I think now that anyone can make Marvel style visuals we’ll see some really interesting stuff, maybe with a grungier more ”handmade” feel. Since you can’t compete by going bigger and flashier you’ll have to compete by being more interesting and unique. That’s my hope anyway.
A weird side effect of seeing all these Hollywood blockbuster style AI videos is that I get less and less interested in watching actual Hollywood blockbusters.
It’s kind of like when someone makes a parody of a genre that’s so accurate that it ruins it and you can’t see/do it the same way again.
Top picture: a normal size door wedge. Bottom picture: what was delivered. A door wedge for ants.
I guess I should have read the measurements and not just looked at the picture…
Two-panel black-and-white comic titled “Psychopaths in movies.” Left panel caption: “Before main character figures it out:” a smiling man says, “I’m Mr Normal just doing normal things normally.” Right panel caption: “1 second after main character figures it out:” the same man, now wide-eyed and frantic, shouts “Eek ook!” and “I kill you with spoon,” while holding up a spoon and wearing underpants on his head.
Definitely no need to apologize 😄 Very effective and impressive filmmaking 👏
This was great!

Poster for the film Kidnapped
Most disturbing film watched: Kidnapped (2010). Brutal and bleak watch. Some impressive technical feats like the long unbroken takes and a head smash that almost rivals Irreversible. But man, you just feel bad after watching.

Watched 131 films this year. Mostly older films that were new to me.
Favorite from this year: One Battle After Another. Weapons is up there too.
Screenshot from my youtube recap saying my most watched channel is Taskmaster and that I’m in the top 2% of viewers with 186 videos watched.
I guess YouTube has a yearly recap now too.
Also, everyone should be watching Taskmaster.
Saw a familiar joke in ’After the Thin Man’ and went down a rabbit hole of finding the earliest filmed version.
Walk this Way:
Great YouTube video where a guy builds a 16mm camera from scratch. Explains really well how film cameras work.

It’s a prequel to Amityville in Space set on Earth.
Looking forward to do some haunted house horror! 👻
Video uploaded about making ’Call of the Ocean’ but also just shooting Super 8 in general.

Yeah at first I had the text on for longer and it followed the footage off screen but it didn’t feel right. Since it has that old 70s look it felt too modern and out of place for me.
Also on YouTube but age restricted because of gore

Yep. I’ve done some tests syncing audio and it’s been pretty successful but I just didn’t have enough film to waste on shooting a clapper board. Just start rolling and action! 🙂
Camera is good but I also use de-flickering and stabilizing in Resolve for a more steady, consistent image. I don’t remove any grain (I actually sharpen everything a bit) but I use the dust buster tool in Resolve to take out the biggest dirt and hairs. I’m going to do a youtube video on my process.
It’s funny how the compression removes so much of the grain that it looks more like 16mm film or something.
Shot a 2 min short on Super8 with @lottalosten.bsky.social while we were in Sweden. Shot on Kodak Vision 3 50D with a Canon 814XL-S camera.

When you record a long YouTube video and don’t notice that the overhead mic is slowly sagging into frame so you have to reshoot it… 😞
Harry Potter of course. Just look at those Harry Potter colors.
A screenshot of framed.wtf one frame challenge where you guess the movie. The film is Shazam and I got it on the second try.
Many times I’ve gotten these on the first try but yesterday I didn’t… 😳
(You only see a little bit of the image at first and more is revealed with each guess)
