SmokaDustbowl posted:if mr robot doesn't have an incredibly nihlistic ending like terror in resonance I'm going to be really disappointed I want Mr.Robot to end with a penultimate episode where Elliot/Mr.Robot turning directly to the camera and telling us, his imaginary friends which he now knows are realer than he'll ever be, to get off our collective couches and on to the streets ASAP and commit vile and atrocious acts of treason against the faceless capitalist overlords immediately! I f we don't we've just consumed Elliot and his loved ones as another distraction in our brainwashed lives. The last episode will either be a pastiche of massive IRL protests cobbled together by Youtube footage or a shot o WhiteRose laughing about the predictable plebs in the ALderson family graveyard.

They may also help during audio sessions or they may just hand that off to someone else, depending on how important the animation aspect is to them, since it can be all consuming. Every other animator essentially has to match the director's style. (This is for 2D.)

Really elongate those vowels'''' Realtalk: Directors of animated programs have to work with the writers and storyboarders fairly closely on top of working with the animation director and sound producers. It's a bonkers amount of work to produce a live action thing but animation is even crazier.

precision posted:Key: The Metal Idol The Peripheral is good, but I don't like it as much as Pattern Recognition or Count Zero. You shouldn't read them back to back, though, because they are actually the same story. Pattern Recognition is just not set in the Sprall, but rather in the modern day.

That one is probably third or tied for second best overall Gibson novel, and in many ways it's my favorite because it so perfectly uses... whatever the opposite of "purple prose" is... stark? Spartan? Anyway, the whole novel reads like a neverending Zen poem, which probably intentionally ties directly into the novels main theme, "always do the exactly correct thing at the exactly correct time with minimal excess effort". I don't even mind that the novel's central character is literally William Gibson crossed with Jason Bourne.

Vanderdeath posted:Fair dinkum, as the antipodals say Yeah, I like Gibson's more scifi work a lot, but reading Pattern Recognition, I felt like the more realistic setting gave the characters and ideas a chance to stand completely on their own and they did. Like when a bunch of high-concept scifi stuff is going on, it's basically screaming "here are the ideas this book is about", and the more down-to-earth setting let the ideas emerge a little more organically. Regardless, they are both really great books.

I love how Pattern Recognition predicted both YouTube series' like Marble Hornets and creepypasta in a way that you wish his vision would have hewed closer to the reality we got. I also love how Zero History is a science fiction novel about pants.

I so mary-sued all over Pattern Recognition. Read it many times in many hospitals and ERs. (Thanks, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome ya dickbag). Glad to see fellow goons love it as well.AwkwardKnob posted:This is kind of why I stopped watching anime. GitS was my first (and only) foray into it and it blew my mind.

So USA has a new show called Falling Water, and the reason I mention it is because one of the main characters is basically the main character of Pattern Recognition. She's a cool-hunter, who a mysterious benefactor contacts to interpret dream information for him...

I wish I knew how you get a job as a Cool Hunter, because I know they actually do exist. I think I'd be good at it, since I have apophenia at least as bad as Gibson/Cayce's. I think you probably have to live in LA or NYC. e: Just watched the first episode of Falling Water, it was VERY good. It bears superficial similarities to Sense8, at least aesthetically, but I don't think it's trying to rip that show off. Also, the Gibson referencing must be intentional, since her mysterious benefactor has a name similar to "Bigend" and is from Iceland, whereas Bigend was from the Netherlands? I think? Anyway, it seemed super intentional. The dude even acts like Bigend. precision fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Sep 30, 2016 |

Cool hunting is dead. The only honest to goodness cool hunters now are trend forecasters. Instagram is the closest you get to it, and most of that poo poo is still sponsored. Even your every day industrial designer gets most of their inspo from Instagram these days, thus feeding back into itself. Your footwear designers get wgsn forecasts and still design within brand languages, tho they might pay lip service to democratizing design. Design will eat itself.

Gnossiennes posted:Cool hunting is dead. I mean, "cool hunting" was never really a mainstream or common profession. Even Cayse's job in Pattern Recognition is literally just that of a design consultant. The only reason people hire her is because her track record is really good. And yes, the fact that everyone posts their own style on the internet means that no one has to leave a desk to survey current trends. I assume Tyrell being a suspect in a high profile murder case at ECorp near the time of the 5/9 hacks really helps move him to the top of the list. Like, sure it could be coincidence, but considering his ties to known people involved in the hacks, it doesn't seem like a stretch that he would be the prime suspect.

Snak posted:I mean, "cool hunting" was never really a mainstream or common profession. Even Cayse's job in Pattern Recognition is literally just that of a design consultant. The only reason people hire her is because her track record is really good. Scott Westerfield had a book back in 2004 about cool hunting and it's corporate ties, which was my first intro into it. Cool hunting as a practice is kinda neat though. Part of my job includes trend documenting because my company isn't invested in design to a point where WGSN or other forecasters are used. It's a niche market (test equipment) but I document design trends in a wide variety -- mid to high end consumer goods (with a focus on prosumer), not just electronics, but also housewares and tools, and also trends in graphic design and illustration. But I'm one person and not a consultancy (and I still gotta do my main job, designing stuff), so what I can do is nothing close to what actual market researchers do. I use their data when I can  I should read pattern recognition. But I never finished neuromancer  . I just didn't get as into it and I think I was reading Snow Crash at the same time and preferred that (since it's faster paced/easier to get through). I'll try pick it back up this weekend, but it's been a good four or five years since then. Also as a person who likes anime (and MAPPA) and Mr Robot, why should I watch terror in resonance?

He was the one that ordered the hacked honeypot server to be put back into normal operation, which allowed the hack to go through. On top of that, he was wanted for Sharon Knowles murder and then dropped off the face of the earth after the hack. That's probably enough regardless of what happened in the 3 days.

LentThem posted:I hate being That Guy but did we ever find out why the FBI and the nation as a whole consider Tyrell to be the mastermind of 5/9? Or is that still part of the 3-day gap? Tyrel left work with explicit instructions to his entire staff that left everything vulnerable and prevented Allsafe/Gideon from rescuing anything. It would be nice to know if the media/FBI is spinning his motive as revenge (which doesn't make sense because 5/9 would have had to be planned before his firing), plain mental instability, or political sympathy with FSociety. Colby's framing in the first season bothered me a lot more. Colby was a senior member of E-Corp who was shown to have pretty much been a careerist who did a lot of dickish things to get where he was. Wouldn't the more critical thinking members of the media as well as anyone in the FBI be highly skeptical that he was "the leader of FSociety" or involved in radical left-wing hacktivism against a company he's presumably worked for his entire adult life?
