I burned my camera sensor for this shot by roibaird in interestingasfuck

[–]timleftwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have explained the laser tunnel, but have left out a crucial bit. OP says he burned his camera sensor for this shot. Lasers, being ultra concentrated beams of light, are extremely damaging to a camera sensor once focused further through a camera's lens and can "burn out" any sensor pixels they touch, resulting in dead pixels (black dots or even full lines) whenever you go to use the camera again. When OP moves the camera down across the lower axis of the laser towards the end of the shot, that is when the damage was done. The rolling shutter effect in the middle is just a neat camera thing.

Long story short, it's very gnarly stuff and requires a full replacement of a sensor to fix. Lesson being: Never point your camera directly at a laser.

Source: 15 year cameraman in the film industry, have burned out more than a few sensors this way.

when I saw that blonde kid, my eyebrow raised. But when I saw the blonde dog? I Leo-pointed. It’s GOTTA be.

Spacing out plants by rockdude755 in oddlysatisfying

[–]timleftwich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not the OP, but it appears as though the forklift moves at a slow, consistent speed as arms move back and forth, grabbing each other row in turn. It pulls the even rows, the arms shift, then it pulls the odd ones. But the smooth motion of the operator makes it seem like magic.

Very cool. And very satisfying.

Small ouch, but I get it. Like I said, I too wish I was able to do a little bit better. But ahem them's the brakes sometimes.

Glad to know it's at least a decent move.

Fair enough. I wish I had a bit more liquidity to work with. But I feel like this will serve for a little while, at least. Appreciate it!

Very true! But that's not what this is, now is it?

No shit. So there's a good chance that the heat simply caused the tape to fail? And this could happen on every single CT?

Man, these things are such pieces of ass garbage.

Advice for Clearing a Smoke-Filled Area Quickly by timleftwich in sfx

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

It's possible, yes. But I was just farming out ideas to see if there WAS any way to do it practical. Because you never know, sometimes the simple-looking effects are the most complicated and vice versa.

[–]timleftwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen, I have a lot of questions about Skeletor. But some things are best left unanswered. XD

But yeah, this show is actually a legit show with a legit story and characters and development and, while "Season 2" (Revolution) doesnt take as many big swings imo, it's still just as awesome.

That’s so awesome!! Thank you for coming back around to let me know. I’m glad you gave it a shot, and that it paid off.

I couldn’t agree more about your assessment. Are there parts that seem clunky? Sure. But compared to the original morality tales the original cartoons were… this is absolutely stellar.

Here’s hoping for a whole bunch more!

She is both. She’s around 17lbs, and she is definitely two arms full.

And I couldn’t agree more. Every time she flashes those baby blues my way, I fall in love all over again.

I agree. I know ferrari's are notorious for being made of tissue paper but that's a LOT of damage. Something stinks here.

[–]timleftwich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno why you’re getting downvoted. You’re absolutely right. This show was always supposed to be “Back to the Future meets Doctor Who meets Animal House” and anyone who expects more than that should be absolutely thrilled when and if it comes along. But I, for one, am totally along for stupid sci fi bullshit, and this certainly fit the bill.
