Foley's first book mentioned how Val would go on and on about being Canadian and wanting to move to the British West Indies as a tax shelter.

MrBling posted:Does Gabe usually have twitter fights with random people? I just noticed that MRP linked to this https://twitter.com/BookItGabe/status/481658787887992834 and it just seems really stupid and petty. Yeah. I was having a conversation with a friend on twitter a few years back about our mutual disappointment of the dwindling amount of DG natives showing up on DGUSA shows. We weren't using hashtags or his username, so he must have had a column in Tweet Deck searching for Dragon Gate terms because he interjected and got into it with me about how I wasn't properly supporting his product and I should be grateful to have Jon Davis face Johnny Gargano in a No Ropes match. He has incredibly thin skin. NotQuiteQuentin fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Jun 28, 2014 |

oatgan posted:i guess you haven't watched the WWE Archives show because yes it's a guy with a camera in a decently lit warehouse that they clearly make on the cheap It's also five minutes long & pretty clearly done on the cheap and quickly in comparison to how WWE Network's look/workflow.

They have a lot of easy overhead/spot lights with the Warehouse and they stick with medium and two shots so they don't need to key Ben Brown or Joey Styles. With a sit down interview for anything like Countdown you are talking coverage, spot, key and accent lights which would require a light designer and at least several tech/grips. You can't use the same light designs for every person due to skin tone/what mood you're trying to set and what else you're wanting to have on screen. You're talking a good hour or so out of a shoot day for set up, and then constant readjustments which just tack on time.

TheJoker138 posted:Just did. They've definitely got key lights behind the camera, and possibly overhead stuff hidden out of frames to get it lit as evenly as it is. They're also using edge lights because the people and objects stand out from the background. Either that or they have switched out all the bulbs in the warehouse with super bright film lights, possibly something like the LEDs found in an eco-punch. I'm guessing an eco-punch because the kind of bulbs you'd have to replace the overheads with would be stupidly expensive given the short time period/little reward.

And here's another thing: We're only talking lighting. Even with the advanced workflow WWE has it's going to take forever to get decisions made about pre-pro, graphics, transitions, footage choices, sound mixing and possible dubbing. With the cuts WWE is doing, I can't see a producer going to Vince or Kevin Dunn and trying to get the staff/money to make another show. I wouldn't be surprised if they take more of this youtube stuff and use it as interstitials however.

MassRafTer posted:UFC is able to bring in hundreds of thousands of subscribers with their back catalog and C shows. WWE should be able to run a profitable online subscription service with their back catalog and NXT specials. It would be more difficult because they went with the PPV model first, but in theory people have shown a willingness to pay for that kind of service. (They aren't changing the Network model this year.) I think the providers would be willing to have the PPVs back but it's going to be on their terms & a lot weaker WWE cut if they were to take them off the Network. Wasn't it near 50-50 or 55 WWE/45 Providers before?

rovert posted:Depends how long he is contracted with Dragon Gate. All Dragon Gate contracts run July to July each year for full-timers. There have been folks who have willingly left (Milano, SUWA, TARU), but most people get dropped and they aren't dropping a member of the Big Six. That Tozawa/Bayley photo was probably from back in 2010-2011 when Tozawa was in excursion in USA and was based in California. Bayley's from San Francisco. I personally doubt that there much to that photo other than twittering.
