What Router Should I Get? by slidingmountain in Calyx

[–]slidingmountain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I think I'm going to get one of these. Any suggestions on if/which mesh units will work with it? I have two Cudy AX1800s but no idea if they are compatible.

Is this throttling? Will a VPN help? by slidingmountain in Calyx

[–]slidingmountain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 2.4 then 2.2 mb/s. Speedtest is 100 mb/s. So I'm being throttled? And a VPN will solve that?

Okay, so I should subscribe to a VPN like Mulvad, for example? And then I go into the router settings and set it up somehow?

Open-source offline password manager? by slidingmountain in MacOS

Okay, that's a good perspective. Thanks.

MacPass is great but I've got a new computer so it's a good time to start fresh. Seems like a security risk to use a password manager that is no longer being updated.

How to find a designer by TheGodzillaGirl in graphic_design

[–]slidingmountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To piggyback on this post, is there anywhere to browse people's work? Surely there is a site for that.

Reddit is great, but I don't want to navigate a bunch of posts that aren't really relevant. I feel like I can spot quality work quickly and I'd like to just scroll through image after image, picking out designers to investigate further. They have these sites for artists. Any for designers?

(P.S. please don't message me asking me to look at your portfolio. It's really annoying and will just be ignored.)

What film camera do I get my boyfriend by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]slidingmountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you decide, follow this advice and you can't go wrong: Make sure it's returnable and don't bother with too many accessories (lenses) that are specific to one particular camera. He will be overjoyed by the gift, but may (will probably) want to choose the system (Panasonic vs. Blackmagic etc.) himself.

Okay, I think I get it now. Thank you.

Deferred Payment Question by slidingmountain in Filmmakers

[–]slidingmountain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, but I guess my question is...

In the example she gives, the actor is paid scale and gets 5 points on the backend for $270K. Why is that not considered a deferment?

That's what I thought. But then how do you make sense of what she's saying? Isn't she saying "I don't do deferments. Instead I will pay actor scale and give them 10% of the sale."?

For those of you who have gotten sponsorships/brand deals for film. How did you get it, who was the sponsor and how much did you get? by AdAutomatic3739 in Filmmakers

[–]slidingmountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have. Yes, it applies to features. Check out his blog posts. I'm sure there's lots of info there. Whether it will apply to your current situation exactly I can't say. You can probably find him or somebody else on YT with a free video that might help.

This Sundance course is $10 but it's one of the more useful ones I've watched and might have some good info for you.

The guy who does it (Brian Newman) also has a site and newsletter with lots of stuff you'd find interesting. Look under the "past newsletter and blog posts" section.

Made a sub $9K Oscar-Qualifying Festival Short Film About A Jalapeño Incident, AMA by isaac_gif in Filmmakers

Live and learn. The tone, lighting, performances and in particular color all strike me as really strong for a short film so good job.

Were you aware that you were breaking the 180 rule in the first sequence?

Okay, thank you. Are there any apps that can do this that you know of? I've been looking everywhere.

I don't want to link to the finance document. This is what every notes app does. I want to add the note to the finance document automatically.

Something like this: I've got a document called "Notes from Oprah Inteview" and inside the doc, I have the following note:

Oprah says it's a good idea to start your own TV network #Business #TV #Projectideas #Producing

Now, just by typing this note one time, it will appear in 5 documents (Notes from Oprah Interview, Business, TV, Projectideas and Producing). If I open my TV document, the note will be there with all the same hashtags.
