It's funny how you pointed out the eyebrows because that was the very first thing i noticed... they look so real!... and from what i have seen of the real thing, very accurately done... Nice job :)

Re: Packing up my backpack…

Jeff — Wed, 09 May 2007 02:17:31 -0000

I was there when you were on that ladder... hahaha... good times. I remember posing on a ladder too. I was hanging a light for my ISP, but mine was faked cause I wasn't actually filming when they took that. Your ISP show was very cool.

Your post makes a great deal of sense to me. I only took 1 drawing class ever, and it was exactly as you described. They didn't really get into technique because they wanted us to be "free to experiment". I admit that I would definitely have appreciated more fundamentals in that class.

We didn't do any performance art in that class, because it was drawing only, but we did do some video installations in other classes I took.

I think you'd have fun taking more classes :)

By far my favorite! Take that Mac lovers :) I kid... I kid. Mac's are aite, but do Mac lovers really need to have that whole unconditional love thing? My PC love is definitely conditional; mostly the if, then, else variety as opposed to the switch or else if variety.

Sometimes I like to imagine throwing my PC out the window, driving over it again and again with my car, and burning a hole in the CPU with a magnifying glass. I'm a bit distrustful of any user that doesn't have similar thoughts about their computers from time-to-time. I suspect Mac lovers do... they just don't like to talk about it as much ;) S'aite Mac lovers, I if-then-else you anyway.

I particularly like the Minotaur!

Re: Love Angle: The Script; in Flux

Jeff — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 02:13:21 -0000

Hang in there man. Writing the script sucks I know. I was never very good at thar part either. Truthfully though, this is the fun part. The part I always hated was logging tapes ;) Boy did I hate that (unless it was for a documentary...). That horrible part aside, making movies is great fun. Some of the best memories of my entire life involve working with actors, laughing over funny takes, being out till 2 in the morning in the back of a truck driving at 15 miles per hour filming a car behind us or doing it in broad daylight and nearly causing a traffic jam, or getting some seeminly impossible effect to actually work. Good luck man. Have a blast! :)

Re: Disney reusing animation elements

Jeff — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 04:12:10 -0000

Now here's a post I can really get into. I find it interesting that Disney reused elements in his films, but I'm not really disappointed. Animation (be it cell or 3D) is SO time-consuming. 24 drawings for each second of film time you're watching. That's a lot of drawings. So I see no problem with the reuse. I followed the link to the rest of the screenshots, and I liked one of the comments up there about reuse in 3D animation, which is also common. In the 3D world you can animate a character and then copy parts (or all) of that animation to another character. You can even make quick changes to the copy such as elongating the movements or slowing them down or speeding them up simply by scaling the keyframes.

What is a bit surprising to me was to see Winnie the Pooh matched up with Jungle Book. The animation is the same but the characters are different. That is a bit unusual for Cell animation I would think. You still have to redraw everything for the new character. It only saves you the time of blocking out the movements and timings.

Re: Mini Taur

Jeff — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 04:17:18 -0000

He looks a touch sad :( What's his story I wonder. Maybe he just wandered into NYC for the first time and was startled by all the lights and people, so, in shock, he slowly sank down against a brick wall.

Re: Which Mini DV Tape is Best?

Jeff — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 15:20:15 -0000

The one thing I would caution is that for the 80 min MiniDV tapes they actually have to make the tape thinner to fit in the cassette's shell, which might make them a bit more prone to wear out or crinkle. 60 mins is the standard length.

Everything else you found out is definitely true. I usually shoot on MiniDVCAM, which is sony's pro tape for their DVCAM format (can't use these on non Sony Cameras). These are 40 min tapes. It costs me almost twice as much, but the tapes have less drop outs and come in cases that seal them better from outside dust and moisture. The length isn't a problem because I never shoot more than 40 mins in one take.

I've also shot on TDKs and Sony's Premium MiniDV tapes. Both are aite, but I never shoot important stuff on those and I try to avoid using them too too much cause they dirty the heads more than the pro tapes. I've heard good things about Panasonic's tapes. There's a pseudo format war between them an Sony. DVCPro vs DVCAM. And now of course there's HDDV. My own personal drool-cam is this one: http://www.gizmag.com/go/7522/. Shoots on solid state memory and has better resolution and and much better color depth than DV or HDDV.

It's definitely true that you should avoid mixing tapes and tape brands as much as possible. It's a good idea to have the camera's heads professionally cleaned every so often too. Otherwise you'll start seeing this weird digital banding thing where parts of previous frames are visible over the current frame. I've actually found that DV camera are more sensitive to dirty heads than their analog counterparts.

Re: Which Mini DV Tape is Best?

Jeff — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 20:35:35 -0000

Yeah it's largely dependent on what kinda camera you're shooting on. Reminds me of still photography in some ways in that you're not really buying a camera, you're buying a system (lens, tapes, accessories, etc.). All that has to be factored in to a video camera purchase decision.

You make this look so easy! You're so good at it.

It's like how you hear people say you can find clients sometimes by teaching classes/seminars and trying to show people how to do the job themselves. Sometimes the students, after learning what's involved, realize they'd rather hire you to do it for them ;) I'm definitely in that category. :)

I really really like this one. I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it's the idea of jellyfish monsters ;) but I think this is one of my favorites. It's very surreal and kind of cinamatic. I think I could see it animated somehow. You should be a storyboard artist. Wouldn't that be sweet?

Re: Trademarks are not verbs

Jeff — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 13:04:56 -0000

Wow... pretty foolish on the part of Adobe. It's probably someone in legal that wrote that up, ignoring of course the immense marketing benefits of people going around saying "I photoshopped it."

