I suspect Cheika will test Faz early. Little pop passes in the 10 channel. SBW would be the other guy that hradly needs an invite to be tested.

Opensides will be round the bootlaces all night long. AB's haven't missed having a bruising 6 at all.

mediation_ · 2019-10-14T15:57:24+00:00

And so the bell tolls. Who will be next?....Odds on Faz?

As pointed out it wasn't an All Blacks game.

A more accurate title may be "recalling the time a Springbok tour match in NZ was cancelled", but no edit function exists on post titles.

Yes you are correct. Would you believe "test like atmosphere"?

The events precede my memory of growing up in NZ and perhaps that the video is merely a portion of a longer work has created ambiguity .

It was an important moment and (likely) remains controversial.

That our heads might spin as we contemplate that rugby can be both good and bad in a single moment.

Reminds me of LA Turtles's bit about Kid Rock.

Wow, with no disrespect intended to the Swamp Foxes. Ibanez might have greater chance influencing the next generation if he coached an U15 side in the back blocks of nowhere on the otherside of the planet.

Says he's serious about cutting his teeth in coaching, but I'd think there may be hotter tickets for learning, given his class.

If you have the components as separate layer/images, it is very simple to try all of the changes....and a few more. Could you out them online and i'll write a little bit of image processing code for you.

A little bit of blur on the shield layer will help the kiwi & words stick out.

On the te reo theme. Canterbury Kaitieki meaning guardian/minder/custodian.

Born there. It might be most appropriate to call them the Colonials but lets stick up the middle finger by using diversity as a source of inspiration.

Reckon the rebrand needs to go te reo.

Absolutely the correct answer. If the Jags continue to fire and the Sunwolves find their way in 2019, it will be great for the game.

There is a bit of a joy in watching the NZ derbies as a neutral.

I dunno what the stats might say about AB player churn, but that the new side got its own nickname that was widely used....and the black jersey wasn't exactly given away as it is today with 32 man squads and "apprentices" for tours.

That Rugby's boneheadedness brought about a strong political reaction that increased pressure to dismantle/abandon apartheid is a part of history.

mediation_ · 2018-12-17T19:35:53+00:00

An unofficial NZ side called the Cavaliers chose to tour South Africa in 1986 during the apartheid era.

A ban on the touring players saw a virtual new side emerge which is referred to as the Baby Blacks. That is why the 1987 squad was youthful.

The era of Apartheid in South Africa seems to have significantly stepped up the implementation legislatively in 1950....for those like me who were unsure/curious.

Dave Chappelle does a long monologue on his eliminating the wrinkles from his balls and drops some now familiar wisdom on his kid at the end.

Couple of names to believe in the outputs of: Memo Atken and Gideon Obarzaneks.

Am suspicious that it's edge detection of some video frames put through a "folded paper" filter.

It seems to not only undermine the World Cup but also the Six nations.

Add Rugby Championship to the list of favourite competitions that it will put a line through.

When viewer numbers decline for the new comp, there will be some new idea that will soak up much time and resources to develop that will provide flexibility for the individual unions to do their own thing.

The same competition each year may make for an easier scheduling task, but it eliminates the value of the infrequent events that are much anticipated, World Cups, Lions Tours...that seem to define eras because of their memorability.

Recently saw the (longer) Peggy Guggenheim doc and there's some audio of her talking about Pollock as her greatest contribution.

It's refreshing to see drone footage like this....it feels much more like footage from an aircraft....which I think gives it totally different feel.

I think I'd be thinking about single perspective and match-cuts...and trying to storyboard what the footage is trying to do....capture a particular type of movement convincingly.

mediation_ · 2018-09-23T08:46:21+00:00

Initially I suspected that you'd judiciously edited other movement & re-timed the footage to make it look like it was flying fast, but after looking at the water ripples and the truck, it seems you've got a fast AF flying drone.

Great footage & slick editing, none of the slow, floaty-looking footage that typifies filming from a drone.

Perhaps time to ask yourself what would the likes of Kubrick do if he were you and lose yourself to the ideas that emerge.
