Realizing this is a strange request, can anyone tell me what the text reads at the extreme left and sides of this digital alarm clock? Left I can make out an 'M' to the left of 'PM' -- on the right, looks like 'NA // 2 // 2 // M' So. Anyone exceedingly familiar with alarm clock display text? Thanks!

SkunkDuster posted:Is this for some ARG or web puzzle or something? I was thinking that if it was your own alarm clock, you could probably tell by looking at it closely and if you were going to post a picture online, you'd have to be intentionally trying to make it difficult by setting the time to 11:11. Nothing so malicious, I assure you. I saw the photo, found it particularly striking and decided to recreate it in CG (as a motion graphic, in After Effects), animated with the same glowy look and all. Because this is what I do when I'm bored.

This past summer I was "denied leave of entry" to the UK. Had fingerprint/photo taken and all that fun stuff -- was an issue with work visas (the lack thereof, really). Anyhow. Would this be a problem were I ever to head to the UK as a visitor / to work, with an actual visa? How about applying for a visa for other countries -- would this have to be mentioned, or can it be swept under the proverbial rug?

I got a pair of glasses about 10 days ago, first pair. Generally wear them all throughout my 9-hour workday, but not at home. When I take them off, I've got these extremely-noticeable red marks where the... plastic nose-resting-things sit (my eloquence with English astounds even me, sometimes); will these ever fade, or is it indicative of the glasses sitting too.. tight? Not really sure if what I'm asking makes that much sense.

I've recently signed on with a recruiting agency. As part of the contract, there was a clause specifying that should they set me up with a client, I'm (essentially) not to go around their back and continue working with the client without having the agency as a middleman 'til ~6 months after the original contract ends. Now, I'm sure this is all standard protocol, but how would they know if I went in for a week or two here or there and got paid directly? Honour system?

I have faint memory of a quote that reads to the effect of the following: "Before pursuing me further, I give you fair warning; I am not a seem but wholly different." I'm trying to find the source, though to no avail as of yet. The closest I've found is "To begin with take warning, I am surely far different from what you suppose;" from Are You The New Person Drawn Toward Me? by Walt Whitman. It's a similar meaning, though I know mine was wordier, closer to my original quote. Can anyone provide any leads?

Tangra posted:I want to figure what fonts were used in Tron:Legacy. I can't fill you in on the specifics on those typefaces (just go to DaFont and find any technical ones, they're more or less the same), though I can give some insight into the rest of it. Tron: Legacy's title, credit and screen design was all done by Prologue. In the recent past, they most notably also did screen design for Iron Man / Iron Man II. I'm fairly certain I was the only one who noticed (  ), but the interfaces in the main Encom boardroom/on the iPad used the same fonts (Looks like FF Din for most of it, but I may be mistaken) and many of the same graphical elements as were used on the Iron Man II displays -- I could tell right away they it was done by the same company. This bothers me.* Though Prologue has been doing quite a bit of screen/hud display (&c), Prime Focus is another contender in the field. Namely: Avatar. These studios do a hybrid of motion graphics** and visual effects**, meaning they're able to take on a wide array of work (commercial, film, etc). Other studios that worked on this film, with what I know of the studios that worked on it / who did what. May be incomplete.
Lest I keep going on, if you've got any further questions / wondering about anything else to do with screen/interface design, toss me a PM. *This blatant laziness is offending. Even if it's done well. Travakian fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Jan 1, 2011 |

Is it possible to wash waxed cotton canvas? Shoulder bag fell onto an (unknowingly) freshly oiled wooden floor and was left there for a few days while I was out of town -- now the bag looks as if it's damp in places (darker), and the texture's a bit off. Looks like an oil/grease stain, really. Is there hope to clean this without destroying the material, or even some way to lessen the wet/dirty look it's acquired? If it's as simple as 'hand wash cold with laundry detergent,' I'll feel awful silly but figured I'd get some input before potentially damaging further. Thanks!

Traced out a bunch of different city skylines (this is Toronto), shimmied around buildings to fit a nice little circle/sphere but retaining identifiable shapes (so it's no longer the real skyline as the buildings are all mixed around, but hopefully you can still pick 'em out of a police lineup. For the project version, there's a white outline around the circle and the bottom part is solid white water that's animated sloshing about. For the forums, made the white border and water / front building transparent (and still; couldn't get the animation small enough file size to fit limits). Thanks for the kind words! Also: moving to New Zealand is always a good idea.

Are there any resources out there to help? I know nothing about making lesson plans, tips for guiding through different subjects, etc. (Or, is there a subforum/megathread I couldn't find?) For what it's worth, the students will be all aged 20-30; will be teaching animation-relevant things.

Dead Man Posting posted:Here's what I want to do: Make a .gif avatar based off my current one, but with animating "magic" effects. After Effects. What you want to do is stabilize the footage using the character's face, then crop around it. And just trim the in/out for when the guy's out of frame. This is easy. Turning it into a .gif small enough to meet file size requirements while preserving quality? This is not easy. Edit: H'okay. I've cropped the footage and stabilized it, so you're left with a .mov of the guy's head with all the mayhem going on in the background. I've given two versions-- one that loops and one that doesn't. You'll need to find somebody else able/willing to convert it into a .gif that fulfill SA's requirements, or do it yourself.

OrangeGuy posted:I got a response back, he said: Yes, it's a Rebel, and yes it shoots HD. Think of it as a 'higher-end' Rebel (compared to the idea of the Rebel series being consumer/home-use devices)... but if you're looking into investing in a DSLR for video use, consider at the Canon T3i (also called 600D); it's got a few features that beat out the t2i as far as video-capturing goes. For editing, Premiere Pro is higher-end but should definitely work for you. The Mac equivalent would be Final Cut Pro, though the latest version (Final Cut Pro X) is terribly controversial and made things much... 'simpler' (that is, removed/altered a slew of professional-level tools)-- but as mentioned earlier, it should do you just fine. Or find a copy of Final Cut Pro 7.

If the work one / any of your accounts aren't hosted on gmail, make sure you send using it's own server. This'll fully mask that the email is going through another account in the first place. 3) Under your personal account, Go into Settings > Filters and create a filter for IF (from:myworkgmail@gmail) THEN (label:"Work") or something similar. Yeah, you'll still have to deal with the occasional email not being tagged, but at least they'll all be in your primary.
