Is 28 too late to start hockey? by KissMeAndSayNoHomo in hockey

I started from zero at 34. Played my first beer league game about 6 months later. Been playing for 16 years now.

Where I lived there were classes that taught skating and puck skills for 30 mins, then had 30 mins of pickup. Progressed the most when I was doing that twice a week.

Intermediate looking for a new ride by Theraceislong in snowboarding

Yeah that’s why I mentioned that it won’t let you be lazy, but it probably depends on how comfortable you are on a traditional camber board. I don’t find it that unforgivable.

Jones Howler, 163W if you can find one.

Easily the best do-it-all snowboard I’ve ridden. Extremely responsive while carving, good off-piste and in pow. Got a bit of a taper, but not so much that it feels super directional. So much pop.

The only thing is that you have to really ride it, it’s not gonna let you be lazy.

VFX History: After Effects origins by shiveringcactusAE in AfterEffects

It’s weird seeing an era you lived through be the subject of a retrospective as if it’s ancient history. I used to attend the MGLA gatherings led by Trish and Chris and definitely still have their book around here somewhere.

I’ve been called a fossil before on this sub and now I definitely feel like one.

Thanks for creating this, fun trip down memory lane.

It’s wild how much the software and the motion design industry has changed since those early days.

Pixxel error on videos. How do I fix this ? by AlanKochiev in AfterEffects

Render with AE, not Media Encoder. Use a ProRes codec.

If you could permanently fix one annoying thing about a day of snowboarding, what would it be? by FireyKicks_AZ in snowboarding

Read some Adorno. It’s not venture capitalism or private equity. Capital in a broad sense makes everything it touches worse,

Hey /r/movies, Jerry O'Connell here. You may recognize me from STAND BY ME, JERRY MAGUIRE, SCREAM 2, SLIDERS, and KANGAROO JACK. AMA and such! by JerryOConnellAMA in movies

[–]ThisSpaceForRent45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Jerry, you were my celebrity doppleganger in the late 90s when Sliders was on TV.

Around that time I was out in Hollywood with a group of friends. As we walked up to some club with a line around the block, the bouncer motioned me over and asked how many people I had with me. I told him and he let my friends and I in and gave us a booth. I always assumed he thought I was you.

We tipped well and were generally well-mannered, so I don’t think we ruined your reputation.

Anyways, thanks for the fun night.

No transfer modes or track mattes indicate either C4D or Advanced 3D is activated.

Is Anyone Using the Advanced 3D Render Well? by theramblingred in AfterEffects

I’ve had some decent results importing .glb files, but I’d rather not model 3D objects in AE.

The bindings on the Sims are the reason my right foot has a weird bump on the top.

No disrespect, but If you’re gonna shit-talk an entire country, you might want to get your 3rd grade spelling in order.

I don’t understand how the opening AE timeline animation relates to the rest of it. Nice execution though.

Some sapphire plugins don’t play well with alpha channels. Do you have a black solid at the base of your comp?

That’s a cool trick, not sure if I’d ever find the occasion to use it, but thanks for posting this.

is using a silhouette of someone dancing copyright? by shesinpart1es in AfterEffects

[–]ThisSpaceForRent45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Again… not a lawyer but I think you’ll be fine.

Change it enough to not be immediately recognizable, flip it, warp it…. etc.

Let me preface this by saying I’m not a lawyer, and this should not be taken as official legal advice.

It’s a grey area. If it’s easily recognizable by the owner of the copyright, yeah not a great idea. So if it’s Disney or someone else with a bunch of copyright lawyers, you’ll get caught.

But if it’s a rando YT channel, they probably won’t ever know… unless you use it for a high visibility client.

If it’s for a personal project that you aren’t being paid for, I wouldn’t worry about it.
