Ball of the Meat: Social Thread v6.0

Somehow I am hungry for chicken...mmhhh... chicken!

 

"They acted like it was normal, but they were human!"

"Losers!"

It made me giggle

 

Nate, the more you talk, the more I consider holding off and just buying HD.
I'm never gonna get to make this movie tho, if I do that. I'll be out of college by the time I have cash for one of those.


Cripes.
Dilemma.
EDIT: Although, looking at the Sony HDR-HC1 or HDR-HC3, I wouldn't be paying that much more for it than a GL-2. That could be feasable.
What do you guys think of these?

 

I just watched a few more Wonder Showzen clips.


That show is messed up.

 

Heh, we have chickens at our place. Not nearly that many of course, but I still laughed out loud several times watching it.

Plus...I was so sure I just saw Fig. (No, not in the chicken factory.) I'm here at work and walked past the front desk - there was a guy standing there with his back to the windows that had reddish hair and the type of shirts I've seen Fig wear in pictures/videos before. I had to stop and do a double-take and remind myself "no, wait, he's in Florida" before I realized there was no way it was him.

 

Now that's creepy, I think the fanfilms are having some subliminal effects on our brains...



...or maybe it's just Fig.

 

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

And so my titular legacy passes into the night...

 

So i was thinking about doing one of those small, interactive 'look all around someone's room' things, where you click left/right up/down and look around a room from a website (not a live uplink obviously). While i've got some idea on how to go about it, i'm pretty low on any specifics, but i've seen it done a fair few times, and just wondered if anyone knew better than i, or had any links to information on it. I tried ghooghel but since i don't really know what this is technically called, i didn't have much luck. Any help is appreciated.

 

And so my titular legacy passes into the night...

Whoo! Titular!



Rick McCallum loves you!

 

I lol'd.

 

"They acted like it was normal...like they were human."

 

"I screamed at the workers...show me how you work...make chicken dinners faster!"

Happy times.

That's quicktime VR which can be done with 3ds Max. Basically you have to take 6 pictures, up/down/left/right/front/back and then put them together (you can use some special programs to do this or try some cube mapping) then you can just use the Panorama exporter to render a panorama and then save as a quicktime VR.

 

Cheers i've got 3ds Max handy, i'll have to have a good think about this.

 

I would actually recommend RealViz Stitcher. Easy to use, and renders out the nifty interactive QTVR's with ease. Go to Realviz.com and check out the demo.

EDIT: I can't read.

 

The HC1 is a great little cam. I love mine. Outperforms the Gl-2 in pretty much everything with the exception of low light, and I don't remember if the Gl-2 has built in xlr or not. Either way I probably wouldn't reccomend picking up the HC3 as I don't believe it has an external mic input at all.

 

Being left-handed, I got a lot of people noticing and making a big deal out it from time to time. I like to do the same thing to right-handed folks sometimes. (*gasp* "You're right-handed! Wow...I had no idea!")

 

But don't you feel strange that cameras are right-handed?

No, I'm not.

 

Well, good. Neither am I.


Oh, more HL2 mod goodness: Iron Grip.


I've not played it yet, but it looks badass--steampunk Eastern European-ish aesthetic, with two-sided conflicts. On on side is a single person using an RTS kind of interface controlling a team of AI, and on the other side is a small group of people in FPS interfaces trying to hold them off and achieve their goals. Coool.

 

The thing that got me interested in the GL-2 was it's function in low-light. I'm sure I can figure out how to light night scenes so this won't be problematic.
And, with GL-2s priced at $2000-2,500, whereas the sites giving the HC1 reviews were stating $1,500, this seems like the way to go. I'm not sure if my current system could stand up to HD, but my next step after camera is building a new computer. Hmmm.
The external mic input isn't really a problem, so long as it has it's own mic. That's where minidiscs and clappers come in handy.
Well, this could work.
::scratches chin thoughtfully::


It's all about the resolution.

 

What's the matter with that? My fingers are all thumbs!
Wait a moment, you go shopping in "The Leftorium"TM, right?
OK, bad joke!

 

Maybe you guys can help me out. I can't tell which one is sexier:
