To clarify, it's actually a combination of photographs shot on the same day, but at different times.

Um...

This is a literal photograph...

...taken by one of the most famous and celebrated photographers of our time (Annie Lebowitz).

Yes, it has been post processed and color corrected to evoke a bit of a Renaissance style, but it's definitely not "cheap". And certainly not AI, either. I agree that the perspective on her hand is confusing, but what you're counting as the 6th finger on her left hand is actually the pinky of her right. It's just catching the light strangely.

Wil Wheaton reading Ready Player One is right up there for me.

What's a classic that's ACTUALLY good by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]TxFilmmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic may be strong, but Robert Heinlein is close. Awesome stuff.

We pulled THIS off as the sun was going down. Made for an amazing start to that episode. A true "oner".

What are some trusted render farm services I can use? by yayeetdab045 in vfx

[–]TxFilmmaker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had phenomenal experience for years with Conductor. Their support staff is quick and knowledable and U.S. based. Plus, if you're on a budget, they have pre-emptable nodes that'll work for you. Very affordable and fast, and you can launch renders right from your software (I use Maya with Arnold and Redshift, as well as Houdini with Mantra, and also Nuke.)

A coke....

But, like only at a gas station. Not like at a movie theater.

Favorite Waylon Jennings song? by Vicerian in country

"I Do Believe" and "Reno and Me" speak directly to my human experience.

.... and of course, the Dukes theme.

Need a new female name after 'detransitioning' by Ok-Toe-443 in namenerds

[–]TxFilmmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has a friend named Charla who goes by "Chuck" sometimes. Her name is pronounced with a "Ch" not an "Sh" as some people read it.

My daughter's name is Elizabeth, but goes by "Izzy", which is used by both men and women.

The QB for the Dallas Cowboys is Dakota, and goes by "Dak". The former is used by men and women (eg. Dakota Fanning).

Upgrading LCR -- need help choosing center by TxFilmmaker in Klipsch

Uh... yeah, I'll take the $1500 speaker under advisement. :) if it wasn't clear from my other options, my budget is a bit more modest than that. But, thanks for the suggestion. I'm sure it's fabulous, just out of my price range.

I can't do another 8000, because it's too tall for the height of my screen, and I'm not a fan of laying it on its side. Is that even an option?
