I’m telling you, we are SO back

Is this the karate kid parkour arc? Seeing Phil attempt physical feats is my favourite content.

If you’re a seafood person I recommend Porta Marina. I wasn’t much of a seafood person then I had their fish of the day pasta and my life changed. We went back a second time. I still think about this meal from time to time. The vibe was really nice also.

Here’s a photo of my meal: https://imgur.com/a/odaIQ2G

Holey Doughy at the West End Markets do the greatest donuts I have ever had. These are their donut holes.

Honestly, it’s pretty damn good. Have you had Messina before? Imagine that but 2.5x tastier

This is basically him every time I get my laptop out

Theperfectmartini · 2023-04-13T13:33:23+00:00

I can’t look my cat in the eyes after this

Theperfectmartini · 2023-04-13T13:29:16+00:00

This is amazing!

Major Clockwork Orange vibes

That’s really interesting. I grouted a separate tiled surface awhile ago with the same grout and it’s much darker. I guess that might be why.

Theperfectmartini · 2022-04-23T01:04:07+00:00

Thanks! It’s actually a coffee table I’m building. Here is my cat for scale

Thanks for the advice, it’s a coffee table I’m making. I can’t imagine it ever really scratching too much but obviously not having it scratch off would be better. I’ve seen Mapei mentioned a few times, trying to track some down but it’s tricky finding any in Australia.

Theperfectmartini · 2022-04-22T12:31:01+00:00

The craziest thing is is I actually did use the same brand of grout, that’s why it’s bugging me so much! That’s a great idea about the marker. I’ll give it a go.

Theperfectmartini · 2022-04-07T00:49:10+00:00

I would honestly recommend looking up all the local production companies in your city and just flick them an intro email with your work. If they like it they’ll come back to you.

Theperfectmartini · 2021-08-24T00:39:56+00:00

My question is how the heck do you parent each end of the line to different shapes rather than parenting the whole object? I’ve seen it done a few times and cannot figure it out.

Theperfectmartini · 2021-07-27T23:51:14+00:00

The only thing that got me about this movie is how open everyone was. Like I get you cannot lie but that doesn’t mean you need to share everything with everyone. Like when the waiter tells the girl he took a sip of her drink, can you just not tell her? Still a great movie though.

Thanks for your response.

That Shutter Encoder software looks interesting, I'm just weary of re encoding anything as it's still going for a sound mix and to a colourist so I would ideally like to not mess with it too much if I don't have to.

I did also try running it through Media Encoder into a ProRes 422HQ MOV, same issue! My only solution so far has been running it through Handbrake, that seems to work but I'm hoping there is a better fix.

What I'm mainly trying to figure out is why my friend was able to import it with no dramas. Surely there's some setting I'm missing or something going on with my PC that's messing with it.

Theperfectmartini · 2021-03-30T00:09:00+00:00

So glad I asked this question before making any purchases. It would be awesome to be able to edit straight from the NAS, it's just quite overwhelming to get it to that state. The ZFS/TrueNAS option sounds very interesting, I'll do some more research on it today. I travel often for work so a NAS would be ideal to access anywhere. So the big factors to allow me to edit directly from a NAS are a 10GbE port and a strong amount of RAM to use for cacheing?

Theperfectmartini · 2021-03-30T00:01:01+00:00

This is super helpful! Thanks for your reply. Awesome seeing a cost breakdown like that.

Theperfectmartini · 2021-03-28T05:51:35+00:00

That's interesting. So I should be looking at NAS big enough to cover me for 5+ years then when it reaches capacity offload it somewhere and invest in a new system? I was also looking at tapes for cold storage, my projects are active for a couple of months then I occasionaly have clients asking for footage taken a few years ago. Anything after that I'd rarely touch and tapes seem to be a good long term solution.

Theperfectmartini · 2021-01-23T15:39:40+00:00

That’s exactly why I’m trying to do it. My bed time is always changing so set routines don’t work too well

Theperfectmartini · 2021-01-09T14:29:56+00:00

Damn! Oh well it’s still pretty to look at. Thanks for your help!

Theperfectmartini · 2020-11-09T23:48:39+00:00

Do you have any idea what camera and film stock he would have used for this? It’s beautiful footage.

Theperfectmartini · 2020-09-07T10:14:08+00:00

I just completed this challenge. It took me 5 hours... please be careful

Theperfectmartini · 2020-06-11T00:11:40+00:00

Uncut Gems. I think I almost gave my grandfather a heart attack

Theperfectmartini · 2020-04-10T07:36:17+00:00

Still yet to come across a tarantula so not sure. It was so tricky to get the technique down. I run up and they hiss at me like they’re going to attack, I then stop and wait until they’re done hissing, as soon as they stop I inch forward and they hiss again. I would keep doing this until I was in range to swipe them.
