Topic: LIVE EPISODE SATURDAY (35 replies, posted in Episodes)
This Saturday, at 3:30 PST, we'll be doing a live broadcast of a Down in Front commentary (for the first time ever) from the chat room, with audio and video.
And that movie will be The Core.
Plan your lives accordingly.

Re: 300 (37 replies, posted in Episodes)
Greg...would you quit listening to the commentaries early and then blabbing about them? Some of us actually wait until they're released.
Yeah, I have to endorse this policy.
I often have episodes up in advance for one reason or another, I don't mind folks sniffing them out, but hold off on discussion of the actual commentary until the release pls.

...weird. I guess Blu Rays wouldn't be consigned to the frame rate fuckery between NTSC and PAL because, well, it's not NTSC or PAL. Maybe we see them all at 24?

Go onnnnnn...
Anyway, great to have you on the forums, Zap!

Re: Animation Question For Teague (26 replies, posted in Off Topic)
I think cartoons are safe, and conservatively directed movies are not. I guess the line is somewhere in computer animated movies, with a little bleed into very stylized photographed movies and classically directed cartoons.

Re: Animation Question For Teague (26 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Yeah, I'm not completely onboard with myself as paraphrased there. In cartoons it doesn't bug me so much.

Re: Animation Question For Teague (26 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Are we still talking about crash zooms and impossible camera moves? My problem is with something that is trying to seem physically plausible and realistic going in for one of those gimmicks, not cartoons.

Tell us about your first love, your first heartbreak, your one-sentence philosophy, and something you've learned about yourself.
Long posts are acceptable.

Re: Animation Question For Teague (26 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Again, don't recall the conversation, but I've used the Madagascar zoom as an example of a type of camera movement that can be used inappropriately, not as an inappropriate use.

Re: Animation Question For Teague (26 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Right, but a zoom in a 3D movie - in terms of rendering or presentation - feels like your perspective moving. In a cartoon, it seems like a transition.

Re: Animation Question For Teague (26 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Well, one speculative answer might be because you don't engage on a physics level with a cartoon and you do with most 3D animated movies.

Re: Animation Question For Teague (26 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Brian again speaks for me on this issue.
Also, "a lot."
EDIT: And while we're at it, "never mind." That's just one of virtually hundreds of two-word expressions and terms that people connect with a hyphen or a lack of a space that makes me shift uncomfortably in my chair.

Re: Animation Question For Teague (26 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Brian wins.
Also, Madagascar is more an example of the type of camera move rather than a really frustrating use of it. For me, anyway.

Princess Bride, yeah. I have never been (and probably never will be again) that buzzed on a show. That episode I might have been full on drunk by the end.

As this tangent of the chat room continues, throw in an opinion on The Core drinking game, or if it should be some other movie.

Hee hee. It'd be the usual chat room, which has a webcam feature that we've stress tested with success as yet. (Long broadcasts, etc..) Split off the mixer board into the mic jack of that computer, whabam. It would probably be mid-afternoon on a Sunday.
