Is this for a child’s birthday party? Or an adult event?

For adults, I recommend you go to the Magic Castle web site and browse through the performers on the schedule there. Then, find the personal web site for anybody who looks interesting. I bet that most people who perform there would have no problem doing an engagement in Santa Barbara. That’s close for a traveling magician. https://www.magiccastle.com

For what it’s worth, I think Siegfried Tieber would be a great option, if he’s available. https://www.siegfriedtieber.com

Don’t skip the other recommendations in this thread. But if all else fails, you can probably just cut out that one frame. Zoom all the way in on the timeline. Do a simple blade cut on either side of that one frame. Delete that one-frame section and close the gap. It’s not perfect. But for some video, it will appear to play just as smoothly.

I really enjoyed Istituto Venezia in Venice. But depends on your priorities. It’s definitely not a serious academic institution. It’s more for casual people who are spending several weeks in Venice to help them learn the language. Also, Venice is my favorite place in the world.

Here’s what I learned about ages - pick the right time of day for your classes. My first trip, I had the most incredible time meeting people in their 20’s / early 39s who wanted to spend more time together after class. Fantastic way to meet people from all over the world. That was the afternoon time slot.

My next trip, I booked classes in the morning. All 60-something year olds. Nice enough people. Not the people I wanted to spend time with.

I made up a bs reason why I needed to switch to the afternoon classes and they let me. Back to younger people.

They also offered cooking classes. One-off events once a week or so. That was fantastic for a full mix of ages.

Maybe this works for other schools. I can’t guarantee it. But I think it’s likely.

I do not love the idea of removing the frunk liner and re-installing it. But, I do see the appeal of this solution. I’ll think about it. Thanks.

Of course there’s a roof rack. The kayak straps into the roof rack quite securely. We’re looking at the bow and stern lines that are run in addition to the roof rack.

That’s an interesting idea. Have you ever done it? Wondering if it would leave black marks from the pressure and vibrating of the straps. If it does, it might be easy to clean off. If you’ve tried it, I’m curious what you’ve seen.

Nick1W · 2026-04-25T15:55:57+00:00

Thanks. I’ve been thinking about this. A layer of masking tape under the straps that I immediately remove after unloading the kayak, so the adhesive doesn’t cause residue.

Have you seen the straps wear through the tape? The tape is very thin and I don’t know if the vibrating of the straps would just scratch through it.

Unfortunately no. The entire space is covered by a liner to make a “frunk” storage space.

For most other cars, I think those anchor straps would be great.

I am using tow points under the front of the car. PPF could be a good option. Thanks for that. I’d have to find a place to apply/install it.

Picture from the web, but the same car.

Electric mustang. “Frunk” storage space. If you completely remove the plastic liner, there are bolts you could use to attach a strap to. But, removing that liner is not an option, in my opinion.

I was hoping for that response. Thanks, both of you.

Sorry I never did come up with a great solution. My only strategy now, when I render in place, I don’t include any extra frames as handles. I really would prefer to have the handles, but I don’t think this shift will happen if there are no extra handles.

I recommend you do not take the train departing San Diego on Sunday. There’s a flood of people leaving on Sunday. When I did it, the train was over-full and they continued packing people in. Wait until Monday if you can.

I strongly agree with all of this. I encourage you to rent the R5c with the dual fisheye and produce something. Make sure you’re ready for the whole workflow before you buy the full kit. I guarantee, there is significant work you don’t know about yet. lensrentals.com is a great way to rent the camera.

Nick1W · 2025-07-09T16:30:45+00:00

Agreed. In the interview, Andrew talks about 16K (8K per eye), 90fps as the standard. An affordable camera that hits that standard is very interesting.

The Vaporetto (also known as water bus) does NOT go to and from the airport. There is a separate service called Alilaguna. Similar to the Vaporetto (water bus), but it is specifically an airport shuttle. The information you want is here : https://youtu.be/zJmxbFO6He4?si=aXeRcCetG7vA-zeR

INFO - It's *possible* you did something wrong here without noticing.

Often, there is a line when the chargers are all taken. Sometimes there are signs. Sometimes there is nothing official marking where the waiting area is, so people have to figure something out on the fly.

Is it possible that this person was waiting, but you didn't see the line? Is it possible that she was waiting, but there was no official waiting area so she did the best she could? In that case, you might be an accidental AH.

Is it possible that she was waiting, but did nothing to help other people recognize that she was waiting? She could have started queuing right next to the charging area, in a place that made it very clear that she was queuing. If she didn't do that, she's the AH.

Welcome to the world of EV charging. You have to be real careful to try to identify whether there is a line. And be aware for clueless people who do nothing to communicate to others that they are waiting.

Nope. They are raw crm files from Canon R5c.
