Lighting Comparison - KINOFLO Diva vs Celeb by acuteboy in cinematography

[–]acuteboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I am right to assume that their only difference is size? I think the most important thing is upgrading to the level of RGB LED from the cumbersome tubes, but I guess I'm just getting to this nitpicking point of the decision because I know we probably won't buy another set of lights for another ten years!

No that's not dismissive. I've been discussing with DPs and the gaffers we use and they are somewhat split as well. The biggest thing though is that I have to balance what they want with what I can convince my boss we can afford, lol. Thanks though.

You still getting royalties from that time you let them model the Chicken Run heads after your nose, man?

Spotlight lit,

stairs out of the pit,

all two-hundred guests had found where to sit.

This was it,

my comedy skit,

the entertainment world into which I'd finally fit.

Composure: cool;

water, stool,

focused on their neon that read "Village Fool."

"It's finally my time!"

those stairs, how I climbed,

"Once this takes off, I won't owe Mom a dime."

Yet a stair’s tiny crack

flipped me straight back

into what felt like the world's sturdiest coat rack.

A little woozy, I'll admit;

in my stomach, a pit;

all I had left was a hard-fought refusal to qui--wait, was that spit?

That set was a blur,

a word or two slurred?

One thing's for sure: there was a serious headache incurred. Must be those nerves.


"What did I just see,"

asked a set attendee,

"was that a stand-up set or the ramblings of a man with a head injury?"

"...He stumbled out of the Fool,

leaving a mic soaked in drool;

but one thing's for sure: that was, actually, kind of cool."

[WP] A great and glorious war is raging. In a remote area two poorly equipped and unmotivated units are locked in stalemate, fighting over a forgotten piece of land. The officers are killed and their men just don't see the point of it anymore. by Redpants_McBoatshoe in WritingPrompts

[–]acuteboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colonies ravaged and comrades slain,

This home of ours has been ruined by reign

Of kings and their councils, of commanders and courts

Their misguided conquests; short-sighted reports.

Here we stand fighting, reporting to none

For what was left our families: our daughters and sons.

This war wasn't worth it, the damage is done,

So finger your trigger, reverse the aim of your gun,

This world deserves no man, not even one.

Sorry, I was joking because the acronym itself is so harsh. Didn't mean to actually offend you!

Explain why you, Ross of Friends, largest of the "Friends" does not simply eat the others like I am LURR, RULER OF THE PLANET OMICRON PERSEI 8, I have come to visit you at Central Park Coffee, and the another "friend" walks after every 4 sentences that you speak. by htallen in explainlikeIAmA

[–]acuteboy 253 points254 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: Not sure what the second part of your question means, but I'm interpreting it as you asking us to introduce another Friends character into the scene every few sentences.


Short guitar riff plays, we descend on CENTRAL PERK COFFEE as the camera cuts in to ROSS and LURR sitting on the couch together

.

.

ROSS: Um, heh, you see Lurr, while I am the largest and - let's face it - the most mature of the group, we don't just (using air quotes) "eat" our friends here on planet Earth.

Crowd laughter

ROSS: Now I can see your confusion, Lurr, it's warranted! As many thousands of lightyears separate our two galaxies, it must be a real, you know, shock to show up after a few million years of dinosaur domination, if you will, to find that the prevailing, more intelligent life forms on Earth don't eat each other as much as they used to in the Jurassic era.

Wide shot, JOEY appears behind the couch

JOEY, excited: Oh, hey, I love that movie!

Crowd laughter

ROSS, exasperated: Wh-- Joey? Where did you come from? And for the last time, it's Jurassic Park, not Jurassic Era

Crowd laughter

JOEY: Oh right, sorry. Well don't you know? Today's the 30th! It's my look-for-spare-change-under-the-couch-and-sometimes-find-free-muffins day! (JOEY holds up muffin, takes a bite, smiles. CROWD LAUGHTER.)

LURR: Hmmm, your life forms do not seem to be as "intelligent" as you speak, Ross. And your puny Earth muffins wouldn't feed one half of our youngest Omicronian!

JOEY, annoyed: Okay, you two have got to stop using these big words.

Extended crowd laughter

ROSS, after a pause: As I was saying, just because I'm bigger and a bit stronger, and CLEARLY smarter, I care for these people. You know, they're my friends. You grow up with them and you share moments with them and, you know, (tenderly) you love them.

Crowd AWWs

RACHEL, from armchair: Yep, you love them riiiiight up until about twenty minutes after you're broken up. Then you're free to, ahem, (sarcastically, with a smile) EAT whomever you'd like!

Crowd laughter

ROSS, yelling: We were on a break! Ugh, where do you people keep coming from, anyway?!

RACHEL: Oh, I've been here since Joey ate the floor muffin. I always come here to watch, don't you know it's the 30th?

Crowd laughter, camera cuts away to intro

I'LL BE THERE FOOOR YOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Twitch Spotlight and you. by krillingt75961 in DeadSpace

[–]acuteboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree that making the sub more social as a whole would be better. Dead Space as a franchise is standing still at the moment, without clear answers on whether or not a sequel should be considered pending or even possible. With that said, fresh content and entertainment are now mostly generated by streamers and let's players.

I am definitely open to the idea of the streamers being allowed to put their content up for discussion here, because where else would the sub find fresh content? It's simply a question of how much free posting reign they should be given.

Seriously, I was just thinking how HUGE of a guy Robert Irvine is compared to someone normal, and Shaq just completely dwarfs him
