Nice, it was going by so fast I only had time to search out Weebs.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much of a main character BB-8 was. More than Poe was, definitely. I expected him to take up R2's sidekick status, but he definitely made a trio with Finn and Rey much the same as Han, Luke and Leia in ANH.
Ah, yeah the CreativeCloud version probably handles Dynamic Link a lot better. CS6 was like, "Oh, your source footage isn't in this very specific format? DPX export for you."
So, no, I don't have a CreativeCloud subscription and I use CS6 
But good to know, I'll take another stab at CC if/when I get a subscription.
I've used it a bit. Not a fan of having to export a 50GB image sequence for a five minute video.
Recorded this at the same time. I didn't have a great example shot, but sometimes I want a shot with a really bright spot and the rest being dark to be more evenly lit, so this is where another use of the Circle tool comes into play.
You were obviously in tremendously capable hands. 
Spray it on, it makes a kinda rubberized layer, and can be peeled back off. Meant to be used for tools and such to give it extra grip I think but it's a great way to customize rims in a non-permanent fashion.
Mmm plastidip. If I didn't have aftermarket rims already I'd be doing that to whatever I did have in the meantime.
Very nice! Always love me some hatches.
Kinda wanted to bring this thread back, after nearly a year of inactivity. Tom asked me for some more detailed advice on shooting a wedding (hmm I wonder why, haha) and I was able to offer it, but without a visual aid I could only offer so much.
My cousin got married this past Halloween. I used my Sony a99 and GoPro Hero 3 Black; in addition to these I was able to borrow a Canon 6D and the Panasonic AG-HMC150P. I had two Sennheiser ew 100 G3 wireless lapel mic sets (plugged into the Panasonic via XLR) and a couple tripods, a monopod and a 13ft light stand.
The setup:
GoPro mounted on top of the light stand, using the app to make sure the framing was good. Wide dump angle, got the whole building and most guests in frame.
Panasonic in back to the left, above the guests in the amphitheatre. Wide shot of the stage, also suitable dump angle.
6D in the back looking up the middle. There was no center aisle (the entrance was by a path off to the side) so Steph, manning the camera, had to adjust its placement a bit to see around heads at the start before guests sat back down. (Look for my mother in an orange wig in the edge of the frame.)
Me on the a99 on a monopod, roaming from one side to the other. I mostly stayed on the groom's side looking at the bride, which also set me up with a great angle on the processional down the side aisle. I switched to the groom's side after some shots of the bride, and lucked out; they didn't mess around and pretty quickly went into their vows, the groom going first, so I was set up for that. As soon as he finished I switched back to get the bride reading hers.
I had one lapel mic on the groom (transmitter clipped to his belt since he wasn't wearing a jacket) and one on the officiant (this is the first time I've ever mic'd up the Grim Reaper before so it was a bit hard to find a spot that wouldn't continually get rubbed against the fabric on the hood; I think we clipped it on one of the forward edges of the hood in front of his face).
I did not have a clear source of audio for the music, which was, best as I can tell, played off of someone's phone. It stuttered a bit and they didn't even play the recessional music, so I asked for the names of the tracks from the bride and edited those in so it'd be clearer. (I love her music choices.)
lastly I made sure to get some b-roll. The bride ran late to the ceremony location so while people were waiting I scanned the crowd and got shots of them, including a shot of the bride's mom near the start. (I'm sure I got the groom's family too but I wouldn't know them by sight and didn't include them.) When a bunch of leaves fell, I made sure to get some b-roll of falling leaves as well. If you have the manpower for it, reaction shots can help add depth to the video, and shooting b-roll before or after the ceremony can help too (particularly if the could did a unity ceremony, like a candle or sand).
It was an odd location, but it worked out. GoPro, additional wide, center camera and roaming side camera. If you're looking to shoot a wedding ceremony this might be helpful to study.
Many NLEs have a baked-in Vignette effect. Premiere CS6 does not. How to make one using the Circle effect:
Editing a Premiere tutorial in Premiere is weird.
I think 8 Eastern is our standard. I'm hard capping my end time at midnight, did a LAN party here over the weekend and I'm short on sleep.
"Asking for a friend."
Good to know, if we have to call in search and rescue we'll have to remember to leave out that you were supposed to burn down some sort of government building with us that night.
D'oh! Here and I'll update the original post. Got so stymied trying to find smaller preview images <.<

Also: The Borderlands "Roll For Initiative" prints being among her most popular ones, she plans on continuing the series two at a time. If there's a character you're interested in, let me know and I'll ask her if she's planning on featuring them coming up
My friend Mina's an artist who goes to various conventions selling her work as well as doing demos for Copic markers as a regional representative. With the holidays coming up I wanted to share a link to her online store in case there's anything you guys might find interesting.

The only thing I can think to add is true for most content creation - regularity. Set a schedule and stick to it so that listeners can expect, be ready for, and look forward to each episode. If you're currently churning out content at a rate of an episode every other week but know that the spring semester or something is going to eat into peoples' time, maybe go for once a month and build a backlog to work through it - much better than having to go on hiatus for some indefinite period of time and lose yuor repeat listeners.
Recent anecdote/example: C.A. Pinkham ran Kitchenette, a food blog on the Gawker network. They canned him in their recent restructuring; he was able to find a new place of employment within 48 hours largely in part to Behind Closed Ovens, a feature every Monday morning at 11AM Eastern that regularly drew hundreds of thousands of pageviews each week. The regular, high quality feature grew a fanbase that spoke in obscure memes (Pinkham's law, allergic to crispy and monogrammed thermoses to tell a few) and the two most common types of comments were, "That lead image has me hungry," and, "You give me something to look forward to every Monday morning."
Lucy pissed me off with the "We only use 10% of our brains" starting line. So I'm right there with you
That's pretty awesome. Great job!
I wouldn't mind a break either. See you gents in December!
You could always do KOTOR, KOTOR 2 and then TOR
Well I guess I've got Star Wars Sundays filled up on my channel until 2018.
I've got Vapes more or less yelling at me to play Battlefront on the channel. Thing is, multiplayer games don't interest me that much. "Have fun with the best Star Wars game this decade," I told him, "I'll enjoy the best of last decade."
I've started playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic again for a playthrough on my channel.
Other games I've got recorded through the end of this month. KotOR will start in December and so far I've got midway through February in the can.
I had forgotten how absorbing this game is.
The aforementioned rambling and EXTREMELY SPOILERY video, here.
Replayed the game as I got footage for it. Still very enjoyable, though obviously as I was on Easy going through it was a bit too much of a breeze. I didn't mention it in the video but the collectibles should be a fun hunt to go through as well.
Well, we know that Ghostwalker is a thing because of my meeting with Brennan; granted we might not technically know how connected Michael is to all of it. Still, it plays well in the story
