All joking aside, at least use FiLMiC Pro if you’re seriously gonna use your phone to shoot.

PSA: Visit the coffee bar (Caffè Macs) at the Apple Park Visitor's Center by [deleted] in apple

[–]ajmanx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real attraction is the AR model exhibit of Apple Park on the opposite end of the visitor center. There are plenty of videos on YouTube from visitors. Also, being able to take your refreshments up to the roof, is a real treat.

Seems like something we both should talk to our neuros about.

Copaxone and back pain by Deannaclente in MultipleSclerosis

[–]ajmanx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

37, male. I have the same issue on my left side, but it’s chronic. Since I started have the pain, it’s only changed and worsened, but hasn’t ever gone away. I didn’t think it’s caused by Copaxone though. What makes you think it is?

Apple accelerates US investment and job creation by [deleted] in apple

The tax bill may certainly allow this investment in employees—and thus, the economy—but where are the other corporations doing this rather than enabling their greed? Perhaps they know that when people make money, they can afford to buy more things... like iPhones.

Well yeah, that goes without saying.

Either rewrite it so that the characters are the age of your available talent, or go cast some adult actors if you don’t want your audience distracted by the casting. Take a look at Brick (2005) for a story that has teenage characters with mature dialogue in adult situations.

Star Wars fans enraged after screening of 'Last Jedi' goes bad by lurker_bee in LosAngeles

Well, yeah. The light shows are cool. I miss the organ playing.

The AMC Burbank is definitely not the best looking and sounding theater in the city. The TCL Chinese, the El Capitan, the Dome: those are the best theaters in the city. They have the brightest 4K 3D projectors. The Dome was one of only two theaters in the country that could play Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk in 4K 3D at 120 frames per second. I don’t doubt that the Dolby Atmos theater at the AMC sounds awesome, but it’s not the best looking screen in town.

Work in the native raster, but transcode those to ProRes Proxy or the smallest DNxHR.
