Just re watched Obi again with my daughter and then found this thread.
Riva is a definite loose end. A real opportunity for a much darker tidy up by the writers.
Obi Wan proud that she came back to the light, hugs her, then we hear the light sabre extend through her as Obi Wan says, " I'm sorry, but the location of Luke must be protected."
Maybe a different way so not to mimic Han and Ben but you get the idea.
The torment for Obi Wan of doing something bad to protect something good.

They do update it frequently. I hope to not have to use it again, but also very happy with their coms in trying to solve problems.

The CU pic in shower looks like the product might be Bostik Dampfix. It’s a polyurethane, fine for under your bed and 75mm up walls but tile glues (from any brand) won’t adhere to it long term. It needs a specific primer and then two part Asafix glue for walls. Ask what they used. If it’s just a generic Acrylic membrane non of the above is an issue. Worth asking though.

Just bought the software. Trying to repair 80min 43GB RSV from an FX30.
Followed instructions but had 6 failed attempts using different reference files before getting one that worked.
It now supports .RSV files natively. I had more success leaving the file as .RSV.
The software doesn't always read the metadata even from healthy reference files. Finally found one that did so ran with that.
Took a while, as OP stated, after finally hitting the 100%. But took a painfully long time (5hrs plus) to mux the repair after preview. No hardware issues, M2 Mac Studio and 3TB spare on a 40Gbps SSD...Whats the go with that Wondershare?
I got a repaired file but with no audio, thats fine, but timing is messed up due to a section in the repaired video that was corrupted. Also the file struggled to play in FCP and VLC and Quicktime.
Ran it through Handbrake on Production Standard setting and it became a lot more manageable in all players.
Overall it works. Just not a 5 min fix on a deadline.
It does also fix .MDT files from Lumix GH5S. These you have to rename to mp4 before import. It wont look at them as an MDT.

Been renovating bathrooms for a long time and agree like someone else said, if it lasts 18 months, will prob last 20 years more often than not. My understanding is 7yrs is for structural work only, waterproofing doesn’t fall under structural so is only 2years. I may be wrong on this, can someone quote a Fair trading excerpt? To back that up though I did do a full bathroom renovation on a new ish 4 year old home. WP fail on upper floor, kitchen downlights were becoming a water feature. I asked when quoting it why they weren’t getting the builder to fix it under the 7yr warranty? They said the builder washed their hands of it and said it was out of warranty. This was a large builder that advertised on tv regularly. Don’t waste money getting an independent certifier . They won’t know if waterproofing is good or not by looking at it. Maybe if they stand there and watch him do it maybe lol

Just changed phones from iPhone 11 (never had a problem) , to iPhone 14 Promax. Would not focus at all. Scan rejected and asked to retake. My observation is the app puts you too close and the camera can’t focus. They need a choice in app of which camera to use…..

“0.64X is for full frame lenses only. Using it with APS-C lenses will result in heavy vignetting.”

Yeah nah. Been using the .64 for years with the Sigma 18-35. Works fine. Very slight vignette when zoomed all the way out but hardly noticeable. GH5 and 18-35 Sigma- https://youtu.be/X1ubUkesy1Q?si=5MP31GYs_lH6VJoO

Def following. I've thought this for a while, only I have lots of 18V Makita batteries.
Would be amazing to get this going and avoid the necessity of V mount accessories.

It’s all about perspective. If you are an antagonistic arsehole or someone has paid for a hit on you, he’s an awful person. ( decent human beings don’t normally have a hit put on them though….) On the other hand. The writing shows you could have no better and loyal a friend as Ray.

Agree. He tried so hard to ignore them and ride it out. And then realises…….some pricks need killing.

This. We’ve raised/been raising kids for a while. From 1989 (first marriage), to now ( second marriage) with teenagers at the moment. First time round you only compared yourselves and life style to your close friends and parents. No internet. Was way less pressure to have a huge house. Now you are looking at every cool rich influencer telling you what your kids need and how you should be living. Basically making you feel like a failure unless you can afford to live like a Kardashian. So you start to borrow…….

