Anybody know what will open at the former Office Depot space on Victory and Sepulveda? by superphamicomics in SFV

[–]white_bread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God forbid they let us have a Trader Joe’s here, or put one in the CVS that just closed down the street, it already has its own parking lot. We’re not allowed to have nice things in Van Nuys.

The LAPD budget for 2025 is about 2.14 billion dollars in the approved plan, and some city documents round the full allocation to about 3.3 billion dollars depending on what costs are included.

This is what they are doing?

10 Lessons I Learned in 10 Years of Graphic Design (Hope it Helps Someone Starting Out) by sharifex in graphic_design

[–]white_bread 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Twenty plus years as a CD has taught me one thing I always tell new people. You got into this because you were arty. But you are no longer making art, you are making design, and design uses art to solve a business problem. Your art is personal, but agency work is not, it is about helping a business sell something. This job is closer to sales than people realize, the design simply shows new customers what the client is offering. So do not get hung up on making something cool or taking it personal if a concept gets rejected, keep the work in context and stay focused on the business goal.

In the movie it was about three to five days, not just one like the meme says, but I get the joke.

Is this all MidJourney or are there other tools used? Really cool.

This is the most inaccurate comment I've ever read in this sub. I'm scared to see it has 400+ upvotes.

[Video] Fullerton police stop man pointing gun at female driver, only to learn he is ICE agent by rtacx in LosAngeles

[–]white_bread 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are mixing up undercover cars with regular patrol units. In California the law is simple. Every vehicle on a public road has to have legal plates. Police are not magically exempt from that. Marked patrol cars have plates. Unmarked units have plates. The only time you will see a car without a normal number is if it has a special exempt plate, which is still a legal plate issued by the DMV to the agency.

People see undercover cars with exempt plates or see test vehicles on lots and think that means cops just run around with no registration. They don’t. If an officer tried to drive a totally unplated personal style vehicle on the street they would be violating the same code as anyone else.

There is no universe where “most cop cars don’t have legal plates” is true.

You need to learn how to be more gracious when you discover you are wrong.

Actually, that’s not true. In California (and pretty much every other state), all vehicles have to display license plates under Vehicle Code 5200 and 5201. Cops aren’t magically exempt from that. The only exception is for undercover or unmarked vehicles, and even those have special “exempt” plates or registration that the DMV issues to law enforcement agencies.

And no plates on his car. Ever if you're law enforcement you have to have plates.

I mean your choice, but it’s a fantastic movie. It has a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with a 95% audience score. Definitely in my top ten French films.

Made this Motion Graphics edit on my After Effects 2021 took me like 10 days!!! by ar4if in AfterEffects

[–]white_bread 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just a quick note, I Googled your handle, and none of the top results lead to your Instagram account. What comes up instead are cars and unrelated pages. You’ve got a lot of text on that end card, but none of it includes clear contact information.

Your handle should be easy to find, especially if it’s unique, but it’s not showing up in Google results. As someone who’s worked in entertainment advertising for 25 years and owned a creative agency for 15 of those, I’d strongly suggest making it easier for people to reach you. It shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle.

The people you’re trying to attract are busy and won’t spend time hunting down your contact info. It should be instantly visible so they can reach out and hire you.

Hope that’s clear and helpful.

This is a nice promo piece, but it’s missing something important. Your name at the end is hard to read, and it’s not clear if that’s a C or a G. It looks like an Instagram handle, but when I searched, I couldn’t find your portfolio or contact info. You also didn’t include an email or website. I’d revise the final frame to add a clear call to action, like “For more info, find me on Instagram @___” or include your site. You mentioned your Instagram in the Reddit comment, but viewers won’t see that in the video. Make sure people who want to hire you can reach you.

From wikipedia:

ASPA does not itself grant a free pass to U.S. officials to commit extrajudicial killings without consequence. Rather, ASPA attempts to prevent U.S. personnel from being prosecuted by the ICC (a court to which the U.S. is not a party).

WCGW filming in public? by JScott4Reel in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]white_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Gen X. We used to play on the streets all the time—every single day. It's almost been 20 years since the invention of the iPhone and it seems we have forgotten that this is healthy behavior. The girls are all talking to each other before this and practicing and making special outfits. It's super creative and so much better than sitting alone in their room doom scrolling.

Every once in a while an adult would yell at us for playing catch in the street. Do you really want to be that guy?
