Captain Disillusion

NEW VIDEO! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDLx...

I like how in the last ep of Slow Horses, a chopper lands by a secluded beach house, unleashing armed MI6 guys to secure it and inside, an old man with an exploded kneecap watches them approach a while, through a glass wall, then goes "I should go," and limps out of the room and escapes (off screen)

even abstracted into hypothetical maths this doesn't make any sense. picking the lesser evil still makes things more evil, just by a lesser amount

Used to have to shove these giant 5” discs into a machine to watch what I paid for in broadcast quality, but now I can just press a button to conveniently watch it in random quality and sometimes it’s taken away while I continue paying indefinitely... am I doing this right?

ME: Resolve, do not render at max resolution. I command you, render at this specific resolution that I have set in the resolution dropdown. RESOLVE: Sure thing, rendering at the resolution set in the dropdown, which I have reset back to max resolution for you, you're welcome.

It’s simple: rotate the object, then it doesn’t work, so rotate the mesh, then go “dammit” and rotate the object back and rotate the mesh on a different axis than the one that made sense. Works every time.

To play John Nash in ‘A Beautiful Mind’ (2001), Russell Crowe actually went under the knife to make his brain extremely physically beautiful. The brain later participated in cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model but was eliminated early.

POV: you're about to record 45 dialogue corrections, color-coded by which mic to use to match the original. You know 95% of viewers won't care about the wording or spot edits if you just use 1 mic. The other 5% will spot and call out every edit no matter what lengths you go to to make them seamless.

This animated short is so dang cute and I wasn’t crying, it was just something in my eye.

My Dinner With Andre For Tax Purposes

Worst keyframe system of any app. (So bad, it's not even the way keyframes work in other parts of THIS app.)

lol, that post by that guy is like “Have you heard? Everybody who’s anybody is back on X! I was skeptical, but it’s actually great again for the following list of very normal reasons. In conclusion, everyone’s there already so please please please everyone come back…on there. Onto the platform X.”

Did You Know: the entirety of KaBLam! is on Archive - archive.org/details/kabl... It's really silly and inventive, and fun to show to current-time little human kids and stuff, imo.

I had to look it up, but it was a moment this soviet cartoon where out of nowhere this creepy clawed hand reached from a tree hollow for the kid. It messed me UP.

How Good is Soviet Science? : 1417s

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

How did Prime know I want to see the skippable recap of the episode it just played and auto-continued from?

For boring reasons my back bumper used to have a tiny, beat-up sticker that just said "film." One time a car followed us for many blocks, all the way home. It was an older guy and he wanted to pitch me his screenplay. We don't live in LA. He didn't know who I am at all. It was just the sticker.

Ford-Sponsored Schindler's List Intermission NBC/WKYC 3 1997-02-23 : 74s

- Mr. Smith, did you go to a corn contest in 2024? - I... went to a... KoЯn concert. In the '90s.

I told him not to spend his life savings on a “flying car” but does he listen?

KURSGESAGT VOICE: Now, we’re just speculating here and there’s no real way to project this far into the future, but imagine yourself personally becoming a technological ultra super god with the power to tame every atom of the universe into a state of perpetually orgasmic hyper-abundance…

Update: it wasn't too bad! In most shots, the tiny shape change didn't make a difference and any native AE masks stretched with the footage. There was just one part where I had to rebuild a patchwork of photoshop stills over again, but it got refined a li'l in the process. Back on track.

Swapping a video (that you've been zooming into, rotoscoping and animating various pixel-peeping graphics around in hundreds of shots) for a higher quality version you just found - $0 Realizing the version you'd been working with was actually squashed vertically by 4 pixels - priceless

I was finally able to track down an actual 3-D version of “AL’S BRAIN IN 3-D”… so if you have a VR headset, 3-D TV, or even cheap 3-D glasses, you can now watch this in the way it was originally intended! youtu.be/LKgKQK7tKIU

Every sound design/music/mixing tutorial: “I’m using Pro-Q for this, but you can use the native equalizer or whatever plugin you want, it really doesn’t make a difference. But I’m using Pro-Q.”

This would also be awesome as a physical Lunar Lander game.

Better start practicing just in case.

Never seen this woman out of character

Nooo! Please, I’m not ready! I thought I had more time! 😭
