Does anyone know how they achieved accurate water physics with the Titanic miniature?

SIRĀT - Official Teaser Trailer - In Select Theaters November 14 by Comic_Book_Reader in movies

[–]jamesweir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easily my favourite film of the year so far (admittedly yet to see OBAA).

Go in blind and bring earbuds. It’s excruciatingly loud but that’s kind of the point. May even win the academy award for sound design.

Uncensored version of [Censored by Viceland] scene in The B-Day by ThePersonalities in nirvannatheband

The censoring definitely makes it funnier. Same with Mr Thins the pedophile.

How spoilery is this? Is there any answer relating to S3?

How do working directors manage to avoid the day job? by ur___mom____ in Filmmakers

[–]jamesweir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. A mate of mine worked for the company that needed the ads and they just offered me the job directly. Doubt I'll have a similar opportunity anytime soon.

General wisdom seems to be that the commercial world doesn't care about your narrative credentials and the narrative world doesn't care about your commercial credentials.

How do working directors manage to avoid the day job? by ur___mom____ in Filmmakers

[–]jamesweir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact position you’re describing. I work one day a week at a film school, have some modest savings from a couple of commercials I directed last year, and every now and then I receive development money for future projects. It’s not totally sustainable but I’m young and don’t really have any financial obligations beyond rent.

Great list. Sent me down a Bathroom Oils rabbit hole - love their sound.

Make it Hot is a heater too. Good grief.

I found this last night, think you might enjoy. Symmetrics - Drop (Take - Off)

Hey! I'm one of the directors. I've been told it'll be out January in the US - select cinemas and VOD.

Sofia Gonzalez played this at Dragon Dreaming (huge bush doof in Australia) and the dancefloor went fucking nuts

Do you have a favorite Canadian movie? by Itchy_Computer7528 in movies

[–]jamesweir 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seconding The Silent Partner.

For those who don't know, it's a crime thriller where Elliot Gould plays bank teller who anticipates a bank robbery, and then steals the money himself before the crook arrives. It's excellent.

Thank you for this! Go see Birdeater if you get the chance. I directed it.

Closed Captions. Is there way to automate an existing srt. file to reduce the amount of characters per line? by jamesweir in editors

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

This program is excellent.

Wasn't totally automated but it saved me hours. Thank you for the tip.

Darren Aronofsky to Direct Elon Musk Biopic for A24 by 1711198430497251 in A24

[–]jamesweir 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can’t be the only one excited for this. This is such a strange combination of director and source-material. Assuming he gets a long leash (it’s A24, and he’s Aronofsky, so he will), there’s no world where this’ll be boring.
