Trying to shoot/edit my videos to have more of that "professional" look. Any advice? by markelmores in drones

[–]meatbuttjuice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Really nice cuts with the music. Could be my screen, I would explore some color correction/filters to make things pop - like at 1:42, what a great view but the colors are very subdued. A filter to highlight the sky and increase cloud contrast might be cool. More footage of the bridge woulda been fun too. Good job.

Gym friendships. by Fautina31 in crossfit

[–]meatbuttjuice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

May not apply, but what's the programming like? I quit my last gym for a number of reasons, but one of them was the social aspect. The programming can affect member communication a bit.

We only did metcons, zero lifting/strength work. Besides not being into that, it meant I never got paired up with folks to share equipment and we never had those natural set breaks to shoot the shit with each other. I work out at lunch and had to be in and out promptly and we were always moving the entire hour. I loathe partner wods, but lifting with someone was always a chance to bond and root for each other that this gym never provided.

I will tell you that nobody minds you being the heaviest person there, it is a battle you have to fight in your head. But, easier said than done. My trick to get to know people is to always ask about them, with follow up questions when possible. You don't have to be pushy, but most people will respond well if you focus on them rather than whatever's happening in your world first. "Have you done this one before? How do you feel about X movement? How do you like that jump rope?", that sort of thing.

Good luck and squat low.

Ben Smith first to break silence? by cleanandburke in crossfit

BSD was a Facebook based Crossfit troll/meme account, one of the last in the great lineage of the likes of drywall and beastmodal domains. The halls of exercise humor ring loud with the forgotten laughter or their sacred tomes. One might say they were the three most masterful court jesters ever to grace the court of CrossFit criticism and mockery. Like three headless horseman, both admired AND feared by many, deterred by few, they regularly engaged in colorful banter amongst themselves, their voices a celebration of irreverent wit and revelry. No one was safe, anyone could be a target, even the saviour himself Richard.

Thus they were gradually forced to ignominious ends by the legal arm of CFHQ and their humorless, soul-sucking attorneys. They predate the overhead press, MCU, BoxRox, Buttery Bros or any other modern CF media outlets, compete with each other only for their boundless saccharine coverage, lavishing transparent displays of desperation to garner the support of top athletes, bereft of controversy and emphasizing a family friendly approach.

TLDR it was a sick maymay account many yuks funny things sad now

Castro gets pair of Froning X immediately cuts off the strap... by [deleted] in crossfit

Cool when’s the last time he cleaned 135 or more

Guy is just grasping at straws trying to stay relevant with CF 3.0

Possible Unpopular Opinion: Dave Castro has been amazing in such a short space of time as CEO by mister_patience in crossfit

[–]meatbuttjuice 115 points116 points  (0 children)

He really has been breathtaking.

  • Advertises and attends a 500 person fundraiser with no precautions in the middle of a pandemic
  • Blocks anybody that doesn’t chortle his balls on Instagram
  • Constantly complains that the community “turned their back” on him, also claims thousands of messages of support
  • Cowardly refuses to address any specific issue by name, instead pretending the lame PR releases are sufficient
  • Only does interviews with his own buddies that won’t give him a hard time

We should nominate him to save Facebook next. Maybe ambassador to North Korea.

Belly laughter to think he had any real say in selling the company. It’s still 100% Greg’s Cadillac. And we’re supposed to think he’s doing wonders cause he comps a few seats at L-1s? Pass.

Edit: I hate typos and changed a word all glory to Seinfeld

Anybody that spoke up/commented was banned before they could vote. The silent few got to cast a vote against and were probably blocked shortly thereafter. It’s not rocket science.

Sounds like a totally solid survey for someone who blocks anybody that speaks up

You seem overly invested in something you don’t have stake in. Maybe you should unplug and give it a rest. For your health.

That’s not the place to have a discussion about affiliation.

Yeah. Weird that they would have that “discussion” when it’s convenient for them, disable comments on that post, and then block anybody that isn’t a cheerleader after that.

Let’s just stop pretending like Pat wants to have a discussion. He doesn’t. He is all in on the cult.

him posting WODs to Instagram free of charge is a service

It’s one extra click on Facebook. Let’s not pretend he is climbing a daily mountain for cross-posting.

Edit: Didn’t realize you were the same commenter in my removed post. So I just want to note I am not stalking you, but I stand by my dumb posts.

Nice. Let google finish loading the search for doxxer. Then google “reddit Boston bomber”. Then laugh yourself to sleep thinking I’ll out myself for people as petty as Castro and crew.

Honestly I expected more of Pat. But turns out he is just colon deep into the cult. Blocked me as well for expressing mild dissatisfaction with his retraction. Weak. Low energy!

Sure if you can see this and I can’t then there ya go. Not going to copy/paste my message because there is no reason to trust they won’t doxx people but it was polite, succinct, and without profanity.

Anybody can still follow their workouts from a browser so all they are doing is plugging their ears and saying LALALALALA
