Reddit isn't entirely useless. I found this through it today and thought I'd post it and see what people thought of it. Aside from being spoken by David Foster Wallace and therefore quite interesting in and of itself, I felt the production of it was well done with the possible exception of the...

Yeah, it's looking like that'll be the smart thing to do for a beginner like myself. Which is actually good news as it clears up another $109 to spend on audio which I'm finding is bloody expensive. Scratch that, everything in this industry is expensive! And the sad thing is that I'm not even...

Yeah, this is another question I was going to ask elsewhere. I've been told that the lesser cards (30mb/s) are generally good enough for capture. At $50 per 32GB I'm not even sure how many of them I would need starting out. Soooo much to learn. Wish I was younger and didn't waste so many years...

See, this is what I already thought but I mentioned my budget and limitations and also my interest in learning photography and yet they're still saying I should go the dedicated route. The other thing they're countering is that I thought a 50mm prime lens was a good second choice next to an...

So, I just posted a query about camera purchases to another forum and got an unexpected answer considering that it was a photography forum. Basically, the person said that a Canon 600D, which I had so far believed to be a decent entry purchase for learning video, is a waste of money and that I...

Wow, $1k. Still out of my price range but good to know there's something to aim for. I swear, though, that this shit is gonna send me broke for several life-times.

By it's nature, a community based around independent creative endeavour is going to have more amateurs who want to learn than professionals who are willing to teach. And any community that wants to survive will grow and change with an influx of new people who don't have the benefit of previous...

Context matters. Sherlock Holmes entire character is based around his genius. Steve McGarrett's character is entirely based around a script-writer's inability to write anything better. Not only that, but the character's aren't even consistent across the series. In the most recent episode, Steve...

Pfft, ten people at best.

I think people take the internet far too seriously. It tends to become part of people's worlds rather than as a form of entertainment, social interaction and information gathering that they can walk away from at any point. I long ago gave up any notion of getting upset over things said on the...

Ok, I suck at searching 'cause I can't seem to find it.

Whilst interesting I don't really think it applies here since I highly doubt any diseases are going to be cured by funding the next Transformers movie. I think the greater benefit is to the amount of people who earn money through the profession. They pay taxes, they have families who work in...

Which Blackmagic model is this? All the models I can find are well into the $3k (AUD) price range.

Lately I've been noticing it everywhere. Hemlock Grove, Nikita, Once Upon a Time, Revolution, etc. And yeah, I watch a lot of crap TV. I think the only recent TV show that does the flashback thing half-decently is Arrow.

Who buys the content you work on? The middle-class is what generates most of the world's economy and it's the middle class that is suffering as the "rich get richer". With all this 'belt tightening' going on around the world, if there isn't significant change to flatten wealth distribution...

Ok, those channels definitely look good. Then again, I suppose they're more like websites than individual videos uploaded to YouTube. Thanks.

A Fantastic Fear of Everything- 8/10. Simon Pegg plays the role of a writer who has researched serial killers and becomes paranoid that he's going to be murdered. This leads him to confront his childhood fears and resolve, sort-of, his issues in an... err... unique way. Dark comedy that I felt...

Oh sure, in that sense I agree. But how do I FIND them in the first place? A website is generally more accessible. For instance, the one I linked to in my OP was the second website I clicked on after just one Google search. Finding the equivalent quality and abundance of material in one place...

I think the 1% who see the profits are the real problem. If that money was more fairly and evenly distributed, then it would be of far greater benefit to the world economy which would in turn help more people in general.

Do you know what the most torrented show on the internet is these days? Game of Thrones. And yet, it's still hugely successful and making HBO tons of money. Literally millions of people are not paying for it and getting it illegally just hours after each episode airs. HBO is pretty expensive...
