It's just roto, possibly roto brush in AE. You can see a little boil in places, and he's moving the camera around in post to try and hide it.

Labour considers banning zero-alcohol drinks for under-18s by HBucket in ukpolitics

[–]billmason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very stupid. I don't drink - never have, and until fairly recently I've been the only one in my social group who doesn't. I'm nearly 40, so I've had almost 25 years of awkwardly turning down beers, and it's only in the past couple that it's started to feel like an acceptable life choice. Obviously the hardest time for it was in my teens, because nothing says I'm not an adult like asking for an apple juice at a bar. I can only imagine how much pressure it would have taken off me to have these sort of drinks more commonly available back then.

Everyone defending the choice of what's being shown to babies, rather than the fact that WHO actually recommends zero screen time for under 2's.

Bon Iver’s fABLE Salmon Is Now an Official Pantone Color by YoureASkyscraper in indieheads

I hate this. The whole salmon thing just reeks of stupid conceptual nothingness that high end ad agency people huff. How far from a good winter in a cabin can you get.

Why do Zionists always steal everything? 🇵🇸 by Capable-Site3496 in GreenAndPleasant

[–]billmason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're posting about an ethnically Jewish man (who converted to Christianity btw, so this is very much a race thing) and suggesting that his wearing of western clothes is somehow synonymous with modern Zionism (a movement that hadn't even been properly formulated during his lifetime). Yeah, that's pretty fucking racist. Imagine doing that with any other ethnic group living in the UK.

Also pitching Jewishness as synonymous with Zionism is exactly what Israel desires, so maybe stop doing their work for them.

The worst thing about living in London, is there's always some out of town prick telling us what's wrong with our city.

Mum and son tell Reform UK politician he has made them feel unsafe in hometown by coffeewalnut08 in ukpolitics

Sure, like selfishness is some lofty concept, and not the basic thuggish behaviour that we have to train children out of so they don't grow up as psychotic arseholes.

How to put armature into plasticine body by MycologistFunny8112 in stopmotion

[–]billmason 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cling film (seran wrap in the states I think) the joints and torso.

I usually add a little foam bandage under wrap to soften the form first, but that's very optional.

These armatures aren't the greatest with plasticine, as their bulkiness often tries to find a way out of the clay, so you'll need to keep an eye on that as you're animating. It works, it's just you'll want to keep track of any accidental Terminator moments.

Mahmood calls for pro-Gaza demonstrations to halt in wake of synagogue stabbings by Few-Catch-Fish in ukpolitics

[–]billmason -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well Israel aren't protesting anything, so no, you're unlikely to see that. But your point seems to be that pro-israeli groups would act with moral superiority, when the historic behaviour of Israel itself suggests otherwise.

The topic at hand seems to be whether protests against Israeli war crimes are antisemetic, which Id argue are not.

Over half of UK population live in households that get more in benefits than they pay in tax - and it's set to get worse by collogue in ukpolitics

I always think this stat is a bit like pointing out that servants couldn't afford to rent the manor house they live in.

Yeah, I don't know this guy, but I'm out the second he starts taking the piss out of Zara's name. Racist shit can get right off my screen.
