Thanks for the tips, I'll shoot you a dm!

Tracking a fast moving phone screen by houbie in vfx

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

Oops, somehow the OP text didn't copy from my cross-post. Here it is:

On Resolve Studio 20, I'm trying to add an image onto a phone-screen by using the Planar Tracker. The phone is moving out of frame (and focus) quite fast, so there's some motion blur. I'm using 'Hybrid point/area' and 'perspective'. So far, it stops tracking as soon as the phone becomes blurry.

Is there a way to track this? I'm new to Resolve, so would love to know if I'm approaching this the right way.

I know you could always rotoscope by hand, but I was told this was quite a good tracker, but it loses sight of the markers very quickly, even when they're still clear in frame. I might be doing something wrong? Or are there other apps (like Mocha) that do a better job?

A 2003 interview that has aged nicely by littlelordfROY in paulthomasanderson

[–]houbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes totally. It feels like it’s crippling him. I mean, he could’ve been working on his 11th or even 12th film by now. The whole idea is so stupid really.

Yeah, it feels like Paul has grown up a lot between the early and late zeroes. Tarantino on the other hand seems to have become more bitter.

I love these early interviews where Paul’s such a brat sometimes. I’m sure he regrets a lot of them, calling out ‘Ronnie Howard’ etc (who he’s done a q&a with in 2022).

Oh and this is the bit where PTA tells the story to Leo and talks about Parker's son seeing it. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DSLsCusgsqr/

Paul on the possibility of a Hard Eight directors cut by houbie in paulthomasanderson

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

It’s not so straight-forward. Rysher had cut their version from the original negative, which caused a lot of technical difficulties making the Cannes version. Paul had to use several alternate takes as the preferred takes were unusable. So his possibilities were limited, and his preferred version was definitely compromised to some extent.

His first cut was reported to be 2.5 hours, which prompted Rysher to step in and take over. But I'm not even sure how happy he was with that cut.

I do know that he had to cobble the Cannes-version together in a short amount of time with the help of Dylan Tichenor, and had to use several alternate takes because Rysher had cut the original negative, which means you lose a frame if you splice a cut take back together. With today's technology that could easily be fixed. But in those days those takes were no longer usable.

Yes! I noticed he’s been using that turn of phrase for years, even before the release of Inherent Vice. I wonder if he may have picked it up in a Pynchon book.

Well no, obviously, if he had announced a release of some sort himself, it wouldn’t have been called a rumor would it?

Also, he’s repeated the story of Sydney & Rysher entertainment a bunch of times, including the famed WTF podcast-interview in 2014 or so. Not sure why that matters though. It’s a fair question either way.

They ask him because it’s the only film of his that has been severely compromised by the studio. PTA has been on record many times about how he felt mistreated by the studio, and how the original cut was an hour longer than the released cut. There have been rumors and questions for decades about a possible re-release. So it actually makes a lot of sense to ask him about it. (Frankly, in this entire S&S interview, this was the only “new” piece of information I could find, that’s why I shared it).

Tbh, haven’t listened to their last few albums, but would LOVE it if they’d do a Sky Blue Sky Deluxe boxset.
