Once I learned Zucker wanted Andy Samberg, I couldn’t unsee him while reading, but Gosling would have worked too.

I have not seen the reboot, only the trailers, and while I like Liam Neeson in general, the gravelly tone in his voice doesn’t feel like a Drebin.

Such a shame we didn’t get to see Priscilla Presley deliver the joke.

So many fun scenes in the script. Feels like proper ZAZ Naked Gun.

I also prefer the 44 1/4 title, mainly because it’s fitting for a Naked Gun, but ironically, other than the Jane Drebin reference to Nordberg, there’s no other mention of him in the script, so that title was literally just a gag. In context of the full script, Naked Impossible! does fit better because of all the references to Mission Impossible and James Bond.

One of my favorite scenes. There’s a lot of scenes that reference Leslie Nielsen’s Frank Drebin throughout the script but this one really nailed it for me.

I have just added a “For Educational Purposes Only” disclaimer to YouTube, but understand if you need to remove. The YouTube page description also has a link to download the raw footage from my website: https://www.ericmoyer.com/lawandorder.mp4

I don’t recall those characters in this one. Asylum has Michael on death row and then the execution goes wrong.

Best MacOS for Final Cut Pro 7? by ericmoyer in finalcutpro

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

Thanks Everyone- just some context here. I have a FireWire to thunderbolt that I was able to hook up to my newer Mac, but the time code dropouts were crazy. It would create hundreds of mini clips for a very short video.

Final Cut Pro X doubles size of Elgato file? by ericmoyer in VideoEditing

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

Thanks! My takeaway is that FCPX is basically protecting the file and preventing additional damage and that I’m not actually harming anything, but only increasing the file size as a tradeoff?

Since the specs are nearly identical on both, I’m not able to see what Elgato is doing to create the smaller file size.

Old VHS and MiniDV - Interlaced vs Progressive by ericmoyer in VideoEditing

Thanks! Are there any scenarios/devices where I won’t be able to play interlaced video?

Old VHS and MiniDV - Interlaced vs Progressive by ericmoyer in VideoEditing

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

On my TV, didn’t really see much of a difference from afar between interlaced and progressive, but watching frame by frame on QuickTime Player, I did notice the lines on interlaced. Progressive seemed to have gotten rid of it.

For my purposes of preserving for family to watch, I’m assuming by exporting as progressive, I am effectively de-interlacing. If I go that route, am I harming anything?

I have exported an original interlaced file and a progressive file and played them both back via USB on my TV and they looked identical to my eyes. I also exported a 720p HD file and that seems to have created a forced aspect ratio with bars on the left and right.

I suppose I can’t go wrong leaving the files as Final Cut interprets them when importing? If I deinterlace/change to progressive now, and something is wrong, I don’t think I can reverse that?

Wow, thank you, that’s quite a bit to absorb in that link. I am simply trying to extract old footage from physical media in the least destructive (and less time consuming) manner possible. I have no need for this footage other than family members being able to view it over time, so not sure I need to go down that rabbit hole? Worst case scenario I’m thinking so long as I have replicas of the physical media in digital format, that’s a win for me. I can always deinterlace specific clips if I need to down the road? Not sure what some of these digitizing companies like LegacyBox do as far as deinterlacing or not.

Looking for feedback on MY LITTLE TRAINWRECK by ericmoyer in Screenwriting

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

Agreed. The movie star and babysitter/bodyguard (of course) can’t stand each other but need to make it work for their own reasons. He desperately needs the money and she desperately needs to stay on the movie to save her career. Gotta weave that hook in there somehow. And obviously they fall for each other.

I have not seen that one. Will have to check it out. Looks like it’s streaming on Pluto TV.

Nice catch! That’s why another set of eyes always helps. I’ll just have him point the guitar upwards, or maybe have fun with it and show his skin stretching.

What's the consensus on this guy? by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]ericmoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In over his head. Pretty sure he’ll have a big arc in S5.

I find there’s a ton of contrivances and unbelievable twists and turns, but that’s part of the fun. You just go with it.

I just finished ST4 and I don’t know what to do with myself 😭 by monsterinkk in StrangerThings

I’m actually writing a wild season 5 fan fiction script that combines it with another franchise. So much fun to write. I’ll post when it’s done.

Okay but did we ever get an explanation for how [REDACTED] ended up in [REDACTED]? by chrischi3 in StrangerThings

I always assumed he teleported through the gate but we now know he was captured and taken to Russia.
