That's our webmaster Holden being a pimp.

So whenever Holden does something pimpy with the website, we toast with Holden pimping.



I mean, duh?

The form and formula thing started with Dorkman on Avatar, if I recall correctly.

I still haven't seen most of the pilot. Fortunately, Trey's been on tour with his Terra Nova schpiel.

She's not suggesting we should change what the word means - as far as I understand it - she's suggesting we should change what the idea means.

In other words, not changing what "God" means - changing what God is.

Which is basically the same as changing the word, I guess. Shutting up.

I think she means why can't the concept of God be science, not the word. A strategy of challenging the ideas involved, with baby steps, using old semantics for context.

I'll allow it.

Theatrical Tropic Thunder and the show is starting two hours from the time of this post. If that could possibly help.

Awesome. High five.

The "it sounds good enough for me" reasoning is one I definitely can't argue, so I'm stoked we at least got to an understanding.  big_smile

Oh, I like Horner's, too. Not sure I'm familiar with Goldsmith's.

Anyway, glad that may have cleared the thing up. Thanks for taking the time to watch it.

Didn't see Pav's post, I guess I was looking at the second-to-last page.

I thought about how to re-approach this issue, because on the podcast I gave up, because I wasn't getting anywhere, and was looking increasingly like an idiot. The main problem is that there's not a good shorthand layman way to communicate my point, without everyone listening knowing some stuff about the music theory side of things. So I did a little video to talk a bit about melody and chord theory, and how that relates to other film scores and then to TRON.

I don't expect anyone to particularly care, except for Pavlich, but here. Let me explain it. I put a lot of time into outlining together how best to make my points, and present them here with what might be some interesting information about the process of writing instrumental music, and give you more of an appreciation for it.

This stuff interests me, I know it doesn't interest most people, but what you'll take away from this is that I'm not insane. Perhaps subjectively wrong, but I do, you know, actuallly have a point.

(Also, Hand Covers Bruise is trying to do and be something different, and we can go into that here on the forum if you want, but I'm done trying to talk about music on the show for a while, I think.)

Hey guys. My day job throughout 2011 was as the graphics supervisor for a few non-FX shows, dealing with all of the on screen animation, lower thirds, info boxes, diagrams, etc.. (Think Mythbusters.) There was visual FXy stuff occasionally, but for the most part, during daylight hours at least, I was toodling around in After Effects.

Here's some of my favorite animations from one of our shows, called Strangers in Danger. I like to disclaim that I'm not really an animator, and that all of these were done in on a "holy shit hurry" schedule, so they're not amazing or anything. Just fun.

Usually they say it has to have a trailer and have been in a film festival. Not sure what the reality is, I've never added a project to IMDb, just credits.

Yeah, those were good. I'm re-impressed with myself, they're pretty effective caricatures for being as ridiculously simple as they are.
