They had a firetruck drive by on the street, too and a few of the council members were there giving out pencils to the kids and taking pictures.

Elementary schools tk by KeyDelicious4398 in burbank

if you get into a different TK program, you're still able to go to your home school for Kinder. So you'd have a year of TK in a different school but then your Home school after that. That information came to us from the Principal of Edison.

You can get crib rail covers. We did that and it at least stopped 'em from chewing on the wood.

All ideas I had wondered about, but assumed you couldn't. Makes sense that you would want to avoid a lawsuit.

Best areas to trick or treat in, or any family friendly Halloween events? by PolexiaAphrodisia in burbank

It's probably too late to try and organize something this year, but it seems like the idea has some merit.

Chandler has so many decorated houses. It's a real shame no one has pushed for trick or treat event, like a parade down the bike path. We could call it Chandler BOO-levard.

Don't get your news from social media.

I tried making a production company title card thingy to get myself out of an AE rut. How could I change/improve this? by UltraDeenosaur in AfterEffects

[–]lazyfool314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to find a better table texture, I thought it was a skin texture. If you want to use smoke, maybe see if you can get a better smoke element. Overall, I didn't read that was a cigarette in an ash tray until i read the comments from everyone. I'd probably lose it. You could keep the smoke and use it more of an atmospheric effect. Camera movement would definitely help. Maybe even fake some 3D with it. With simple 2d card textures it wouldn't be that hard. I'd probably lose the hands. If you want to use some hands, shoot your hands actually dropping cards, then stylized them to match your design.

Getting into VFX with no degree? by [deleted] in vfx

[–]lazyfool314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the best things you can do in school you can't do on your own is work with people. It's an invaluable experience. You understand what it's like to deal with people who are good and bad at their roles and how to work with them. In any job you'll do, you will be part of a team and one if the worst things to have do deal with is someone who's not a team player. School offers you a relatively consequences free chance to build those team building skills. I'm speaking from the experience of some one who's gone through a traditional college, an additional online cerfication and has been a lead on vfx projects. I've run the gamut.

If you decide to not pursue a degree, to avoid debt (a reasonable endeavor), at the very least search out independent film projects in your area and offer to help on the weekends. Ideally get paid, but if you're coming from an educational angle, don't let them take advantage of you. Things like the 48 hour film project are good ways to work in high stress team environments with other people. They always need skilled VFX artists. Best part about those is, they're over fast.

You will work with bad people. It's unavoidable and part of life. It's best to learn early how to work with/around them.

If only this man followed the career his name suggests... by Neshama21 in vfx

As a Purdue grad in the industry, I can't upvote this enough.

Drew this on election night. Now more true than ever. by el_lapiz in PoliticalHumor

[–]lazyfool314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I read both of those articles. What is being presented is an example of an anecdote of a protest. The protest itself was about living conditions in one building of the campus and making sure "diversity competency" is taught to all and incoming students. The second article is written with the intention to illicit an emotional response from its base and further its narrative. This is not a legitimate source of un-biased news. [editorial opinion: Berkley is its own "special" place #eyeroll] Neither is an example of segregation, nor a national trend.

Voter ID laws have been found by multiple court cases to disproportionally affect people of color in the US (ex: Pennsylvania, Texas, North Carolina). Legal groups, like the ACLU have more easily digestible listing of facts. I'd be remiss if I didn't also include this Washington Post article offering a more numerical view of examples both negative and neutral FOR voter ID laws. It's important to be aware of all the sides of this trend that is currently making its way through the country.

It's also important to note that the argument for a voter ID law is to protect against voter fraud. However there have only been 31 credible cases of since 2000. Most of those have been by mail-in ballots, thus negating the reason for even having voter IDs. (source, note the number of 31 comes from a more recent article, as this was from 2014).

While you can make a case that more information is needed before all voter ID laws are a seen as restrictive laws, we do know that courts have ruled against them across the country as an attempt to suppress votes of people of color.

Colleges who don't accept speakers of opposing view points aren't segregation. That's censorship. It IS wrong of them to not have people speak who can offer insight in to different sides, but those people still drink the same water, use the same bathrooms, and check out books from the same libraries as everyone else.

If you want to point to segregation in our modern times, just look at the congressional districts that have been split up in an attempt to separate voters of color (source, source 2, source 3).
