    cgi Save Point Art Gallery

    Wow, thanks. This is super helpful. I had no idea node-based control was available now with SD. Are there any lighting / color matching hacks to simplify the matching of my real lighting to my virtual environment? A lot of the greenscreen video work I see on YouTube looks horrendous. I have LED...

    cgi Save Point Art Gallery

    Windows? Linux? Ya, any help at all would be very much appreciated. Are there any particular forums you recommend for this topic? I'm on a 2020 MacBook Air M1, hoping to upgrade to a MacBook Pro soon. I'm proficient with Blender and I'm a software engineer, so tech is not my hurdle, time is...

    cgi Save Point Art Gallery

    What hardware are you running this on? Are you doing video? Do you have any experience with generative fill and original footage? I'm looking for guidance on how to enhance narration scenes with generative AI.

    lighting-grip Compact (travel) key light

    In the specs it says the power consumption is 150 watts, and Google says this converts to 19,500 lumens, which would be well more than enough for a key light for filming one person, according to ChatGPT.

    lighting-grip Compact (travel) key light

    I'm interested in buying a flexible LED array for a key light and I'm wondering if this one will work (can't tell if it's bright enough). https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1549106-REG/godox_fl150s_flexible_led_light_23_6.html I shoot everything solo, all my shoots are interviews, and...

    peer review being flawed is essential CONTEXT for the stories never said it was, I was constructing a hyperbolic hypothetical to illustrate a point There are two narratives or plots: The people and their experiences, along with the wider implications. Joe is a great scientist. Joe was wronged...

    No, you are the person who derailed this conversation. I was looking for help with shoot locations and metaphor ideas, and you decided to try to teach how I'm wrong about the flaws of peer review and whether or not this is well established (1, 2). I've shared with you as much as I'm willing...

    @CelticRambler I think what's actually happening here is that you're reacting defensively to a perceived threat, as if I'm some kind of anti-science heretic, some detractor who doesn't respect the fine institution of science, and who needs to be set straight. Does that sound about right? I am...

    @CelticRambler, we won't be able to have a productive conversation if you're not reading my replies. You quoted the original draft of the narrative, yet I've already told you I'm taking your feedback and able to revise the approach to address your criticism: The video you cite agrees with my...

    No, you would not see that. I've not given any such examples. If you want a historical example, continental drift is good. It was not resolved through peer review, but through demographic shift. Some historians have claimed that the paleomagnetism evidence convinced everyone but the historical...

    I really appreciate the thoughtful feedback, even though we disagree. I think that, to fully make my point, I would need to share with you more info which I don't want to do via the forum, and I'd rather wait for the video to be done. I plan to have a private review before it's to go public and...

    To add one more point to this, I interviewed a physics professor emeritus of Princeton and he actually gave me a beautiful quote which supports my point. I'll paraphrase it for you: Some STEM scientists incorrectly the assess how much bias can impair their own judgement.

    I think this is all good feedback to improve the approach I'm taking. But I can't tell if you're actively disagreeing with the argument itself, or just pointing out ways to improve it. I do think that the flaws of the peer review process are pretty well known and accepted (Vox article for you)...

    Well, they were filmed already. I found a free AI tool that can generate scenes in Blender really easily. I think I'm going to start with this.

    Sure. I won't share the whole script right here, but below is the first major narrative segment which covers the ideas of the lighthouse and the castle with the moat. So the lighthouse metaphor relates to "Reviewers are supposed to be good stewards of science, acting only in good faith", and...

    Ya, I'm still in the SF Bay Area. Any location tips you can share? I have this idea of a lighthouse that is replaced by a castle with a moat, it's like the idea of a guiding light which is replaced by a defensive barrier. Not sure how to best use the idea though. There's good stock footage for...

    Because, where am I going to find a dilapidated old library / school, filled with dusty books? Or a broken-down bridge / rickety footbridge? Or an archaeological dig site with artifacts being uncovered? Or a fallen statue / monument? All of these ideas would need to be created using generative...
