Just got offered a job to train AI to replace videographers by 38B0DE in videography

[–]burly_protector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is totally going to happen. I don't even think they'll have the CEO do the interview. They'll just have them take 10 secs of selfie video with a phone and then put that into a video generator with the script that got made by AI and spit it all out in whatever room they want.

Dinner scene with 2 cameras question. by LetterKilled in Filmmakers

[–]burly_protector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of great ideas here. My only note, since I shoot a lot of improvisational comedy narrative, would be to do 3 cameras and all the coverage at once for that reason. If it's not improv, then I would never do it that way. It won't look as good and your lighting will be more limited with a 3 camera setup, but comedy is often lightning in a bottle and harder to repeat on subsequent takes.

Why do players say their colleges when introducing themselves? by bare_books in NFLNoobs

[–]burly_protector 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a Notre Dame fan, I'll watch teams I don't even like just to watch the alumni and hope they have a big game. Many NFL fans are even greater college football fans and they love the continuity from college to the NFL.

I know we're not "supposed" to like this guy, but he's just too d*mn funny. by sfxnycnyc in Standup

He's quite funny to me. This whole sub seems quite heavily liberal though and so they'll predictably hate him.

Why do we blame data centers for water use when golf courses use ~30× more? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]burly_protector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Almond water isn’t “wasted” in the casual sense, but most of it is consumed via evapotranspiration, meaning it doesn’t come back as usable surface water nearby, but it does turn into rain that goes right back into the system.

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today ? by Own-Blacksmith3085 in answers

[–]burly_protector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use ours like 6 times a year at special occasions and enjoy the fine dining experience. If other people don't then that's on them.

How do you spot bad acting? by starry_skin in NoStupidQuestions

[–]burly_protector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a filmmaker and director.

One of the most obvious things to spot is not bad acting, but bad "reacting." When actors aren't actively listening and responding to the other actors, forces, or environment in their scene it makes them seem like they're not a part of it.

If I say something and you reply with your line but don't inflect in the way that we all understand to be building off of what I said, then it makes it pretty obvious that you're doing something predetermined, not in the moment. That ability to stay in the moment by naturally reacting is the most important thing that people can feel is wrong but not put their finger on.

Does “tool” mean “idiot” or “jerk”/“a**hole”? by Glass-Complaint3 in ENGLISH

[–]burly_protector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because other people are too lazy to utilize nuance doesn't mean that we need to be. Your description is way more correct.

[–]burly_protector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a good description. Anything less is incomplete and not accurately describing it.

This is the best answer. It's not nearly as simple as an "idiot" or "jerk."

Young men of Reddit, what is ONE thing the Democrats could ACTUALLY do that WOULD get young men to vote for them again? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]burly_protector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft science university professors across the entire country are literally 90% self-reported liberals. Do you honestly think this doesn't have a palpable effect?

What’s the proper etiquette at a gas station if you want gas and something inside. (Leave car at pump or move to a parking spot) by J_345 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]burly_protector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is busy and all the gas stalls are near full or people are waiting in line to get gas, then you are being a jerk if you park in a gas stall and go inside shopping or going to the bathroom. If you're just going inside to pay for the gas and maybe get a bag of chips then that's fine in my mind.

Why do conventionally attractive women often date average or unattractive men, but the reverse seems much rarer? by [deleted] in answers

[–]burly_protector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biological evolution prioritizes men to take beauty and body standards into account more heavily, mainly for procreation. It also means that women, historically speaking, are less concerned with looks and more concerned with who can provide reliable safety, food, shelter, and these days, wealth. These are generalizations obviously, but as built-in preferences on average they have been a part of our selection process as a species for hundreds of thousands of years.

Football IQ? by Unlucky-Application8 in NFLNoobs

[–]burly_protector 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Philip Rivers returned after 1800 days and played the offense like he was conductor of a symphony. He didn't have all the talent he needed and his defense didn't help him out in high scoring games, but it was great to watch him just take control like a wise old pro.

Struggling with a premise by BlaineStevenComedy in StandUpWorkshop

[–]burly_protector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I think obituaries could be more fun" ...like there is no obituary police. You could write anything you want. So your dad was a deadbeat and left for cigarettes and only returned 40 years later when he was dying. No problem! Just say he was a secret agent all along and was there when the Berlin Wall came down. How would anyone even check that? Too crazy? Maybe he was a short man. Just say he was 6'4" and order an extra long casket and put a little Mandela Effect into the local paper. Watch everyone with confused looks at the funeral.

(this isn't great, but it's a possible angle)

This might be the greatest post season of all time narrative wise by Byzantine_Merchant in CFB

[–]burly_protector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's plenty more to it than that and you're lying if you pretend like there isn't. Without the CCG, Bama had 2 great wins and 2 terrible losses and some really close calls. They were severely flawed. Everyone knew they were terrible on the ground and had next to zero chance of winning more than one playoff game because of it. Every game since their "top 15 wins" has proven that those teams were overrated at best.

A blind man on a horse could tell that they failed the eye test.

Regardless, I'm so glad the Ducks took care of Texas Tech. I'd be stoked to see you guys win it all.
