    directors Who is the best director of all time?

    Hahaha, yes. I can see in my mind the 'Spitter' venom burning Nedry's face off. I mean i'm not a gorehound, just that it would've seemed organic to the scene.

    The good ole' retro-fitted remakes. Take an existing IP and force current social events into it and away we go!

    news ‘Grease’ Prequel Series ‘Rise of the Pink Ladies’ Sets April Paramount+ Premiere — Watch Teaser

    Yeah, that's a great point. No series really seems to grab my attention anymore. If it did, I don't think i'd even notice the runtime.

    directors Who is the best director of all time?

    I think there is no best director, only possibly a pick of best directors for a given project. Give two directors the same or virtually the same project and you'll likely end up with two very different movies. Ex: The Cave vs. The Descent. For all of its technical achievements, the original...

    news ‘Grease’ Prequel Series ‘Rise of the Pink Ladies’ Sets April Paramount+ Premiere — Watch Teaser

    I've given up nearly on watching any/all series' by this point, regardless of technical or story quality. They suffer from Never-gonna-end syndrome. They've all become cliffhanger bait. Mini-series are fine, though. I mean get to the point already! Or perhaps better said, "Shit or get off the pot!"

    Montauk Point/selling calm

    This is looking good. Is this going to be a stand-alone game? I had the first covid, whatever it was called. Felt like being punched in the head by Mike Tyson lol. Hope you're better now. About time standing still scenes in movies - I think that The Terminator (1984) before the shootout has a...

    Narration Test - The Red Mansion

    I liked the narration overall, just sounds perhaps a little stiff but still good. For the cat being thirsty, like what if the sound design changes only when it needs water; the water sources being more amplified while walking past or near one? Cats sweat through their paw pads. What about...

    This is strange

    Hey James, I can remember all kinds of interested shops when I was little - thrift stores, candy stores, misc. "Mom & Pop" stores, and Halloween/effects-type shops like you mentioned. Now most of those things are gone and replaced with commercialism. I'll never forget those places though; the...

    An Outtake

    Thanks, Nate! Strange thing, 2160 and 1440p have no audio, but 1080 and 720p do. So I just downloaded both 2160 and 1080.

    An Outtake

    Nate, that's a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. Is the music yours also? Cats are great, always had a strong connection with them personally. And it works as a nice music video on its own. Do you still have the original 4k file or a download option?

    This is strange

    There's some really slimy weasels out there. No self-respect, integrity or respect for others.. so many people walking around with corrupted moral codes. I couldn't do something like that. I'd feel guilt and certainly wouldn't feel as if i'd earned my place; people who do such things (like in...

    tech-help Anyone here archive important materials to physical disc?

    ..the horror stories 😵‍💫 I had some experimental ambience horror-themed tracks made years ago - not very good quality or mixing or anything, but still - my work. I thought they were gone forever after a HDD crash many years ago. I was a lot more careless then. I thought the tracks were gone...

    news There’s a New ‘Silent Hill’ Film in Development

    Yeah, my biggest problem was with the over-explaining in key parts and Sean Bean's role felt shoe-horned in. The atmosphere was good. Spawn did have a lot of problems, too. I like the costume though and clown was cool. Here's an interesting video on Youtube with Michael Jai White vs the...

    news There’s a New ‘Silent Hill’ Film in Development

    I really wanted to like the 2006 film. I've tried watching it on several occasions. There's some nice atmosphere and effects, but, especially for a big budget film it's just bad. Overbloated, oft over-acted and spelled-out. The little girl screaming "SILENT HILL! SILENT HILL!" whilst rolling on...

    Looking forward to Composing for Nice Films

    Nice tracks, gives nice visuals. Saw a short story in the last track of "Ginseng fruit". Nate, that caught me off guard "exterminate, exterminate" lol. Beware the Daleks!

    tech-help Anyone here archive important materials to physical disc?

    Anyone here do the same? Although many do laugh at the concept of doing this in 2022, there are advantages (and of course disadvantages) of archiving important material, whether it be pictures, videos or documents, to high-quality physical disc. Using a quality burner and proper burn settings...

    cinematography How to get smooth camera movement without a gimbal but using handheld?

    This is good advice. Although I believe sfoster is joking, it's not far from the truth. I've practiced martial arts as a hobby through the years and I feel that has lended itself well to camera movement/balance - being able to lock your back/waist/movie on an axis. Also, ever see in a movie or a...

    Hello all! :)

    Hah, maybe! So i'm reading an article right now, and I assure everyone here I have never used nor am I on "psychedelic drugs" or any other narcotics. 😆 "Some substances can cause you to temporarily experience synesthesia. The use of psychedelic drugs can heighten and connect your sensory...
