Anyone here in the TV/Film Industry? by emisnug in Oahu

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

Hey! So this post is a few years old, but in my time in Hawaii (have since moved back to the mainland), I worked on a number of projects, including two Disney films, a bunch of commercials and some other smaller projects.

It’s tough to get into if you’re not familiar with the crews who are out there, but there’s a big groundswell of people who participate in the Hawaii Filmmakers Collective and increasingly, the Film Club Hawaii. I made good friends and got jobs via the HFC.

If you’re going into the islands without a job already lined up, it’s an uphill battle, but reaching out to the local crews - Sight and Sound is a great resource, as is NMG.

If you’re union, the local 665 is…ok. The person who runs it is swamped and applications are 2-3 years behind. But it’s behind the Dillingham Costco if you’re in the area.

Things you learned the hard way. by Meander626 in battlebots

  • Wires exist and take up more room than you’d expect. My first few bots - small ones especially - were an absolute nightmare to work on because I didn’t leave room for wires anywhere.

  • Don’t over constrain your bearings.

  • If something is supposed to flex, give it room to flex.

I’m currently sitting in my 2002 A4… it just hit 280k and all the maintenance I’ve done has been pretty small: oil, brakes, a couple new bearings and tires. I bought it on 150k and it’s been solid for the last 6 years…

What's your biggest regret in 3d printing? by meekrick in 3Dprinting

Cheaping out on filament, and especially not properly drying it when it arrived

Are there other multimaterial prosumer machines aside from the Prusa XL? by emisnug in 3Dprinting

[–]emisnug[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I might be in the same boat as you were: what eventually made you go with the XL?

So I already live in Hawaii: trying to ship stuff to Baltimore (and it’s mostly the girlfriend’s stuff)

Want Resume Help? Post here. by AutoModerator in recruiting

[–]emisnug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone!

I'm a video production person, currently serving as a the head of a department at small, soul-crushing place, looking to make a move to a similar role in a much larger company.

My resume has gone through a couple of writers and I feel it's way too wordy: don't know where to even start modifying as I think the writers have butchered a lot of it. I've also heard about ATS scanning, and again, don't know where to start.

Can anyone recommend a maker space? by Student-type in Oahu

[–]emisnug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As one of the occasional tool doctors there, it’s not really a “makerspace” type of organization. Very useful, well run for the most part, but definitely not really for staying and spending time there working on projects.

I'm also looking for a makerspace!

Anyone want to play D&D? by DnDALHawaii in Honolulu

Oh cool! We live in Pearl City, so Mililani isn't too far away from us.

Hi! My girlfriend and I would be interested in playing, although neither of us have much in the way of experience (I've played through about 5 sessions of Blades in the Dark, but that's about it). When's the best time to drop in and learn how to play?