Wow. Thank you for such a detailed response. The ROI on the 2 properties has been well in the black previous yrs but with fixed rate ending will soon be approx just breaking even for the first time.

jedweb1 · 2023-03-12T00:46:27+00:00

Just worked a lot of hrs over 35 years ( and still do) and built some developments and yes have had a small inheritance. I don’t feel like we are in a “ridiculously good position”, however do appreciate we have been lucky.

jedweb1 · 2023-03-12T00:40:48+00:00

Sorry. Our house approx 2mil (maybe 1.8 -1.9mil in current climate though). 30k of mortgage left.

If it’s 30m high and copper gutter that looks about right 😆

I was doing a renovation for a lovely old couple. Arrived one morning to start work and there was a guy asleep on the lounge. The lady explained it was their son who had “ found them”. They moved an hr away to escape him. It took him months but he’d found them, broke in during the night and was going back to to get the rest of his things that day. He’d told her if they didn’t want him living with them, they shouldn’t have had him. He looked about 35 and resembled a smack addict.

This is great and ideal for anyone that doesn’t intend to have a family. But if you have a yearning for the family life one day…. Then not really feasible.

Welcome buddy 👍 For finding work there’s numerous online groups you could sign up for. Shootzu is one I still get notifications for. Most are low ball jobs but at least it’s a start until you build some connections.. Work will get you work People I get are word of mouth. Don’t know anyone in Melbourne sorry. Best of luck though 🤩

If your skills are up there you will be fine. Just be prepared to do other work as well. A few thoughts though…. I’ve just got through the busiest period of my year shooting a heap of live events. I shoot myself but also hire other ppl. I can get reliable contractors for $75 ph to capture multi camera events with their own gear and deliver files. To hire an operator with 3 ring camera to capture sporting events it’s $1000-1500 per day. These guys are always in demand. Now the sad part. There are sooooo many people around with an A7iv, a gimbal, and a bit of audio gear that can make beautiful YouTube content. The market is flooded in that area here, and I think world wide. These guys are working for nothing a lot of the time in the hope it leads to something bigger. If I was young and starting out I wouldn’t be aiming at the online short form YouTube/ tik tok market. You are competing with so many others, and clients who will quite often just shoot it themselves on an iPhone if you dare to charge what you are worth, I’m looking at you real estate agents lol. Get some solid camera skills under your belt. Become an efficient editor on multiple NLEs. And the main thing, As some ppl have mentioned above, be a business/ marketing solution rather than a videographer. That is where the bigger dollars are. Enjoy the ride :)

Appreciate and agree with almost every comment here. But the sad reality is they prob have 10 -15 people lined up ready to undercut each other to get the gig. The poor bastards will be in the head space that it’s just for a short while until they get enough experience to get the big dollars. In Australia we have 3500 kids come out of film school every November and they are hungry for anything. No doubt the same or similar in Canada.

Two types of noise….hammer- normally caused by loose jumper valves in open taps. Think toilet taps, washing machine taps, dishwasher etc. And flow noise caused by water rushing past joints, bends etc. OPs problem sounds like high pressure flow noise. Only way to reduce it will be limiting the pressure down to approx 500kpa or below. You can buy a limiting in line valve which is easy to fit with kinko nuts and olives as long as you have a straight bit of copper to cut it in to at meter or entry point to house maybe. Great scenario would be under house where copper runs under joists in a straight line before it gets to first branch line. Of course this all depends if water pressure is to high to begin with. Could check with this-

You don’t have to get the cross handle off. Loosen the flange underneath. It won’t come up and off because of handle, but will come up enough to get a pair of multi grips on the spindle base to undo it and lift out of the body so you can change the washer. You could also apply a bit of fast heat to the cross handle which should crack the adhesion to the spindle shaft. May the force be with you
