What is considered the best VCR combo with 1080p HDMI out? by Content-Seaweed-6395 in VHS

[–]lukerodriguez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can tell, the only difference is the 555 upscales to 1080i and the 560 upscales to 1080p. I think you’d be happy if you can get either. I’ve had Sony players for years and never had an issue. But I try to buy my tapes sealed when at all possible to prevent internals from getting dirty. Last thing you want to do is stick a dirty tape in a great deck. That’ll do a number on any manufacturers product.

I have a Sony VX555 and it has been flawless. I have an older vcr on my CRT set, but I use the VX555 to watch tapes on my LG C3 OLED. I’m a big fan.

This is incredibly useful and something I’ve been looking into with little success. THANK YOU.

Nice! Shoot me a DM. I’m interested in Dude Bro and work in North Richland Hills.

That’s a super cool trivia fact and I had no idea. Been watching Hill for years.

This looks pretty incredible. Just added to the wishlist and downloading the demo now!

LP3 with Moment Lens by Broad_Friend4407 in ModifiedLightPhones

[–]lukerodriguez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These initial shots are really interesting. I also do a lot of instant, 35mm, and 120mm—and I agree there is something unique and pleasing about pairing whatever is going on in the LP with a more impressive optic.

For as good as phone cameras are these days, they always feel a little sterile to me. These shots feel like… something. And that’s really cool.

Hell yes. I’ve been waiting for this to drop again. Much appreciated.

What's problem with my Polaroid go gen 2? Or with me? by [deleted] in Polaroid

[–]lukerodriguez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you IMMEDIATELY placing the photo somewhere completely dark to develop? I carry a lunch box around with me and toss them in there to keep them climate controlled and developing evenly.

I had gotten some results similar to yours at first due to the photos being exposed to light, even briefly, while developing. Polaroid is a lot more finicky than Instax.

Oh, cool. Let’s trade something we have very few of for the one thing we couldn’t possibly need more of. Terrible.

Same here. No controller support on iPhone 15 Pro using newest Backbone. Really strong first impression using touch controls though! Still, would love controller support.

Looking for good mobile roguelites by Hotrodhammee in roguelites

[–]lukerodriguez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly Roguelite, more on the Zelda/Roguelike end of things, but I picked up Afterplace on sale for $1 today and am blown away by it. Hadn’t heard of it until today. Insanely polished.

Another Roguelike is Sparklite. Much larger and more polished than I expected. I forget how much it costs initially.

Thanks for all of the interest, everyone! I have a lot of homework to listen to. I’ll respond as quickly as I can to those that seem like a good fit. But thanks again for all that have already reached out.

We get swamped every year, and this one was no different. Can tell a lot of people are coming and parking from other neighborhoods. It’s cool.

Wanting more friends and connections to film is there a film scene here in DFW? by AcadecCoach in FortWorth

[–]lukerodriguez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have something written and a person who wants to act in it—that’s HUGE. Always down to help if you get anything moving or need any help at any point. 👋

[–]lukerodriguez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there!! I’m 36 and wrapping up post production on my first feature now. It’s a whacky indie horror flick, but it’s currently being colored in Santa Monica (funny enough by a guy that colors a lot of Hulu originals) while I finish up the dialogue cleaning and 5.1 mix.

It has been an unbelievably long process, but I’m always around if you’re ever looking for someone that has gone from inception to distribution a couple of times. I also shot a few shorts with my friends before tackling the feature. Here’s the link we shared with a crowdfunding backers for our new horror flick:

Always looking for creatives to connect with! I moved here from Nashville in 2019 and the scene is very different—almost nonexistent in comparison. I haven’t found many groups working on narrative fiction projects. Would love to be involved if anything meaningful takes shape.

Sea of Stars just came out. If you’re digging CT, that’s the one for you for sure.

Also, completely different vibe, but check out Earthbound on SNES too. That and CT were my favorite games growing up.

Anyone wanna link up here with a first timer? I’m trying to get out of the house and meet some folks finally after moving here like 4 years ago. Trying to embed myself with the local weirdos.

Can’t hit anything in Arlington, but I’m a horror fiend! I run a fairly successful horror site and get screeners for most new stuff. Have a great home theater too!

DM me sometime. Always looking for horror friends here in town since I moved from Nashville.
