Further to my earlier reply, and your subsequent posts ... The quotes above go some way to explaining why I haven't (yet) commented on the excerpts you've provided. Not because it's "some weird shit" but because it's so close to much of my daily life! For a while, I was puzzled by the...

Will try ... soon. I did read the first upload, but it came at a bad time on account of that dastardly JS and his inconveniently timed birthday party. :mad: Oh, and also other stuff!

Not for the first time, Nate, I disagree with this tendency of yours to drag everything back to a question of dollars. Sure, there is a financial aspect to the "price of entry" - as for any aspect of the creative arts - but the real "price" of being able to make a movie is being able to create a...

Greetings!

Okay, I just watched Rick's video, and ... it kinda sounds like he's playing the same "why does no studio want to produce my movie? why is nobody chipping in to my kickstarter campaign?" tune. He talks about all those people pouring all those hours of their time into composing and recording a...

You're ... you're ... ... you're surely not suggesting that the goooglrithm might have gone off on a wrong tangent? 😱

Never heard of him neither. 😝 But I have heard of Aerosmith. Couldn't pick a song of theirs out of a playlist, but I do know they are/were a group.

You live in a strange, strange world, Nate! :crazy: No-one has to work 800 hours a week, and no-one needs 25 million fans to validate their creativity. There's still plenty of reasonableness in these times, and the only "unreasonable" measures one really needs to take are the showing of two...

All I can see now are these AIs tearing around the web, desperately setting up web pages, monitoring each other's activity, compiling reports for people who are too busy to read them, and ultimately making turning the rest of the internet into the sort of uselessness that is LinkedIn. I'm...

OK, that looked at first like a positive response ... but it's of no real value at all if it doesn't show a side-by-side comparison of the original and any/all proposed revisions. At a quick scan, the analysis contains about 20 references to specific lines or passages of dialogue in a script of...

Ehhhh ... I'm not sure it's a great idea to choose Casablanca as an example of the "perfect" script! :lol: On the contrary, if an algorithm had been let loose on the mess that was the original (and every intermediate) Casablanca script, it would probably have ended up as just another forgotten...

I'd want to see several properly worked-out examples of that before parting with any money, because no one element of a script can be improved "immensely" without having an impact on the other aspects. Straight off, I can think of a situation where a reasonable improvement (especially for a...

I don't. 🥸 I'm old-school. If I really want to listen to music, I use CDs or vinyl, or find somewhere to hear it live. There was a time when I'd also listen to the radio, but that's become really dreary in the last decade. 😢

"Dunno what you're working on, but ya better keep at it coz it doesn't look finished ..."

This seems to be quite specific to concert videos, and generally those uploaded by an official channel (broadcast media or the artists themselves). I wouldn't ever pay for YouTube "premium" because their free product is such a pile of shyte (and getting worse by the week) I wouldn't trust them...

Not sure if this counts, but it has a "net" component so I'll take my chances! :D Some years ago - 2021, to be precise - one of our London-based members complained about wall-to-wall Brexit coverage, which prompted me to hastily cobble together a suggested opening scenario, i.e. this: Well, a...

Time for (what seems to have become) my weekly YouTube rant. :angry: Dear TuberFürher: if you allow people to upload (music/concert) videos that are an hour long, and I click play, do you think there's a better-than-average chance that I might, in fact, want to watch an hour-long recording of a...

Context. No-one's stopping you from filming simple scenes ... but you're not filming them. Instead, you're planning a no-props, no-costumes, no-context "rehearsal" that's going to cost you (and others) time and money, without any clear objective. As a lawyer, you must surely have been in a...

But ... why? Seriously, why? As an aspiring producer-director, there's almost nothing you can learn from pointing a camera or two at a guy or two in a featureless room reading lines from a script that's a symbolic excerpt from a movie that may or may not ever get made. You're not even treating...

If he tries to play the French and American unions off against each other, that might be legitimate ... 🤔 Then again, with a couple of cameras in the room, he'd have no trouble getting 13 year's worth of footage of people talking to, at and across each other, no props or script needed. :mad:
