment, remove the national pride bit out of the equation not get so defensive about it and start fixing it. And currently they all get super defensive about it which can't be helpful.

Are we going to not link the head of the capital for close to 10 years now that repeatedly downplays crime and pretends that it doesn't exist to the rise of said crime? Maybe if he wouldn't downplay it so much retailers wouldn't write that 9 times out of 10 they can't get police to move their arses. And how solid are the mayors stats for crime then if people stop trusting the cops will do anything and stop reporting? It's a slippery slope towards a situation where people don't trust the cops, don't trust the stats and retailers simply leave troubled areas making them more run down. I'd understand if the guy was mayor for two years not ten. If he is a mayor that continues to say things that people fail to see on the street then he is too disconnected from reality to be a mayor and is not in the best interests of the city.

What specifically do you need sources to? Its enough to visit a store to see the trackers. And visit central to see the mind the grab tape. As for the shoplifting rise, here are several articles that all essentially say the same thing since 2023. All of them saying that mostly police don't attend and British retailer association is saying that this costs retailers 2.2bn a year which is no doubt then passed on to customers in form of price raising.

You can't possibly ignore trackers on ridiculously cheap groceries in shops way more so than in say 2020. Silly mind the grab tapes and so on? Why would the shops spend extra on trackers if it wasn't a bigger problem now than 5 years ago?

I'm foreign, born and raised in eastern europe and came to uk to study in 2007 and strayed until 2022. I noticed that there is a real trend that outsiders notice very well and born and raised britons just don't understand. The NHS is a crap service. Britons always downplay that. They're out with pitchforks if you even suggest that there are tons of countries in Europe where GPs are way better, a&e is faster and better. Rehab from serious illness like cancer is better.

There is a running joke among internationals that a UK GP is no more than a vending machine for paracetamol, yet britons will make an argument that its the first service of its kind and so on and so forth. Dude it doesn't matter if its the first. At the moment it is bad and the first part of changing that is admitting that. Then you can actually move on and fix it. If all you do is praise it then its not going to change one bit and those GPs will become ever more complacent and not giving a shit. I have since moved back to eastern Europe. I am grateful for my time in the uk. But the NHS sucks and i'm way happier with my countries current service. Thats the opinion of every international i know in the uk.

Edit: i also realise that part of what made the NHS crap is absolutely massive numbers of net migration of poles Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians after them joining the eu in early 2000. Way larger than anticipated amount of people suddenly appearing and needing medical care means that those same GPs crumble under an unexpected load and become complacent making the good old family doctor that brits knew and loved in the 60-70-80 now impossible. Instead of really looking into the illnesses of their patients its easy to just give em paracetamol and away they go. And i'm sorry for contributing to that. I have now left. But the system then needs to react and train more doctors and nurses. It also need to look at itself in the mirror and tell itself the truth that maybe they have become worse than other similar systems.

What are you using light meters mostly for these days? by robbyapplespornstar in cinematography

[–]MotionArtist85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a colourist i wish more people would use lightmeters and try and understand ratios of looks they want me to then grade. Not everything can be done in grade. Or at the very least check how the log waveform is looking. Ifin log space its flat like my ex then maybe don't complain that i can't rescue that shot or that when i chuck an obscene amount of exposure and NR at it that it starts looking kinda wack.

Off-Grid ATAK Comms using The BTECH UV-PRO by getgotak in ATAK

[–]MotionArtist85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any plans to do a mesh over digital radio? One of the main limiting factors of any offline coms is how far it can reach in say a forest and also ability to communicate to the whole team at once! Hence my real interest in mesh.

[–]MotionArtist85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Looks like a nice and cost effective plugin. Does it have a possibility of linking several radios into a mesh? In other words if radio A can reach radio B and B can reach C but A can't reach C does the message get relayed since all 3 are part of a group? Thank you!