I mean Google gets it. "How'd you find it?" "Oh I just googled it."

When your product becomes a common-use verb, isn't that the height of brand recognition?

Re: Review: Sunshine

Jeff — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 15:12:38 -0000

I never liked 2001: A Space Odyssey. I always felt it was over-hyped. Kubrick was talented, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I feel like his movies were liked just because he made them; often times this is the fate of a well-known artist. I read recently that Kari from Mythbusters is a sculpture artist but stopped selling her stuff because people had started buying them simply because she made them, not because they liked her art.

On the otherhand, everyone has different tastes, so maybe 2001 just isn't my cup of tea. I'll try watching it again sometime and see if my opinion of it has changed.

So she lived in the US for a bit first? Interesting. It really is possible to get a nice British accent. It's so tempting to blow off work, move to the UK, get a British accent, and then woo American girls with it... haha...

I like the cabby though. He seems like the kinda bloke who would know where all the good English pubs are.

Re: Kristen Ashburn’s BLOODLINE PROJECT

Jeff — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 22:19:58 -0000

That is true. Even though there are many forms of cancer, if the right cure were found, the principle behind it could probably be applied to many of them.

I remember when I was a kid. I thought these diseases would be cured by now.

Re: Review: Scream

Jeff — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 10:51:44 -0000

I totally agree. It is crazy the influence that Scream has had... mind you there had been horror films for years and years before that, but they were usually B movies and after a bigger showing in the 80's, the genre had kinda petered out altogether... Scream essentially revived it.

It's so funny to think about it, because well... it's Scream. It's not like we're talking about some masterpiece like Citizen Kane or something here, but it was an important film.

Re: My poor Powerbook

Jeff — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 11:08:07 -0000

Danng... You know (being completely honest here)... The general public has weighed in on Macs as the most reliable laptops on the market. They always top the list in PC Magazine and lots of other rating lists out there. Yet from the reports I've read of things breaking very quickly and issues with Apple service and the Apple Store, and the Apple fan boys and girls I've talked to, I've come to realize they're really no better or worse than anyone else. The difference to me is that when a Mac breaks, the users don't complain about it; they roll with the punches I guess. If anything goes wrong with a PC, anything at all, even something minor, the user throws a tantrum.

If I had to guess, Mac fan boys and girls want us to join their club, and their way of doing it sometimes is to grossly stretch the truth regarding the reliability of their products. I can't tell you the number of people I've talked to who wanted to own a Powerbook solely because they believed it would hold up better than a Toshiba, Dell, IBM (Lenovo now), or Gateway laptop. That said, Apple does make some awesome products, and there are other compelling reasons for buying them.

On a side note, I once had someone tell me that their PC-based 3D graphics software ran faster on a particular Mac under Parallels than it did on a particular PC. I proved that was impossible because all of the specs of the Mac were much much slower than the PC it was being compared to; factoring in that Parallels is a virtual machine that slows things down even more, and it was just absolutely impossible. Apple has this way of changing user perceptions (even their perception of how much time it takes to process something). It's really a credit to their marketing.

Re: My poor Powerbook

Jeff — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 11:22:40 -0000

Re: Review: Jersey Girl

Jeff — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 16:34:42 -0000

My own opinion of it after I saw it... i think this was my actual quote "an enjoyable if not somewhat formulaic film". It's a formula, but what's wrong with that? I agree people expect Kevin Smith when they see a movie of his, and this film wasn't his norm. But it's endearing and entertaining.

The more major reason why Jersey Girl flopped I think (in the box office anyway) was the casting of J-Lo... she was barely in it, but her credit on the project following the failure of Gigli was a PR nightmare. Smith said that a bunch of times. I think I remember reading somewhere that he actually shot his movie first, but it was released after Gigli. I might be wrong about that. If i'm not... sucks though. Talk about bad timing.

When I first got interested in film and started trying to watch more stuff... I definitely had the filmmaker snob attitude. Everything had to be artsy and pushing the envelope or it was no good. Man did I love a good crane shot!

But film's about much more than that. It's about entertainment and eliciting an emotional response. In the artsy / edgy film movement, it's easy to lose sight of that. What's wrong with a film that's just enjoyable? ;) I miss the old-school steven spielberg popcorn movies... haha.

Honestly even the least edgy, least artsy film out there can still be solid entertainment and I have great respect for anyone who can direct a film like that. It's hard work.

No need to appologize. That is ridiculous that someone would do that. It's one thing to reappropriate something and make it your own artistic work, pay respect artistically to an artist you admire, build on the work of someone who came before you, or in some way satire a popular work of art.

This is anything but a proper example of that. This person copied... blatantly copied your work with almost no changes at all, tried to pass it off as their own, and even went so far as to enter it into a contest.

I'm glad you're taking it in stride. And I really respect that. I'd probably be the same way, but I'm also glad you posted this. What this person did was definitely the wrong thing to do. I just hope this person knows that and understands why.

sigh... i guess i have a pet peeve about plagarism of all kinds. I don't like it when someone tries to get by on the work of others. I've been burned by that before too, and it's not so fun when you put so much work into something, and so one else tries to claim credit.

I did the same thing you did at first... shooting for coverage. But more and more I switched to shooting for the cut. I haven't done it in awhile, but that's still my preferred technique, and I sometimes use shot lists or story boards to make sure I get what I want for the editing room. The more you do it the easier it gets to cut the thing together in your head as you shoot.

I also agree with you. If you have a single camera, a mix of shooting for the cut and shooting coverage is probably best. Shoot with a plan for what you'll need and get all those shots. If there's extra time, shoot a bit of coverage for some extra options incase things don't look the way you had originally envisioned when you get to editting.
