On one hand gently caress that guy for (as well as many many other reasons) trying to drum up sympathy by faking injury. On the other hand there is no doubt in my mind that guy is a breath away from a heart attack.

Was there ever a thread for Homeland? I'm guessing there was but I'm not gonna necropost. I rolled my eyes right out of watching that poo poo at Season 3, my girlfriend is running through it now and I forgot how bad it was. The characters are great but everything else is loving dumb. Yup just parking an SUV on the sidewalk outside the CIA while half the agency is 50 yards away. I was sick for about a week this month and binged watched a lot of poo poo I needed to catch up on, and this show is towards the bottom. Can't believe it's got another season coming.

It's 2 or 3 episodes into the current season, isn't that the last? I'm doing the previous one at the moment, it's still dumb but watching their Alex Jones stand in be such a loser is quite fun.

It looked gorgeous, but those were pre-rendered scenes. its cool they integrated it with real time CGI rendering tech so you can go beyond color tweaking and start custom placing background geometry while at the same time telling your talent to reposition to show it off a bit more, or adding some fake plants and stones to hide the seam line of the screen to the floor

Although at first I thought the point was so that your actors could see the scene they're in. The problem is if its actually recorded in-camera, it has to be perspective correct, so as the camera moves everything shifts and blurs from the point of view of anybody actually in the scene, which I imagine would be even more bizarre than green screens. But if you wanted to do it the way I was thinking, you'd have to have a way to easily remove the backgrounds while not having a simple uniform chroma key. Could probably pull it off using motion detection to remove the background but IDK.

Finally caught up on Avenue 5, and I love that the show's breather episode is about the cast running out of oxygen. The way they did the rhythm gag, where everyone started having their own clockwork reactions to beeping noise (laughing, talking to it, jumping, anticipating it) and it all slowly built up... It's hitting that perfect space between being funny and anxiety inducing. Hilarious that the moment the cast decide they need to neutralise Judd is the exact same moment that Matt starts to cosy up to him. (They're basically doing his job for him.) Partly because being his best friend/lickspittle is the safest place to be, but also because it makes it easier to gently caress with people (which he straight up admits he likes doing, so clearly the sleep deprivation was getting to him too). Honestly, it's becoming a game of who cracks first. My money is on Billie or Iris, but I'm guessing that poor comedian isn't long for this trip either.

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah. How it works is the scene has a generic sort of background thats always there, but the "hero" section is always locked to the cameras perspective and travels around the set as the camera moves, so when you're out of the cameras sight line you can see this very obvious box moving around the screens, which you never see in-camera because that box goes just beyond the lens's framing. I wouldnt be surprised to find out the generic section was pre-rendered or WAY LESS fidelity real-time, and the box is where they focus the most processing power. You can see an example of it here at 34:20 when they move the camera, but the shiny bike is still reflecting all the rocks and stones from the non-active section https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyYXLEz0k1Y&t=2060s And they also use the live background to shoot greenscreen passes while keeping reflections from the LCD background which is fuckin bananas to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjb-AqMD-a4&t=608s bring back old gbs fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Feb 25, 2020 |

Ooh, I like the idea of using it in order to generate reflections and give the actor the scene, and having the green square move with the camera and then doing things in post. That'd be less discombobulating I think.

That'd be less discombobulating I think. Yeah, they use different combinations depending on what they need. If the background is far away, they will do completely in camera because it doesn't need a ton of fidelity, but if there's something like a creature charging at the camera that requires more animation and detail, they can do the green square to matte out that section for replacement later while keeping the rest of the ambient lighting in place so that there's accurate reflections and lighting. The switching seamlessly between the two modes is what's crazy efficient about this process. So, they could shoot someone head on with their background to get a reaction shot then have them turn around, flip the environment around to retain correct lighting, and then do the green screen square to insert what the thing is they are reacting to. Doing that in a traditional way would require a ton more setup and fine tuning. They also mention that the use of real reflections allows them to use more 'real' props. For example, a lot of things like swords are partially CG since they would reflect the green environment and need to be touched up later. But with accurate reflections, they can use highly reflective real props and have everything captured in camera. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Feb 26, 2020 |

But only rich people get this treatment I was arrested for DUI about 10 years ago. I wasn't drunk and the charge was completely dropped eventually. But I was in County for almost 72 hours with no phone call and they even forgot to feed me or send me to my arraignment. The entire time I was telling them that I had bad Anxiety Disorder and didn't have my medication on me, could they please send me to Medical or call my doctor to confirm or just give me a drat Xanax or anything, and they didn't. So I've got exactly zero sympathy here

I'm saying wanting less for a "criminal A" is exactly why so many people are ok with it. He should be able to fake whatever poo poo he can, actual medical professionals (not corrections related) should evaluate him, and we should all accept that that's what should be normal. Random jackasses on the internet saying it's all fake shouldn't hold any more weight just because we know he's a human cesspool that I'd prefer is just drowned in the middle of Hollywood.

Well yeah, it's not that I want less for him, I want everyone in prison to be treated well Taking away someone's freedom and segregating them from society should be the punishment. Violence, rape and harassment are unnecessary on top of that. Prisons shouldn't be torture chambers, and if they are, all prisoners should be allowed to request a swift and painless death rather than a prison sentence.

I'm really pleasantly surprised with Hunters. Sometimes it hits some really effective emotional beats that I wouldnt expect from the kind of grindhouse tone it sometimes goes for. The characters genuinely have some interesting qualities, and Mindy and Murray really got me good.

I've been binging Letterkenny over the last month and love this show, but season 4 episode 6 is basically just one sequence of rhymes, puns, or dumb names one right after another. Please don't tell me this is what I have to expect going forward? E- like, I know I just described a bunch of the humor of the show, but not basically 15 minutes straight worth. e2- Back on track the next episode. "Like in 300?" "That was Greece, this is Romans" "LIKE IN 300, BUDDY!" "Well, I guess, since there's no frame of reference, I guess the comparison will do..." "THIS! IS! SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

I binged all of Letterkenny last week and overall I loved it. Season 5 onward feel very different though. The show looked a hell of a lot nicer, but the writing felt way different. Season 5 was still really loving funny even with the changes but the first half or so of season 6 was pretty bad in my opinion. It got better toward the end though and seasons 7 & 8 were back to being really good. Maybe not as good as seasons 1-5, but that could have just been fatigue from watching it all so quickly.
