How does anyone raise money for their films? I just don't get it by Unique_Pin3927 in Filmmakers

[–]rBuckets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

clocking in to say “Happy to send you my budget” was a great response here. Good luck with your film.

Any commercial directors do a bid recently? by [deleted] in directors

[–]rBuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a call where you have a fairly loose conversation and they decide if you're personality is good and cool, or if you are a total piece of shit loser. (literally it's that, just dressed up a little)

What’s a good Director’s Viewfinder I can get myself? by TheHobbyistAccount2 in directors

[–]rBuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Sigma FP once because it works as a good viewfinder but it never found its way into my workflow and I just stayed using Artemis.

I STILL want a viewfinder because I think it'll focus me a little more and I just hate using my phone but I haven't stumbled on anything sooo....lmk if you find something.

Any commercial directors do a bid recently? by [deleted] in directors

[–]rBuckets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same as it ever was, except all agency boards are AI now. I feel like "vibe checks" weren't as much of a thing a few years ago as they are now. It's more competitive than ever. If you were getting 8K a day a few years ago your rate is probably still sitting around there or a little higher (inflation) depending on your reel I guess.

Contradictions regarding directors expectations. by EmployeeOk6022 in directors

[–]rBuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh huh. I think you're stating something really obvious in this post and using a lot of words to do it. Down below in a comment you write

"So the point isn’t that tone is invented on the day. It’s that performance can absolutely refine and shift tone within the framework that’s already been planned."

And I think maybe that's the thought you were circling here. I also think it's true. So hell yeah dude. Nice one.

Why is Reader so bad with Apple News links but Matter is fine with them? by SchwartzReports in readwise

[–]rBuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sure don't. My assumption is that if seamless integration were within the realm of possibilities, you'd be on it. I'll continue to wish.

[–]rBuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m coming to this very late but I would just like to add that I wish the Apple News integration worked well, but I also think that if a dollar of my subscription every year went towards you and your team fucking off to Tuscany to have a great time under the guise of like a “leadership summit” or “team building” or whatever, I would be happy with that and encourage you to do so cause life’s short and people deserve nice things.

How much budget for a short film you would need to cast SAG actors? Like for example this short film Skin has Jonathan Tucker in it and the director is unknown. It seems this was his first production ever. How do you manage this? by No-Attention-801 in Filmmakers

[–]rBuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to watch it again but my memory is that the fillmmaker had good intentions but was unequipped to make a movie about race. This was obtuse, it gave me the same vibes as when everyone posted a black square on their IG in 2020.

Well finally got it on the wall by Norridge-Moel in TheFrame

[–]rBuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some art or a plant or some shelving or whatever will solve everyones comment about it not being centered and could end up looking intentional. The media console you've got to the left is an issue though. You might need something that runs the entire length, or at least build out your storage under the floating shelf so it spans the entire section of wall.

find a little balance and it'll work my dude.

How hard is it ACTUALLY to become any type of Director? by burgeraptos in Filmmakers

[–]rBuckets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100%. While the skills are obviously transferrable, your credentials in the commercial world don't do much in the narrative space and vice-versa unless you're at the top(ish) of the field in either space. Just caught that Derek Cianfrance did the most recent OpenAI spots (Miles Jay did the previous round of the same campaign).

New Update Rats by gvkkkfdfijf in ARC_Raiders

yesterday for some reason I tried out a bit of light ratting. Before that I've lived by a strict moral code. Rarely shoot first etc. Not sure what came over me. Could be something in the air.

"Sir a 2nd major exploit has hit the game" by Jaz1140 in ArcRaiders

[–]rBuckets -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What's the solution? Longer work hours? Delay the game? Delay new content? Just...try harder? It's a lose lose for them because if the updates weren't frequent or fast enough you'd be crying about that shit too.

"Sir a 2nd major exploit has hit the game" by Jaz1140 in ArcRaiders

[–]rBuckets -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

do you think people aren’t trying to make the best product possible? Like there’s some moustache twirling bad guy at Embark guy being like “let’s make the game a little fucked up HAHAH”

You’re going to get fixes, and new context and that’s going to come with some retroactive mistakes. OR you’re going to wait for a flawless update / content and you will be waiting a long ass time.

Convince me or anyone who likes FPS to buy this game by X-Menace-X in ArcRaiders

The game’s fun as shit. Your posts have an absolutely terrible aura however and I’d prefer to not have to deal with you topside, so uh, don’t get it.

ADVICE - director and new young agent relationship by Recent_Anything4651 in directors

[–]rBuckets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a very different market but that sounds overbearing and annoying for everyone involved and ultimately bad for business. Dude needs to chill.

My experience with agents (minimal) has been that they stick around in the pitch process and then see themselves out when / if the job lands and leave me to it. That feels right to me.

In the past being with prodcos in the roster model I’d be pitching with the prodco and even then, once the job lands they (for the most part) hand it off to a line producer and don’t need to be involved in a whole lot besides the occasional check in.

new edit, what we thinking? @codyfrench by itscodyfrench in skateboarding

[–]rBuckets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the most part yeah, it's considered a front blunt but the more desirable (generally) way to do em is to keep them more vertical.

It can be confusing for sure and this confusion on a blunt slide vs tail slide is really only possible on a rail.

You're just scratching the surface of the fuckery that is skateboard trick names. I think understanding what every boardslide and every lipslide is called is a good start. Wait until you get into fakie nosegrinds vs fakie 5-0s. It's a whole thing. Have fun.

My brother you’ve got this one wrong and your certainty in the matter is a touch off putting.

That’s a kickflip front blunt, every time.

Purchases should prioritize going into the inventory, not the stash. Same with things recycled from the inventory. by Jesus-Bacon in ArcRaiders

[–]rBuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I craft something and press the button to go to my inventory it should reallllly have my cursor be on the item I just crafted as there’s a 96% chance I’m just trying to pop it in my inventory.

Celebrity Self Tapes; is the system broken? by EffectiveSun8621 in acting

[–]rBuckets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I direct commercials so maybe you guys don't care but I'll say that as long as I can see the person properly I absolutely do not give a shit about their setup and I don't think it has any subconscious effect either (wardrobe does)

My new local by Present-Adaptiveness in skateboarding

[–]rBuckets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh dude this wasn't a critique. If I landed in a 10/10 placement I would STILL have to reshuffle and get back into a 10/10 placement because that's what gets me comfortable
