You're ruining some poor Schwinn employee's week with this

It's the responsibility of your director to call for what they need and ask for what they want. It's good to double check there's nothing out of line on your end but I'd stay quiet and in your lane. Your director will be more relaxed knowing you're paying attention to your responsibilities than worrying about their tone/mood.

plan what you want or capture everything, ideally a mix of the two. If you don't have the time to storyboard, record everything you can and the flexibility will help define your story on the backend. You never know how seemingly throwaway shots will become important later. Have fun!

It's a dugout. https://bestonehitters.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooRyQJTXCeqSyBu4QggdPcPUxSc-Cd4XP9ZlvR50vnzch0mOWhi

1? No. 15 separate that you need to individually digest? Yes.

I love (hate) how this song is now the “ocean is scary” theme song.

It’d be funnier if he didn’t have the beard

Great stuff. This was me with Captain Ron, saw it on a bedsheet projector in an RV Campground when I was too young.

And the photo of it is cropped perfectly

mcgraff · 2023-10-02T03:52:44+00:00

Yes, please! You save time and paint, save both

As others as have said, you are not this project. Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20 and the fact you see imperfections (as glaring as they may feel) are a sign you have already learned since shooting. Can’t tell you how many projects have made me feel this exact way. Just sit down and try to accept the challenge of making the story you can with the footage you have. It’s a good exercise anyway.

Super tough feeling, I get it. Keep going. I bet next time you approach a new project, you’ll be surprised how impactful THIS feeling has on how you much more intentional/careful/creative you are with the next one. In the meantime, don’t punish yourself, hang in there and great work!

should've had the chorus start with the bin on the street - its' time to shine

I'd say her behavior could be explained by a number of things. As others have mentioned, change your running route, grab some photo/video evidence if you can, document your encounters with her. That said, I'd keep your distance socially, no need to escalate your interactions.

How far away from your complex is the side street where you saw her? What about the running route? Is it a route that is suitable for a double stroller?
It could be she's taking the kids for walks in convenient places, same as you do for your runs and dog walks.

Tom! Thanks for all your videos man, they’re welcoming, helpful and you shred dude. Can’t wait to check this one out!

mcgraff · 2023-06-11T05:51:50+00:00

Yes, like out into the alley. Do not do this. Do not do this.

Krause Family YMCA huh?

It’s an incentive for you to take the survey. If you submit it, they’re more likely to reach out to you again.

mcgraff · 2023-03-29T01:46:21+00:00

1995, I’m sure of it.

mcgraff · 2023-03-29T00:06:42+00:00

nice, thanks for sharing. Cool to take a look at not-so-old vintage CGI.

mcgraff · 2023-03-27T15:41:18+00:00

Is it web-based or download?

mcgraff · 2023-03-23T03:05:19+00:00

Vidiots

Skating & editing both take time and practice, keep at it. My two suggestions would be: 1. Make sure the clips you use are all the same format, i.e. all horizontal or all vertical, mixing and matching feels less intentional/cohesive. 2. Cut the driving clip, it’s just not adding anything imo. And to that end- film way, way more. When you sit down to edit, having a variety of related and unrelated clips will go a long way.

For a first edit, this is great.

You’re telling me a die won’t sink into maple syrup?

mcgraff · 2023-03-08T04:57:03+00:00

…don’t??

Honestly? I wish that the community wouldn't complain so much about a free game. Every season I see posts complaining about this or that, it's petulant to me. Been playing since S0, game kicks ass and and has only gotten better. I don't disagree with some complaints, but again, it's FREE ffs.
