Post Your Lens Flare Jokes Here

The "VII" image that I posted above is of course pathetically lame, because I used an old version of PS and its rudimentary built-in flare filter. I don't have a plugin to do proper anamorphic flares. I'm lame.

[Edit: I have deleted that image, because it was lame.]

...

As one plugin vendor recently observed, anamorphic flares "have become extremely popular" in "Science Fiction films such as Star Trek," "to create a stylistic theme throughout the film."

You know, without the lens flares, that would look AWESOME!!! I especially liked giving Luke the lightsaber.

 

MY EYES ARE BURNING!!!

 

I love lenses flare (no joke there sorry).

 

I have no joke but here is a 20 minute interview with John Knoll where he talks about his lens flare invention and its use:

fucifer that is awful...just awful...

 

The Light Side of The Force to be renamed The Blinding Side of The Force!

 

I cant see the Lense Flare with all these jokes in the way

 

I was wondering where this thread went.

The light side of the force shall be called the blinding side of the force.
I'm going to buy stock in the flashlight industry right now. When abrams starts filming ep vii, it will go way up

 

Episode vii: The Phantom Lens Flare

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The lens flare shall free me.

 

When you have finished covering Episode 7 in lens flares, then you have my permission to die.

 

People who tell them ARE the joke.

 

Is that a joke?

 

Sorry, I really HATED the lens flare amount in the last Star Trek. In half of the film I couldn't see anything! My old parents had to quit watching it altogether because the flares made them sick watching. I don't see what it adds, and I really hope Arbams stops overusing them like in Star Trek.

Still find this "The FLare is strong with this one" the funniest:



The WORST thing is, that I am kinda afraid it will REALLY look like that. >.<

 

I'm going to be outside the theater when episode VII comes out selling lens flare protection glasses.

 

Im ready for anything

 

No, it is making a point. Trite jokes are not funny. The subject isn't even that good in terms of joke material; they stopped being funny after the first few days of the announcement, and were only moderately funny then. Time to find some new comedy material, the crowd is booing.

 

Yeah, ok you are correct but we're bored and endlessly waiting for more news. There's also no harm in old jokes.... also you realize you dont have to look at this thread if you find the jokes old and stale, right?

This thread also serves a purpose of keeping lens flare jokes out of other threads, so they wont ambush people with your opinion in other threads. So please, let bygones be bygones

 

Now there you have a valuable point.

 

I tried to start a serious board about but it got locked because of too many jokes.
