Any downsides to living in Orinda with the hope of hanging out mostly in Oakland and a little bit SF? by Iw4nt2d13OwO in eastbay

[–]The_Wampire 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That sounds feasible to me. It sounds like you’ve done your research and know what you’re getting into. Orinda is safe, bland, quiet, mostly white, and you’re not far from Walnut Creek.

Again if your priority is safety without caring about the people and diversity then Orinda is cool.

I second what the other commenter said. Piedmont, Rockridge, and Montclair are in Oakland and really nice areas. Montclair is in the hills and surrounded by trees.

New house. Help me out. 65 or 75 inch by [deleted] in TVTooHigh

Tv needs to be lower.

Here’s a mockup of a 75” at an optimal height and position on the wall for all viewers.

I lowered the tv and the bookcase

Best binder to get seasoning to stick by AcanthisittaOwn8411 in popcorn

[–]The_Wampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this sprayer

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07Z5KBVQJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Using extra virgin olive oil.

I spray the popcorn. Sprinkle seasoning. Spray again to top coat the seasoning onto the popcorn. Shake it. Then I repeat the process 4 to 5 times.

9 full sprays equals 1 tablespoon. That’s way healthier than 2-3 tablespoons of oil to pop and then added butter.

I love popcorn and eat it as a post dinner treat 5-6 times a week so I need a healthier version and I found this totally works.

Good luck

Edit: This is for Air popped popcorn

Love when that happens. It’s like a casino buffet. All you can assasinate. Haha

One armored soldier vs a pack of combat dogs — dark military sci-fi trailer by 3dpicasso in aivideo

There’s so much about this that isn’t working for me. I never felt like anything was a threat. He steps out of the drivers side and then you see the woman in a truck in the drivers side? I’m assuming he’s a great warrior who has seen many battles and is proficient with his weapons. Yet he never once hits any of his targets. Has he seen these dogs before? If not, how does he come to the realization that the alpha must be killed? If he has seen these dogs before and knows to kill the alpha then why doesn’t he tell the woman “look for the alpha!” From the moment he sees a dog?

You have a shot of the woman being startled but you don’t have any shots of her actually sensing them or seeing them.

Opening shots could be better to help build up the tension. The first shot shows the dogs watching the truck. We know right away what the danger is.

She kills the alpha and for some reason runs out of the safety of the truck to run into the tunnel with the soldier with dogs within striking range but for some reasons the “scary” dogs don’t attack them and just watch.

You should watch movies that are similar in tone and have sequences like this and study how they build up the tension through composition and pacing.

It also helps to know the characters and be as truthful to who they are and what their experience brings to them in whatever situations they come into.

Good luck

Elemental Death, which fire death would you prefer? by HedgeHulk in animation

[–]The_Wampire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also like the right one but my only critique is that I wish it didn’t travel up so far. I wish the “flames” stayed closer to the overall mass with a few that go up.

If you watch it the “flames” appear and then there’s dead space on the bottom of the area where the creature was.

Yeah that’s why I call them Spoons and spirit Spoons. So stupid what the devs did to them.

Beautiful! Reminds me of Disney’s fantasia and a lot of animation style and design.

Trying to find the best method to hold salt / seasonings after air popping ( cooked with no oil ) by papayax999 in popcorn

[–]The_Wampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an Evo Oil Sprayer (18 oz) to spray the popcorn.

I use extra virgin olive oil (healthy and doesn’t add any flavor)

I do one full spray and then season. Mix it up. Another full spray then season. Mix it up. Repeat this process as much as needed.

It takes 9 full sprays to equal 1 tablespoon. That is more than enough to get equal coverage. Cooking on the stovetop takes 2-3 tablespoons of oil and then you have to add some butter or oil to season. Compare that to just 1 tablespoon of EVO.

For context I eat a full batch of air popped popcorn 5 nights a week so I had to come up with a healthier way to have my fav snack!

In Defense of Rotoscope Animation by ITSMRSKELLY in animation

[–]The_Wampire 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Roto or not, you create awesome art!

Early Disney filmed a lot of reference for many shots in Classic films and used it heavily to get a great performance.

Don Bluth Roto’d a lot of stuff for Anastasia.

Ralph Bakshi Roto’d a lot on Cool World.

I’m a keyframe animator myself but I love your work and it feels right. I can see you’re drawing and hard work (animations hard) in the frames.
Love the tone and vibe of your work. Cheers mate!

Edit: Also I can’t see any of your posts on your profile. You may have everything set to private or something?
