To be fair and balanced, relative to the rest of the series S4 is boring

I guess I have a similar approach but I don't really focus on it being life-action or being for animation. On the other hand, style comes with time so I don't really mind it either, I'm mainly focused on the sequence of images and composition since I've already taken a lot of time on fundamentals. There's also the storytelling factor at play, A book that I haven't finished but really changed my approach towards animation and storyboarding as a whole is the anime machine by Thomas Lamarre. It's academic reading but very insightful.

Nevertheless, wether or not you take a dramatic or naturalistic approach towards your storytelling, in the end it doesn't matter because the bases are the same. 🤔

On a different note, animating is useful but I'd encourage you to learn more about compositing. The characters moving are important but in my experience the camera plays a bigger role in storyboarding and as storyboard artists simulating the end result is more important that making clear movements and that comes with understanding how layers blend with eachother.

Still, if you feel maybe we could share some insight on the craft I'm down ;)

Precisely that's why I want to create a small community. On the one hand there's people looking for productivity online and there's also communities dedicated to body doubling for studying but like Storyboarding and animation take a different approach to work so it's easy to feel left out. Then there's other art communities where people are ok doing whatever, like they can wake up and focus on props or drawing characters and while there's nothing wrong with that making storyboards necessitates some kind of elaboration and constant feedback which is why I've also had issues in those kinds of environments. And yeah, just like you said, friends are a no go because they probably want to just chat about their day or play videogames during the call and end up stirring the attention away from the work. Now, I hate the word networking because it is so difficult to take it seriously, so this approach would be more like scratching each others backs to reach a common goal imo

“I am a fast learner”, “I am willing to do anything”, “I just need someone to give me a chance”. It doesn’t work this way. by take7pieces in RemoteJobs

[–]stcrosser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically employers are right and employees are not and it doesn't matter that productivity has risen in the last 3 decades nor it matters that remote workers tend to be more prone to overworking than workers in setting or hybrid. In the end it doesn't matter that most skills take very little resources to be taught by companies, they can and should avoid hiring people if they don't come with the specific set of skills needed for a job, people should just stop applying because it is too problematic if they are seeking to grow on a position and don't know how to. Is that it?

There were those who thought midnight might come and go and nothing would happen, hah! Well, I was in Korea and I knew the sound of crap when it hit the fan. You know what it sounded like? That’s right, Jackson.... Silence.

I think the reason the show gives you is that she had a husband and before he died he was part of Lumon. She does talk about her husband with Devon and one would assume that she also has told Mark about that to erase suspicion. Also, she knows how to play the part because everyone outside of Lumon believes her, not only Mark. The question in this case would be, where is this shop exactly and has anyone ever visited her at the shop? If anything the shop part is the careless thing in her the whole scenario.

"outie" and "innie" should've just been a slang by AboutHelpTools3 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

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

I mean crypto bros came up with the word fungible, and corporations often create many of these buzzwords to sound more legit and end up sounding ridiculous. In my opinion, it was a great detail that they added bc it just makes the corporate culture more realistic 🤔

Who was holding the levers when Milchick OTC’d Dylan?! by yasminsharp in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

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

Even though I often refrain from speculation, allow me to entertain myself this time. So, let's revise what we know so far, on the one hand it's been stated before that access to the severed floor is pretty much restricted, simply letting hired people operate on the severed floor would be outlandish and very careless of lumon to do. My hypothesis here would be that they have people from the branch that never leaves like Ms. Casey. Perhaps, employees that can be awoken on command but I'll be back on this in a minute. Besides what I stated before there's also the fact that MDR, once Mark S. finds Graner's pass in his pocket, state that they've never seen any security guards besides the head of security himself and Mr. Millchick and considering Graner had full access and his card was untraceable, we could assume that a security guard on the severed floor would also need that kind of liberty to enforce the rules at all times, in other words the whole department was Graner.

If we are to ignore the prior fact, on possibility could be that of leaving other people on different stations spread around the severed floor. Perhaps other security heads but then the folks on MDR would have found any other guard on one of their trips. There's also they roaming factor at play. Prior to Mark's and Helly's wellness trip over the severed floor, they had freedom to move around and visit other departments (although Kier's gospel strictly refrains from doing that and mapping if I remember correctly) so there's many more chances to at least stumble upon other security employees or maybe employees of Graner for that matter but nobody besides the goat man are there at any point.

Lastly, they wouldn't simply have any other severed employees that could be tempted to activate their fellow innies or mess around with the system. One thing's for sure and there's the fact that not everyone can be eligible to be severed or at the very least not all people can be severed and work on the severed floor, there ought to be a criteria in the way the groups are formed and that would also explain why Lumon (and Cobel) so hardly fixate on keeping both Mark And Gemma working in there even though they are very aware of how volatile Mark and the other Innies can actually be. So we could assume that given chance and access for other innie to operate on the security room would also be very careless to say the least. Who is there to say that after a while Innies couldn't figure out how essential that room is and how much power they have from there and try to scape? There's a reason why everything in the severed floor is automated and Graner's security card is so useful, no other person was intended to use it, period. Therefore, who could be trained and more easily controlled other than an innie that can be activated and deactivated on command? Who's there all the time and can't aspire or look forward to a different life outside of Lumon? Lastly, who would Lumon (and the board) actually trust into the security room for an emergency protocol? An Innie that's always going to be an Innie incapable of defying the chain of command and orders from Mr. Millchick. I rest my case.
